Skillset Changes

Two changes today...
Firstly, the Magic skillset is gone. Everything it did will now be done
by learning the High Magic or Low Magic skillsets, in addition to
everything else they've always done. If you had lessons invested in it
then you have received a full refund in your general lessons bucket, not
the lesson pool, so there won't be a penalty for using the lessons
anywhere else you want.
Secondly, you can now make skillsets dormant rather than forgetting them
and losing all your skill ranks. The syntax is FORGET <skillset>
TEMPORARILY. If you want the old forget then it's FORGET <skillset>
PERMANENTLY. You can see all dormant skillsets and their ranks using
SKILLCHOICE LIST. If a skillset is a valid skill choice then you can
activate it again using SKILLCHOICE ACTIVATE <skillset> at a cost of 50
lessons for a full skillset or 25 lessons for the top or bottom half of
a skillset with specializations (like Aquamancy or Elementalism). The
skillset will be restored at exactly the skill rank you had at the time
it was deactivated.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You cannot activate a skillset if it is not a valid
skill choice! This does NOT change when you are able to obtain a
skillset.
This should make it easier to:
+ Swap between specializations or secondary skillsets within the same
guild. Example: Swap between Axelord and Pureblade while in a warrior
guild.
+ Swap between different trade skillsets.
+ Try new guilds.
You can activate only one skillset per game month (RL day). Exception:
Once a game year, if you join a new guild then you can activate up to
four skillsets.
