>>Oh yeah, and is there any chance Perseverance of Peri'el is getting close?


I actually had written and released it in test at one point, but I quickly reversed the changes since we decided we wanted to handle the vitality barrier mechs in a different way. It's taking a while for that to shake out since at around that time we decided to take a hard look at barrier spells as a whole, so if I did release it, it'd be in a state that may or may not change depending on how barriers end up being handled. I'm only peripherally involved in the barriers thing so I really cannot elaborate on that aspect at all. I think that's going to be part of what we're affectionately calling Magic 3.2. (Maybe we should start giving the updates cute Ubuntu-style names? Crotchety cat? Curmudgeonly crab?)

So if folks are okay with it possibly being tweaked with a general barriers update... we'll see. Keep in mind that the healing rewrite is going to be in test along with all the magic changes. I have a feeling getting the healing systems working nicely and bug-free is going to be sucking up most of my free dev time for a while, but after that has settled down I'll be in a position to tie up a bunch of loose ends like PoP and some of the Heal/Devour updates, etc.
