Classleads 2017 q1 round - batch 2

Written by: Makarios, the Meticulous
Date: Friday, January 13th, 2017
Addressed to: Everyone


Close on the heels of the first batch, here's the second round of classledas from our 2017 q1 round:

Curses
------
* TZANTZA now requires only 1 mental affliction to initiate. Its base channel time is now ten seconds, decreasing for each valid tzantza affliction on the target. At six afflictions there is no windup period and the target shall die instantly.

Domination
----------
* The CADMUS CURSE affliction no longer contributes towards the five affliction requirement for HECATE.
* The recovery time from COMMANDing the BUBONIS entity has been reduced.
* Note I might revisit solution 1 of classlead 61 if these changes are insufficient.

Dragoncraft
-----------
* The MAJESTERIAL VOICE trait no longer reduces roar damage. Instead, it removes the damage bonus/disrupt chance for roaring an undeaf target.
* The MIGHTY LUNGS trait now applies a damage reduction to breath-based attacks.
* BREATHSTREAM has had its damage formula slightly reworked.

Elementalism
------------
* Reduced the equilibrium cost of AERIAL.

Groves
------
* Increased the health of GOLEMs.
* A MONOLITH sigil on either end of a SUMMON attempt shall double the time that summon attempt takes to complete. That monolith must be at the same elevation as the target, so flying people are summoned at the normal speed all of the time.

Metamorphosis
-------------
* MIGHT is no longer useable while prone.


Puppetry/vodun:
--------------
* THROTTLE now does bonus damage against a target with asthma.

Runelore
--------
* Reduced the willpower cost of EMPOWERing weapons and armour.
* Weapon runes will no longer be wiped upon switching class.

Shadowmancy
-----------
* Summoning and dismissing a MANIFESTed weapon with MANIFEST/BANISH now does not consume equilibrium.

Spiritlore
----------
* Now that CURSEWARD is a viable alternative, spirit-based invokes now bypass magical shields.

Woodlore
--------
* Hitting a SNARE/NOOSE trap will no longer cause everyone to stop following you.
* The ability to SUMMON ANIMAL <target> has been reverted.
* NATIVITY has been moved much further down in the skill - DARTS remains the transcendent ability.

Misc
----
* The WILLPOWER and ENDURANCE minor shrine miracles are now area-wide in an area your patron holds sovereignty in. We may expand this to other miracles later, but I want to avoid potential impact on sanctioned raids for the time being.

Enjoy!
