some monk changes

Made the follow changes to monks, one of which concerns everybody who
fights monks. I'll list that change first.

1. Changed the way mind lock times and chance-to-break are done. It's
now basically a base time to lock, that is modified by comparing your
current mana with the mana of the person locking you, and also by
comparing your Philosophy level to the monk's Telepathy level. Further,
every 15 seconds, your mind will automatically try to detect locks. If
it detects one, it will throw the lock out. The chance of that happening
is based on a combination of comparing current mana levels, and
Philosophy vs. Telepathy. Note that what is kind of interesting about
this is that level comes into play in terms of locks now, because the
higher your level, the higher your mana can be.

So basically: Locks should be easier to get now, but easier to break
without leaving the area too.

2. Reduced kai trance willpower loss.
3. Reduced willpower loss for blocks some.
4. Fixed bodyblock.
5. Fixed pinch block so that it knocks the person off his/her feet.
6. Reduced mana loss for telepathy telesense (it was buggy, not just
mis-designed, actually).
7. Increased mana loss for vision telesense.
8. Mind isolate now blocks messages.
9. Mind Pacify now works without a lock.
10. Mind radiance eq time reduced by 1/3.
11. Increased split mind regen.

Enjoy!
