Some have expressed official and unofficial concern that the
houses' influence vary widely in disconcerting ways. Being ever
alert to the tiniest needs of our most sensitive adventurers, we
have modified the manner in which influence is calculated in order
to take into account a longer period. The result is a reduction
in viewer queasiness - or so we hope!

- in other words - house influence is now represented as an
average of both last year and the current year combined,
which tends to slow the rate of change in HOUSE INFLUENCE.

Some cagey viridians have planned their escapes from their
class with uncanny timing. Yes, some have succeeded in
retaining the Viridian form long after having lost the ability
to regain it. A new wrinkle in the Weave puts a stop to this
pernicious practice by these pusillanimous prevaricating people!

- in short - if you are in viridian form when you quit class,
you lose it.

Some have proven over and over how much more blessed it is to
give than to receive. The group we now single out for special
honours is those who have found ways to give bombs. Lots of
bombs. And to do so in a very short time. They were wiley,
they were wise, these bomb-givers, as they gained blessing
after blessing! Yes, they found that giving ten bombs at once
was so painfully tedious when compared with giving a single
bomb ten times. And so we have decided to spread the tedium
around a bit, meaning that all giving of bombs, alone or in
groups, will take a bit more time than you might normally hope,
or expect! Then again, if it is indeed so much more blessed
to be giving than receiving, then surely this is but another
side benefit as we make sure you have plenty of time to
savour the experience.

- in short - give 1 bomb to x now has a rather short balance
associated with it.

Penetrating the mysteries of Gems of Transmutation! Oppressed
owners of these Gems have long laboured with this amazing
sorrow, that they never knew when they could use the darn
thing again! No more. Probe and see.

- in short - probing a gem of transmutation now tells you
about how much longer you'll have to wait to use it again.

Certain heraldic arms - the most prestigious, which are also
the simplest - are now more clearly correct in both ancient
and modern forms.

Leaderwho now respects bedrooms.
Hoisting has been revamped and should be much better now.
Many things that seemed to show up together, but shouldn't,
now don't.
