Lots of changes coming from the Telekinesis and Astrology reports, as
well as other fixes.

===Telekinesis===

o Clot has been adjusted and will only require 2 vessels per clot to
form.

o The bleeding on burst vessels has been lowered and made much less
variable.

o Breakarm and Breakleg have been removed and replaced with an
encompassing enhanced skill - PsychicFist!

o A new utility skill has been added - PsychicLift!

o Choke is able to now be limited by room, if the telekinetic so
chooses. See the AB for syntax.

o The damage for fling indoors has been increased and now gives the
"partially damaged head" affliction.

o Forcefeed no longer requires the wielding of food.


===Astrology===

o Positive spheres will show up in DEFENCES.

o Negative spheres will show up in DIAGNOSE.

o Effectiveness of the spider and bumblebee spheres has been increased.

o Sun ray damage has been slightly increased.

o Willpower and endurance costs for casting have been slightly lowered.


===Other Fixes===

o You can meditate while prone.

o Bubbled people will not be pushed into nexii.

o Asking mobs for skill level when transcendent will not tell you that
you are 0% on the way to the next level.

o Pets will not dodge attacks that are normally undodgeable (such as
psionics).

o Library archive dates will now show correctly.

o Fixed a bug that caused kegs to lose track of their design when
certain fluids were poured into them.

o You can pour interchangeably between kegs, vials, bottles, and
glasses, with the exception of crafted fluids into kegs. You also cannot
fill anything but vials from kegs.

o You can pour between containers in your hand.

o You can fill bottles from manse fountains, not just vials.

o When a keg has less than a full vial's worth of fluid, it will show
how many sips when you probe it, instead of just saying "0 vials".

o The untrapped error while replaying a stage production is now a thing
of the past!

o The bug that prevented people from wearing fullplate has been fixed.

o CARTEL <cartel> MEMBERS has been added to list the members of a
cartel.

o When trademasters set comments for a design, the comments will not be
forced to all lowercase.

o Telekinesis Forcefeed messages will indicate whether the attempt was
successful.

o Listening through a Hunting bond will not reveal the true names of
those who are masked.

o RANKINGS XP will not reveal if someone is masking or masquerading.

o When learning the last lessons before becoming transcendent, you won't
waste any lessons if you spend more than you need.

o Demigod zaps can no longer be dodged by acrobatics.

o Anerod now works like other poisons with abilities like ScorpionSpit
and Immunity.

o Novices who commit suicide will no longer show on GUILD MEMBERS and
cannot be checked on with GUILD STATUS.
