Enchantment on custom items ordered from Ug Ogg should now play nicely with Gryntard's Feathery Reliever.

Ug has also made some minor additions and improvements to his catalogue and customisation options, and will include coverage in the information provided before completing an order. An order can now be cancelled at any time, for a fraction of the full cost.

Casting Changes, posted on Tue Jan 8 23:00:47 2013

There have been a couple of changes to casting spells that should fix some issues with the "using" syntax of the cast command, eg "cast mother feelbright's busy bees on soldier using 10 dollops of honey" and "cast tpa on me using 1 handful of ash in backpack and shield in backpack" should now work.

In addition to this, if an item is taken from a component pouch while casting, the code will attempt to return non-consumed items to the same container after the spell has finished.

Thieves can now choose to "check/read quota brief" or "check/read receipts brief" for a more condensed summary.

The warpaint command can now be used without specifying the paint, which will use any paint available in what you are carrying or in a container previously identified as 'component pouch'.

The spell Old Bellicus' Brazen Knuckles has undergone a slight rebalancing. This has resulted in a shorter maximum duration and a lower maximum damage, and the spell now stacking to a cap in a similar way to Chrenedict's Calcareous Covering.

Targetted offensive spells may now only be cast at player targets when both caster and target are PK. Also, PK death should no longer cause priests and followers to forget rituals.

It has come to Gapp's attention that members of his clergy have been seen wearing seriously unsophisticated armour that doesn't sit well with the God of Fine Clothing. As such, he has seen fit to grant his most devout followers a new way in which to appeal to his inherent stylish nature by beautifying the intrinsically ugly.

Religious instructors may be willing to teach those with sufficient skills inside his priesthood.

Language Relief, posted on Sun Apr 29 04:19:27 2012

Kompt de Yoyo in the Ankh-Morpork Guild of Assassins will now teach languages to non-assassins for a small fee.

The ritual "relief" does not damage the performer any more and it no longer generates GP from the ether.

Instead a percentage of the performer's available faith GP is transferred to the target.

Some changes to wands:

All offensive wands now have a skillcheck between the zapper and victim.

Balsa wands should backfire less.

The wand of striking can now be used to break stasis spheres (either with the zap or shatter commands).

There are some new options relating to coming back to life with the raise dead and resurrect rituals. "options auto death" can be used to allow for automatic approval of raise dead and resurrect.

If you have these options turned off and need a resurrect you can enable single players to perform the rituals on you with the new syntax of the "permit" command, which means that you do not have to allow them access to your corpse.

Witches can now mock the playing of and serenading with musical instrum...
