....14a Effervescent indicates an anagram of GYRAL with 'splashes of' = single letters from the next 3 words L,P,A + AXIS

...7d 'Call' = CRY wrapping Stan (Laurel)'s 'foil' OLLIE (Hardy).
The extra letter leaves 'min(c)e' for the definition.

...14a is an &lit clue - the whole clue reads as the definition, with the wordplay combined.

Apologies for the unnecessary '&lit' explanation fishbonealec - I see now that you wrote 'advanced xword novice', not 'cryptic xword...'.
