First batch of classleads from the small classlead round.

Here are the first batch of classleads from the scoped classlead round:

Bladedance
----------
* Slight increase to bladedance attack damage across the board.
* CRESCENDO is no longer cureable via passives or random affliction cures (tree etc).
* PUNCTUATE no longer advances your footwork when used.
* DEATHFROMBELOW has had its damage increased, now gives a blackout, and scales with dex like other bladedance attacks.


Charnel
-------
* ETERNITY now disperses magical flood. True watery rooms still prevent it.

Composition
-----------
* BHAJAN FINALE focus knock has been extended and now gives some additional afflictions. See the abfile for specifics.

Dragoncraft
-----------
* DIMINISHED now applies to DRAGONHEAL.
* DRAGONHEAL now correctly unmasks its blocker afflictions when they stop its use.

Elementalism
-----------
* SUPPRESSION has been deleted.
* DEHYDRATE now behaves as the abfile describes.

Sagas
-----
* VERTANI now bypasses the indoors check if you are in an adjacent room to the target.
* The OURANIA talisman now applies to VERTANI in all cases.
* ENDBRINGER now resolves faster against a target with more than a single stack of the CRESCENDO afflictions. The more stacks, the faster the resolution.

Tekura
------
* The duration on SCRAMBLED BRAINS given by SLAM has been reduced. Unusually, this nerf is in fact a buff and should make the throw much more useful now.

Woe
---
* SLITH no longer has an eq cost.
* SLITH now resolves faster against a target with more than a single stack of the CRESCENDO afflictions. The more stacks, the faster the resolution.


Weaponmastery
------------
* (Dual Blunt): FUROR now does the relevant checks before the whirl combo, not after the attacks start landing.
* (Dual Blunt): ASSAULT TORSO no longer breaks the torso. It now does two fractures against no torso break, three against mild internal trauma, and four against serious internal trauma.
* (Sword and Shield): SMASH HIGH now gives the scrambled brains affliction instead of a focus knock.

Misc
----
* The SCRAMBLED BRAINS affliction has been given additional functionality. AFFLICTION SHOW SCRAMBLEDBRAINS for details, but essentially it delays the affliction cure of focus mind to shortly before you'd regain focus balance. This does scale with focus balance extenders or similar, and affects that fire off of focus are also delayed (for example, guilt will afflict when the affliction is cured, not when the focus takes place).

Enjoy!
