Priest updates and combat patches

We've just loaded up some fairly significant changes to the PRIEST class along with some standard patches. Regarding priests, the aim here was to bring their offensive capabilities into line with a more modern standard, and remove the significant script burden imposed on users of the healing skill. Here are all the details:

Aeonics
-------
* DISTORTIONS now vanish on the death of the caster.

Devotion
--------
* New ability: CONGREGATION.
* VISIONS now gives SHYNESS and DEMENTIA instead of HALLUCINATIONS and DEMENTIA.

Formulation
-----------
* The passive damage to the alchemist while under the influence of MAYOLOGY is now multiplied by the number of people with MAYOLOGY active in their room.

Healing
-------
* FIREDISRUPT is no longer focussable.
* AIRDISRUPT has had its effect changed to deal health and mana damage on hellsight ticks, rather than on attempts to smoke.
* SPIRITLASH no longer scales off of aff count. Rather, you may now SPIRITLASH <target> <element> to deliver various effects if that elements disrupt is present on the target.
* New ability: SERENDIPITY.
* Trying to heal someone who is not present now incurs a short healing balance knock.
* BEDEVILAURA now only requires the spirit channel to put up.

Puppetry
--------
* New addition to STATUS: PUPPET SUMMARY.

Spirituality
------------
* You may now specify the aff from the CHASTEN BODY or standard pool. Note that you cannot specify the special affs (justice/impatience): those must be accessed via the previous method.
* ANGEL SAP now does mana drain scaling to affliction count rather than a flat amount.

Vodun
-----
* New addition to STATUS: VODUN SUMMARY.

Enjoy!
