Addressed to: Everyone


- More adjustments to the order of skills in all four of the Music
specializations. It should now be true that, in all four skillsets,
- CaptiveAudience comes at Virtuoso
- Encore comes at Mythical
- All mid-stanza songs are learned before all high-stanza songs
If you lost a skillset because of this, you should have gained one.

- Encore will now show in DEF.

- CGHELP and CLHELP should show the help file index if typed alone.

- When slickness prevents applying arnica, the message will refer to
arnica, not a salve.

- You can no longer exhibit paintings inside tents or other temporary
rooms.

- Only illithoids level 50 or higher can Illdrain, as the help file
always specified.

- Beryl vials can now be addressed with the "beryl" noun.

- Novices will no longer be treated as Loyalists at CR1.

- Linking astral nodes will no longer seem to be linking dross.

- Emotes will target things in your inventory before in the room.

- Actions that don't interrupt teleports won't interrupt totem and
demesne return.

- Champion helms that add +10 to one-handed weapons will now add +20 to
two-handed weapons.

- News of raising Ascendants won't be marked as "Political Upheaval".

- Waylay won't trigger on out-of-phase people.

- Souls who die while flying can now LAND.

- Telekinesis barrier will prevent feared people from moving out of the
room.

- Shadows will now show in brief descriptions rather than only the
verbose.

- Trying to unravel a gate when you do not have the power will not waste
mana.

- Auric afflictions won't be given to you again if you die to
discordantchord.

- Loneliness from ecology pet death was afflicting souls. No lonely
souls here!

- Ecology familiars were blocking an ecologist's own attacks rather than
your enemies. This has been fixed and the collective population of foxes,
spiders, and owls reprimanded.

- User-friendly changes were added to the process of envenoming pets to
lessen confusion.

- BOND ENVENOM SHOW will show you what type of fetish your bonded animal
has.

- Familiarsting and Familiarberserk weren't targetting enemies properly.
All of your pets have now received a crash course in proper ways to
sting fighters.

- Mountkick was not properly checking for a few resistance conditions,
and it has been fixed.

- Those afflicted with vapors from a Celest phial will see the
affliction message properly.

We have a couple of volunteer coders who help us out behind the scenes,
and one of them happens to be Charune, who I'd like to give a shout out
to for about a third of these bug fixes.
