Ridcully's Travelling Furniture Manufactory now works properly when cast in water.

This was a perfectly understandable mistake that was by no means anyone's fault and was in fact something that could have happened to anyone.

Items made heavier with Luquayle's Longevity-Enhancing Ballast or Mama Adena's Burden of Responsibility had their enchantment decaying more than was intended. This has now been fixed. You may need to check the enchantment level of such items and top them up as appropriate.

Natural talismen now decay to the same relative thaum level as their deluded counterparts.

NOTE: When making items heavier they keep their amount of enchantment resulting in an apparent reduction in relative enchantment. T...

Granny Weatherwax has returned from a brief trip to Powderknife, where she enjoyed a pleasant cup of tea with the town's local witch. The local witch in question just so happened to remember the details of a new spell she has been working on, and of course she was going to let Granny know just as soon as... well yes she absolutely could have popped over to Bad Ass, but it's just that with all the snow and... No of course it wasn't fair of her to make Granny come all the way here at this time of ...

The hedge wizards of Skund Forest have been hard at work over the last few months and have finally finished renovating their dilapidated gathering point northeast of Pekan Ford.

Some disparate pieces of knowledge have been gathered into one place - a rarity for these nomadic sorts, but a boon for wizardry as a whole. Some of the more enterprising types have also taken the opportunity to set up shop in what they hope will become something of a hub for like-minded spellcasters.

All are welcome t...

This past weekend, many bug fixes, improvements and alterations were made to the Thieves Guild (and more). Here are some of the most noteworthy changes:

*Several previously-runtiming rooms relating to the Thieves' Guild punishment system have been fixed to no longer runtime. If you have been relying on this issue to avoid being thrown into a pit for being naughty, please be aware that this strategy will no longer work.

* Thieves' Guild heavies will no longer take living things (such as pets) f...

There are new thresholds for the number of votes that assassin specialisation leaders must gain in their elections in order to receive some or all of their powers. Previously the powers were split at 5, 8, 10 and 15 votes; we have now collapsed these into two categories which are gained at 5 and 8 votes respectively (note that 5 votes are required to be elected in the first place).

The powers to ban individuals from guild grounds, disavow specialisation members, and sanction individuals with a ...

This month's Bugfix Weekend was focused on warriors, but we also have a few little faith-related treats.

The alignment-based messages that are shown to a person who actively leaves a deity's passage room are now also shown to the people following that person. (These messages have no actual effect - they're just for flavour.)

Faith shields lasting more than two years were supposed to print special messages when viewed with the "shields" command, but there was a bug preventing this. That bug ha...

The Face of things to come.

The Fools have continued in their obstinate refusal to Face the fact that they are a joke guild.

Brother Emmett has managed to procure some more stock including a circus tent and some new clothes for those who want to take their show on the road.

Brother Boffo, in addition to tidying up the ledgers containing existing faces so that one can find a registered face more easily, has created a set of forms that can be used to guide a new Fool in the art of creating ...

The Gods of Discworld have been in a giving mood over Hogswatch, and have decided to distribute one last set of boons to their faithful before turning their attention back to important Cori Celesti infighting.

Rituals

* Sufficiently skilled players can now break out of stasis spheres with unarmed strikes.

* It is now possible travel to the air room via Divine Hand.

* The helpfile for Horror has been updated to clarify that it can be performed while holding a faith rod.

* Holy Insight now h...
