A bug has been fixed in how the number of recordable slots on broomsticks is calculated.

As a result you may suddenly find yourself with fewer slots than you are used to getting. Please don't die due to this!

Members of the Guilds domain have made the following changes this Bugfix Weekend:

* Hopeful Hashishim recruits can now get an escort from the Djelian office to the Hashishim cave in order to join the illustrious guild. And once there, Hashishim can now slide down the banister from the second storey.

Tempting Treats For Trolls, posted on Sat Sep 4 18:55:45 2010

Trolls are no longer susceptible to the poison of poisonous apples. However, they are susceptible to poisonous minerals, particularly sulphur, cinnabar, micholite and rose quartz. Witches might find that they are also quite attracted to such unhealthy items, if they're proferred in a particularly tempting way.

Looting Warded Items, posted on Tue Aug 24 12:52:59 2010

Taking a warded item from a corpse will now always trigger the ward, unless it is an item that you owned or a corpse you have been permitted to remove items from. The skillcheck for normal theft is unaffected.

Celestial anchor has been tweaked and should now be effective against all forms of movement. To balance this, it has been made harder, and should in addition no longer have the extreme durations it had before.

Whispers are spreading around the Djelibeybi bazaar of a new resident in the Hashishim guild - apparently an artist of some kind. Rumour has it that this rather attractive young woman has been seen deep in conversation with the Adb al Alim, though why needles and numbers would come up in the same breath is anyone's guess.

The guilds domain has implemented some colourful and not so colourful ideas:

* Ink can now be added to the stove at Wee Flaudia's to make coloured candles.

* Witches' broomsticks are now able to be painted with paint and brushes available from house decoration shops (the paint used needs to be newly purchased to have the colour set properly).

* Rods can now be referred to with the ritual name when imprinted, or the imbue level.

* GPs can be fed to all summons to make them stay longer.

The Warriors' Guild trainers have discovered their creative side, and now offer to teach recruits the ability to apply fearsome warpaint to liven things up and give their foes a bit of a scare (or possibly a laugh).

Magic wands have had a bit of an overhaul. The chances and consequences of backfires have been tweaked to take better account of skills, and the messages have been clarified a little. In addition, backfires on certain wands should now be more interesting!
