I'm happy to announce that we've recently added, on a volunteer basis, a
new member to our coding team -- the player behind the god Shaitan. He
has been extremely helpful to the Weaver and I on bugfixes and other
updates to Achaea's code. Here are some recent fixes and updates from the
coding team, many taken from classleads' reports:

CHIVALRY
- Lunge no longer completes if you hit a totem while lunging.

CRYSTALISM
- Plague vibe now only takes ONE magi to spin, but the vibration's
lifetime has been reduced to 60 seconds (double with tuning fork).

DOMINATION
- Added 3 second balance loss after using a pathfinder.

ELEMENTALISM (Sylvan)
- Thornrend now takes 10 less willpower than it did.

GROVES
- When someone uses SWING QUARTERSTAFF against you, if you are already
prone, your balance loss is halved.

METAMORPHOSIS
- The ability SPY should now work in blizzards if goggles of whitesight
are worn.

NECROMANCY
- A cosmetic change to vivisect -- new deathsight message for when you
vivisect somebody.
- Equilibrium loss for Sapience and Vigour both reduced.
- When blackwinded, you should no longer hit traps.

OCCULTISM
- Tentacles no longer work if Occultist is astralformed.
- When astralformed, you should no longer hit traps.

PUPPETRY/VODUN
- Puppet and vodun strip both give the puppet/doll user an indication
as to what was stripped, now.

RUNELORE
- Thurisaz rune should now generate kai for monks.

SPIRITUALITY
- Balance/equilibrium checks to angel presences added so it cannot be
stacked.

SUBTERFUGE
- Backstab should now respect reflections.

TAROT
- Peace/pacifism afflictions should no longer prevent you from using
Fool on yourself/Magician/Priestess cards.

VISION
- Skywatch no longer reveals phased flyers.

WOODLORE
- BTHROW (as well as boomerangs) should both now respect reflections
consistently.

MISC
- Can no longer throw things at people through one-way exits.

More to come!
