Repost of this, since our last few blog posts have gone missing.

There is now a new option from the 'creating' menu called 'creator manuals'. In here you will find the PDF text of four booklets on being a creator. Together, they comprise around 170,000 words, and as such you should make yourself a delicious cup of tea before cracking them open.

Crystal balls are making a triumphant return to the game, albeit with numerous changes! For one, there are different skill checks, for another there are more skill checks, and for another still they now get distorted by high background magic. You can also smash them for Fun and Profit and access to Thaum Crystals.

Priest NPCs will no longer keep fumbled weapons unto thee ende of dayes. They will instead drop your precious weapons after a couple of minutes.
