Domination

   aura affliction.

Forging
==========================
 - [1989] Added a new forgable weapon: Stiletto.
 - [1995] You can now check FORGING APPRENCESHIP to see what you have
   specialised in.
Hypnosis
==========================
 - [2038] I've rescripted a large portion of Hypnosis as it had a lot
   of old code no longer referenced within it, you can find the
   changes below:
   * You can now only suggest one affliction at any time.
   * Normalized all suggestion equilibrium costs to 2 seconds of
     equilibrium.
   * Removed the need to hypnotise the target when someone else has
     them in a suggestable state.
   * You can now re-hypnotise a sealed target, allowing you to add
     further suggestions.
   * Cleanse requires your target to be in a suggestable state.
   * Upped the mana and willpower costs on the actions of hypnotising.
   * Berserk for hypnosis renamed to berserking.
   * Belonephobia dropped from hypnosis as it is depreciated.
   * Added Analyse and Cleanse as performable actions in phase as long
     as you know Ethergaze.
   * Seal now requires a value between 3 and 60 seconds.
   * Pacifism no longer fades on its own after 2-5 minutes.
   * We'll deal with the Syssin charm a little bit down the track, so
     make sure you hold onto them for now.
Subterfuge
==========================
- [1989] The stiletto can now be used in place of a dirk. This is purely
   cosmetic.
 - [2038] Illusion balance has now been removed. Abilities that cost
   illusion balance now consume equilibrium when used.
 - [2038] Shroud and ghost now last longer when cast on yourself, and
   can be refreshed by recasting.
Woodlore

 - [2006] Swapped dizziness to self-pity for the cockatrice.
 - [2006] Swapped vertigo to berserking when using Daunt with the
   cockatrice.
Miscellaneous
==========================
 - [1998] Fixed some bugs not marking some forest environments as a
   forest for the purpose of skills.
 - [2004] Peace is now classed as a mental affliction. Look at HELP
   TYPES for its placement in the tree.

   from 50%.
