I have just loaded a major change to how afflictions are handled
internally by the game. At the moment, only one affliction has been
converted to the new system: Paralysis.

To go with the new system, there is a new command: AFFLICT. Type it for
the syntax list.

We will be slowly converting every single affliction in the game to the
new system over the next few months. Whenever a new one is converted,
the AFFLICT command will be automatically updated.

Besides that new command, you should observe no change with afflictions
and their effects. If you notice anything acting funny, make sure you
BUG it.
