Paladin liaison changes - Part I

Addressed to: Everyone
As mentioned in the title, this is only part one of the Paladin liaison
changes. Only the changes to Devotion and Forging has been updated, but
never fear - Chivalry has been completed and will follow suit soon.
Devotion
--------
- You can now have multiple rites in a room. The effects of multiple
rites should not stack, however, and only one of the particular type of
rite should hit. Please bug any instances of this not being true
immediately.
- Hellsight will now afflict intelligently - that is, it should not be
giving a target an affliction he or she already has.
- You can now use PERFORM FOCUS, which will stop most forms of movement
- including voluntary.
- Engage can no longer be used if your target is affected by a warding
rite.
- Rite of Revitalization now only affects allies of its owner.
Forging
-------
- All newly forged weapons will now last only 80 months, instead of 250.
If any newly forged weapons are discovered to have a lifetime of 250
months, please bug it immediately.
- Fullplates are now considered indestructible, in the sense that you
cannot destroy them with mushroom or spore sigils. They can still be
smelted.
Miscellaneous
-------------
The prompt code has been re-written in an attempt at optimizing, and
some changes have been made. As a result, while I have taken care to
avoid any issues, some of you may need to make minor fixes to your
prompt. The following changes have been made:
- None of the tokens are automatically coloured on their own anymore, so
you must use the respective colour token in order to have the value
coloured accordingly.
- The @kai token will now -only- display a numerical value of kai
energy, instead of the weird dashes-and-plusses.
I am aware that these are out of schedule, but it was agreed upon by the
liaisons that the following Bloodborn skills needed urgent attention,
and thus I am addressing them now:
- Stilltongue will no longer hide every affliction message when used in
conjunction with doublewhisper - each affliction has a varying chance of
being hidden, or not.
- When active, Stilltongue will also increase the equilibrium cost of
doublewhisper by a total of one second.
- Purify now has a 10 second cooldown between each use, will use up some
mana and has a 1/3 chance to cure one affliction instead of two.
