* There is now a spectator's gallery where the timid can watch games.

Let the killing begin!

Celestial anchor has been tweaked and should now be effective against all forms of movement. To balance this, it has been made harder, and should in addition no longer have the extreme durations it had before.

The guilds domain has implemented some colourful and not so colourful ideas:

* Ink can now be added to the stove at Wee Flaudia's to make coloured candles.

* Witches' broomsticks are now able to be painted with paint and brushes available from house decoration shops (the paint used needs to be newly purchased to have the colour set properly).

For those of you in the service industry, there is now a new autoaccept option that will allow you to automatically accept just money. Check under 'options auto give'. Credit to Zexium for the idea report.

The researchers in the Unseen University labs are proud to unveil their latest creation - the Paint Stained Wand.

Available exclusively (for now) at Hobliet the Unnecessary's Linear Tools in the Magic Emporium in Ankh-Morpork.
