Hey guys,

Just some more foci changes as we try to figure out the best way to handle of these abilities in prep for war. As before, we'll be monitoring them, so try not to freak out too much! If you have feedback about the recent changes, you're more then welcome to message me.

Crystalism
==========================
- Cataclysm is no longer disbarred from striking into a foci zone from outside
the area.
* Make sure you stick to the game rules of only attacking those with auras.
- Cataclysm spells will no longer work from portal rooms, they will revert to
normal.
- Cataclysm spells now cost double mana and willpower if the target is not in
the same room.

Domination
==========================
- Enabled Golgotha's Pit as a usable ability at foci.
- The Pit no longer automatically draws people into it.
- In order to have the Pit draw people in, you must ENSORCELL PIT, which is a
channeled action.
* The summoner of the Pit is automatically put into this channeled state.
* Any Domination user with the Golgotha skill may perform this ability.
* Should you be interrupted, you may ensorcell the Pit again if you choose.
- The Pit no longer draws in everyone, only the enemies of the original
summoner.
- The Pit is no longer a giant maze, instead it now has a single map layout.
- The exit is now a hidden OUT exit in one of the outter rooms between the
two levels.
* The location of this exit changes each time the Pit is summoned, but is
otherwise permanent.
- The minions of the Pit no longer give experience when slain.
- Pit demons will now block players from leaving the room they stand in.
- Claw fiends now have the ability to break magical shields.
- It is no longer possible to LEAVE PIT after a period of of time.
- If you so choose, you can ENTER PIT at the location of its summoning.
- Reduced Pit duration to 2 minutes, down from 5 minutes.
