Domination
==========================
- [2028] Doppleganger seek is now instant if the target has the leeched
aura affliction.

Ferality
==========================

3.15.

from 4.

Forging
==========================
- [1989] Added a new forgable weapon: Stiletto.
- [1995] You can now check FORGING APPRENCESHIP to see what you have
specialised in.

Hypnosis
==========================
- [2038] I've rescripted a large portion of Hypnosis as it had a lot
of old code no longer referenced within it, you can find the
changes below:
* You can now only suggest one affliction at any time.
* Normalized all suggestion equilibrium costs to 2 seconds of
equilibrium.
* Removed the need to hypnotise the target when someone else has
them in a suggestable state.
* You can now re-hypnotise a sealed target, allowing you to add
further suggestions.
* Cleanse requires your target to be in a suggestable state.
* Upped the mana and willpower costs on the actions of hypnotising.
* Berserk for hypnosis renamed to berserking.
* Belonephobia dropped from hypnosis as it is depreciated.
* Added Analyse and Cleanse as performable actions in phase as long
as you know Ethergaze.
* Seal now requires a value between 3 and 60 seconds.
* Pacifism no longer fades on its own after 2-5 minutes.
* We'll deal with the Syssin charm a little bit down the track, so
make sure you hold onto them for now.

Subterfuge
==========================
- [1989] The stiletto can now be used in place of a dirk. This is purely
cosmetic.
- [2038] Illusion balance has now been removed. Abilities that cost
illusion balance now consume equilibrium when used.
- [2038] Shroud and ghost now last longer when cast on yourself, and
can be refreshed by recasting.

Woodlore
==========================
- [2006] Swapped dizziness to self-pity for the cockatrice.
- [2006] Swapped vertigo to berserking when using Daunt with the
cockatrice.

Miscellaneous
==========================
- [1998] Fixed some bugs not marking some forest environments as a
forest for the purpose of skills.
- [2004] Peace is now classed as a mental affliction. Look at HELP
TYPES for its placement in the tree.
- [2045] The icewyrm now freezes a player 100% of the time, up
from 50%.
