Change Log

EDITED by Uversy (5-20-2008)
1. I had no way of contacting the original author of this script (that I could see) but this had to be fixed since it got me killed.
The script does not notice when casting the moongate spell to get out of the Astral Plane fails. As such, you release your mana and
then die. I've added a check when moongate is cast to see if it failed. If it does, then a the user pulls some more mana together
and calls exitAP again.

2. Addition of the ability for the user to define just how much mana they harness when the script requires it. By setting the variable
"mana" just below, the user is better set for their particular casting ability. The default is '15'. I did this because having only
30 mana harnessed while in the planes is a bit dicey for me. I personally set "mana" to '20'.

3. Addition of deletevariable commands under the "cleanup:" label to remove variables used by this script.

EDITED by Uversy (5-23-2008)
1. Asharshpar'i wasn't being recognized from the starting point. Included a "look shard" command and altered the match text for this shard.

2. Altered how the mana harness engine works and added the variable "myCounter". Users can now define "myCounter" to a number 1-4
which will determine how many times your moon mage harnesses before casting. Along with the use of the "mana" variable, this will allow
users the most flexible control of how they obtain the mana they will use in the moongate spell.

3. Changed "harnessMana3" label to "harnessEmergency" and utilized the new harness engine in order to condense the code some.

1. Inclusion of handling for when a shard is not known at the starting point
