Syssin Updates, Part 1

Addressed to: Everyone
Since I promised they were out this week, I am releasing what I have
finished fully thus far. There will be another part to their updates,
but I'm running late.
- Illusions and a number of other illusionary abilities are now on their
very own balance.
- A new skill, Artifice, will allow subterfuge users to double up on the
above balance, effectively giving them twice as many illusions as the
rest of Aetolia.
- Hide is greatly changed for everyone. When hidden, you won't show up
in the room, on GROUP or on ENT, nor will you be able to target most
emotes at someone who is hidden.
- There is no need to secrete before spitting on a weapon.
- Bedazzle is moved to the illusion equilibrium.
- DISPEL (without a target) will get rid of lightwalls and globes of
fire.
- SLIT will deliver the next venom on the blade
- WIELD/UNWIELD/SECURE should be invisible when someone is cloaked.
- SHADOW has had its chance of succeding made slightly higher, though
not much.
- LIPREAD will now read the lips of those who speak in windy conditions.
- All the Syssin can now BITE ME.
- If you hadn't guessed, I'd been planning that last line for WEEKS.
- Okay, okay. Months.
- FLAY will now also remove shield and rebounding.
There is more coming in the way of new skills and bug fixes, but I
thought I'd announce these for now.
