Reworking of Damage Types and Bodyscan!

Addressed to: Everyone


As promised some time ago, mobs can now have resistances or weaknesses
to damage types. You can determine their damage types upon probing them.
Only a few mobs have resistances or weaknesses now but expect to see
more as time goes on.

Further, some guilds will receive updates to their skills to allow a
larger choice of damage types. So far, we have added the following:

-Druidiry receives Lightninbugs (Hartstone only) or wasps (Blacktalon
only)
-Mages receive a new skill called Tuning
-Moon Drawdown will allow a new spell, Moonfire
-Nightkiss Aura will allow a new spell, Nightgaze
-Transmology flay will do psychic damage against corporeal targets
(works the same as before against non-corporeal).

We've also added two new damage types! The excorable damage is the
energy of the void, sometimes associated with the soulless. The divinus
damage type is the energy of the divine, sometimes associated with the
Elder Gods. Divinus does extra damage against the undead and those
bonded with darkspirits. Excorable does slightly more damage against
everyone EXCEPT the undead and those bonded with darkspirits.

-Celestine Symbols now do divinus damage
-Nihilist Symbols now do excorable damage
-Radiance has been changed as electrical/divinus damage attack.
-Demonweb spell added to Nihilism.
-Harmonic void blasters will do excorable damage and harmonic scalpels
will do divinus damage.
-Transmology Butterfly has a chance of doing an extraordinarily powerful
attack of both excorable and divinus damage.

And, finally, we have a new skill in Discernment called BODYSCAN. This
will help you to keep track of your DMP and Buffs.

Enjoy!
