Disambiguation
Sometimes soul commands may clash with other game commmands. If you're having a problem with this any soul can be preceded by the word 'soul'.
Correspondingly, if you find yourself wanting to use a game command that is also a soul, and the soul insists on taking precedence, you can prepend the command line with 'nosoul' to force it to use the game command only.
Colours
You can turn on and off the display of colours in souls directed at you using the command 'options output usercolour'. This allows you to choose if you wish to receive coloured souls or not. You can also set the colour of the souls you receive using 'options colour soul'.
Examples
> options colour soul = yellow
Set option colour soul to [yellow].
> options output usercolour = on
Set option output usercolour to on.
