Following the release of Bloodborn and the pending release of ?????, I have some general mage updates to announce:

- Characters who possess either the Ascendril or Sciomancer classes can now CHIP CRYSTAL in the Fractal Bloom to obtain a crystal chunk. These can be RAISEd at the Mournhold Vortex (v46363) for Ascendril or the Revenant's Roost (v69118) for Sciomancers to obtain a focus without requiring guild membership.

- The Mage mirrors will gain a method to obtain a focus without guild membership shortly after both are released.

- All shaderot_* afflictions are now renamed to rot_*, with different diagnose/proc messages. The mirror of Sciomancer will also have different delivery/proc messages for those afflictions too.

- The sagacity defence is now renamed to empowered_moon.

- Glyphs and runes are interchangeable mechanically but have unique messages and displays for each of the mirrors to better reflect their themes.

Penned by my hand on Falsday, the 19th of Lanosian, in the year 508 MA.
