We've spent the past few weeks really focussing on Alchemist combat, in efforts to make the entire experience a little more enjoyable and remove some of the more tedious elements. The details of the changes are as follows:

Physiology:
-----------
* The TEMPER FLUID mechanic has been removed, Alchemists will now directly temper specific humours. Each humour will reach its maximum potency after ten tempers.
* TRUEWRACK has been reworked to require minimum levels of humour tempering before being able to access certain afflictions.
* TEMPERing a humour will now have differing effects based on any persistent wracked afflictions.
* TEMPER balance cost has been decreased.
* INUNDATE has been significantly reworked, it will now remove all fluids and bestow an effect based on the level of the humour.
* Ginger will now cure one level of a tempered humour.
* EVALUATE now accepts the HUMOURS argument, which will allow you to see the humour levels at no balance or equilibrium cost.
* Homunculus with administered mercury has been reworked to no longer give passive fluid gain, instead affecting the victims ability to effectively eat herbs and minerals.
* Alchemists can now touch shield while off-balance from TEMPERing.

Alchemy:
--------
* COPPER has had it's equilibrium cost slightly increased. It will now also be further increased if you're off temper balance.
