Tekura

completing a quest. It will be permanently available to you once

up incorporeal players.

- Lowered the bleeding caused by Thornspray in half.

Miscellaneous
=========================
- When you have both claustrophobia and agoraphobia, you will
periodically lose mana and have a chance to suffer from 4 seconds of
blackout.
* This will override the fear inducing effect that moves you from
room to room.
