Classleads

We're pleased to bring you the first batch of classleads from the last round. Here are the details:
Aeonics
-------
* HINDSIGHT has had its duration reduced from ten seconds to six seconds.
Alchemy
-------
* LEAD now incurs a small equilibrium loss when used without a target (so you can't just add it to every alias now, similar to tentacle).
* LEAD now incurs a short balance knock to the target when it pulls them down.
Apostasy
--------
* SCORCH now removes reclamation vines in one cast if the reclamer is not in the local area. It takes two if this is the case, and three if the target is in room.
Chivalry
--------
* DUEL now works cross continent.
* CALL TO ARMS no longer rallies divinities to your cause, as honourable as it no doubt is.
* RALLY no longer may be performed while in dragon or elemental lord form.
Domination
----------
* COMMAND PYRADIUS now flips madness to recklessness instead of to hallucinations.
* COMMAND PYRADIUS no longer cures the healthleech when used in that way. The damage is now psychic instead of unblockable.
Excision
--------
* FERVOUR is no longer strippable.
* FLARE has had its cost reduced to 5% wrath.
* SCOUR has had its cost reduced to 5% wrath.
* The RETRIBUTION, FERVOUR, and DAWNHAND defences are now considered non-aggressive to raise.
Memorium
--------
* TRANSPOSE now resets any active epitaph chain when used.
* FISSURE now exposes your target when used with an epitaph with a length higher than three.
* SHIELD has had its formula reworked. The mitigation it offers is slightly higher across the board and more of the bonus is conveyed in the first four int points passed 12 (so you get more benefit going from 12-16, then the subsequent points convey less - but you come out the same or better than previously still).
Pestilence
----------
* WEARINESS now only impacts STING and INFEST from the skill.
Psionics
--------
* IMPRINT now takes a list argument to see where you have left your imprints lying around.
Shikudo
-------
* JINZUKU has been added to the GAITAL form.
Spirituality
------------
* JUDGE no longer requires a mace to be wielded, given the new theme of it.
Sublimation
-----------
* FLASHSTEP now incurs a short balance cost upon resolving successfully.
Weaponmastery
------------
* LUNGE, ENGAGE, and ARC now will factor armour/defences and such more sanely.
* UNDERCUT will now always break the limb if striking it when above ninety percent damage.
Weatherweaving
--------------
* (player targets only): WINDWHIP now does magical cutting damage and has had its damage increased. It bypasses SoA style bonuses natively.
Misc
----
* UNBLOCKABLE damage now bypasses resist alls. Particularly relevant for finishers such as disembowel or freeze pound, but there are some other cases as well. This is a fairly major change, so let me know if anything seems odd. In particular this is a fairly nontrivial buff to soulspears, but we'll let that play out to see how it looks.
Enjoy!
Penned by My hand on the 6th of Sarapin, in the year 915 AF.
