Changes to Tarot and groupable objects

Greetings Sapience,

We have just finished uploading a handful of big changes to Tarot and
groupable objects.

All sigils, bombs and tarot cards are now groupable based on their
type/inscription. i.e. You can group 20 eye sigils but not 10 eye and 10
fist sigils. You can group 20 Hermit cards but not 10 Hermit and 10
Empress, etc.

Tarot decks have been significantly increased in size from 6 slots of
250 cards each to 10 slots of 2500 cards. Hopefully this should remove
the need for some people to carry around 500+ decks.

DECKLIST has received a facelift and the command CARDLIST <deck/deck#>
has been added to show you the contents of a specified deck, sorted by
slot.

IND has been upgraded to include support for the keywords GROUP and ALL.
Both IND and OUTD have also been upgraded so that you are able to
specify a particular deck to use (which can be either in your inventory
or on the ground). i.e. 'IND ALL FOOL deck12345' will attempt to put all
cards inscribed with the Fool into deck12345 only. 'IND GROUP FOOL
deck12345' will attempt to put the first group of Fool cards into
deck12345. Specifying IND 100 FOOL will still IND 100 cards regardless
of whether they are grouped or not. i.e. If you have a group of 50, a
group of 40, 10 individual cards and then another group of 20 cards
inscribed with Fool, "IND 100 FOOL" will IND the first two groups, the
10 individual cards and remove 10 cards from the last group of 20 Fools
and IND them.

There are, of course, a few exceptions with this change. Artifact tarot
cards, charged tarot cards, death tarot that have been rubbed and hermit
tarot that have been activated are not able to be combined into a group.
Bombs that have had their timer set can also not be combined into a
group. Anything that has a flame/fist sigil attached cannot be combined
into a group.

Inscribing/Charging/Activating/Rubbing a card that is in a group,
Attaching/Wielding a sigil that is in a group and setting the timer on a
bomb that is in a group, will all automatically remove it from the group
for you.

If you encounter any problems, please report the BUG with as much detail
as possible.
