- Lampposts and firelamps no longer accept fire crystals and can no longer be directly charged. Instead, you should charge a firebulb (which does not emit much light on its own, we know how you people work) and swap out the one in the lamppost or firelamp. This means they can be swapped out by anyone even while nailed down (and cannot be swapped for a bulb of lesser charge, just like cairn batteries, so no one can steal your bulbs), and you can charge all the bulbs at once from anywhere rather than needing to spend all your time at the light sources you're charging. Firebulbs are also now used instead of fire crystals in the crafting of these items.
- Existing shattered lampposts and firelamps have been deleted as they can no longer be repaired.
- String lights are still available as a directly charged, low-tech fire crystal-based light source for economies that don't have artificers but don't want to use candles.
- We will no longer be offering skill refunds to characters now that there is a built-in in-character way to refund your own skill points. We will still offer restats for the time being, but if you want to refund skills, you'll have to pay an artificer.
- Adjusted logic for doors being blocked by players to be more restrictive.
- Players will now try to find an adjacent location if they're moved to somewhere that would be blocked.
- Spell resistance now applies to Orange Magic backfires, and the Spell Resistance skill now has a Mind cost scaling with the charge of the crystal that you must be able to pay to receive its benefits.
