On Tuesday evening US time, approximately 48 hours from now, I'll be
releasing the following changes:

o Timewarp curing will be moved to steam.

o Temp Insanity curing will be moved to lucidity slush.

o Faeleaf and Earwort will require and consume dust balance.

o Roped, trussed, shackled, and entangled will be collapsed into a
single affliction: entangled. Other physical writhe afflictions,
including vines, hoist, and clamp, will remain for the nonce.

o Bearhug will be returned to its previous efficacy: Demigod-level
bearhug will deal crushedchest, and demigod+-level bearhug will
instakill if the target is under 20% health and afflicted with
crushedchest.

o The resilience skill will be removed (and lessons refunded). The
resistance granted by the skill will be moved to Combat, and shrugging
will be made universal.

o Aeon (and similar command-delaying effects) will be adjusted to
maintain a queue of entered commands, allowing the ability to enter
multiple commands at once and have them execute in sequence, each
command run with the appropriate delay between. A new unforceable
command, STOP ACTIONS (or something) will be added to instantly clear
this queue.


In addition, the following changes will be made available in overhaul
arena matches for balance testing purposes:

o Chansu will be changed to afflict with anorexia.

o The three existing FOCUS abilities will be disabled.

o Beast curing will be disabled.

o New syntaxes will be added for consuming dust, slush, and steam,
allowing the specification of a specific affliction that should be cured
first. Each syntax will have its own associated cost, on top of
consuming cure balance. If the user is not specified with the specified
affliction, there will be no extra cost. If the cost cannot be met (in
the power and beast versions), the cure will go through unmodified,
curing an affliction at random. The syntaxes and costs are as follows:

- <consume> <cure> FOCUS <affliction> - 1.5x cure balance

- <consume> <cure> POWERFOCUS <affliction> - 1 power

- <consume> <cure> BEASTFOCUS <affliction> - Beast balance

- Examples: SIP SLUSH FOCUS STUPIDITY; SMOKE STEAM BEASTFOCUS
ACHROMATICAURA.

o Burns and ablaze will be cured by applying restorative ice to the
body.

o Shivering and frozen will be cured by applying ice to the body, eating
dust, and smoking soothing steam. Only one of these will be used when
moved live, but due to balance concerns I want to experiment some and
find the ideal cure for these afflictions.
