Firstaid!

A new skill has been added to Survival - FirstAid!
With all of the herb-cured afflictions having been added to the
affliction database (which you can use via the AFFLICTION command), I
have been able to load up one segment of my prior project.
The firstaid skill is used via the config verb. Once turned on, it will
attempt to automatically cure afflictions on a regular pulse.
A couple of things to note:
- The system will only cure herb-cured afflictions (the only exception
being afflictions also cured by the tree tattoo, compose and focus).
- The system is not intended to permanently take the place of a system
in combat, but instead designed to make getting combat easier.
- We will be keeping an eye on the system to determine if it needs to be
slowed down or altered in any way.
Things you can do:
- If you notice any herb-cured afflictions that aren't being cured,
submit a bug report.
--- UNLESS IT IS ONE OF THESE AFFLICTIONS: idiocy, blurred vision,
earthrot.
--- Earthrot was, unfortunately, overlooked as a herb affliction. Idiocy
and blurred vision, however, are not going to be cured by FirstAid as
their cure is not a regular curing herb.
That's all for now, hopefully we can have the salve and smoke
afflictions converted soon so that the whole system is up and ready to
make people's lives easier.
