Changes to the game during the 2018 calendar year.

January

  • Messaging updates.
  • New soul pool ranges.
  • STUDY command added for syntax and usage.
  • Changed from 'sphere' to 'vessel'.
  • Longer duration.
  • Soul state boosts for the summoner when the vessel is used by non-Paladins to replenish vitality.
  • Vessel will persist in a room even if the Paladin leaves the area, but will still not persist if the Paladin logs out.

February

  • Warrior mage spell changes[8] to:
  • Anther's Call: The spell now gives -Evasion instead of immobilization, and is two slots instead of one.
  • Ice Patch: Now Immobilizes, instead of stuns. Still knocks down.
  • Sure Footing: Spell is now two slots, to better match similar abilities.
  • Tremor: Players who kneel or sit are no longer immune to the effects. Single Target option is gone.
  • No longer requires a piercing weapon. On a miss, slicing weapons will replace the attack with SLICE, and blunt weapons will replace the attack with SWING. These are also the maneuvers it messages as.
  • Can target all creatures, not just bipeds.
  • Ability is renamed to BLINDSIDE, with corresponding BLINDSIDE verb. BACKSTAB remains a viable alias.
  • The weight requirement (30 stone cap) still remains. There are still weapon-type requirements, but they should now include Light Blunts and Medium Blunts.
