The many headed beast of classleads

Addressed to: Everyone
We're pleased to kick off the year with some classleads. Some big changes for druids in particular in this batch:
Aeonics
-------
* DISTORTIONS are now wiped on assuming ELEMENTAL LORD or DRAGON form.
Anathema
--------
* Death by MANALEECH damage via PRESENCE now has a deathsight.
Attainment
----------
* BATTLERAGE RAMPART for EARTH LORDS is no longer blocked by your target being shielded.
Conjuration
-----------
* The component costs of STAR sigils have been changed. See the abfile for details.
Elementalism
-----------
* You can no longer MUFFLE RETARDATION vibrations.
Ignition
--------
* You may now ASHSTEP on the plane of fire as if there is a permanent ASH RAIN.
Metamorphosis
-------------
* (Druid): HYDRA clamps have had their limb damage reduced from 30% to 24%.
* (Druid): New wyvern ability: FRENZY. This one is a big change, see the abfile for details.
* (Druid): BLAZE now has an additional function, permitting situational parry bypass. See the abfile for details.
* Forest enemies now lose all of the benefits from the TRUEMORPH ability.
Propagation
-----------
* Forest enemies can no longer assume the VIRIDIAN.
Puppetry/Vodun
--------------
* STATUS now only requires 1 fashion. It now consumes balance if you try to status a puppet/doll of someone while the doll is less than 15 fashions and the target is not in your room.
Subterfuge
----------
* EVADE now has a somewhat longer balance if the serpent is not hidden. If hidden, it remains as before.
Tekura
------
* There is now a very short stun to a target when a tekura attack breaks a limb against them while they are PRONE.
Weaponmastery
-------------
* (Two handed): CONTINUATION now has a 7 second cooldown and has had its battlefury balance significantly reduced. Functionally you can continuation the same amount as previously, it just won't lock your offense out for so long when you do it.
Woodlore
--------
* The no summoning forest animals as a forest enemy now actually works. Think of all the missed opportunities.
Misc
----
* Random cure abilities (tree, passives, actives etc) will now try to cure a humour similar to eating a ginger if no other afflictions are present to be cured by said method.
Enjoy!
Penned by My hand on the 10th of Valnuary, in the year 877 AF.
