Hello, Imperian,

Here's a brief list of some of the small code changes made in the last few days:

Critical
- Fixed a bug that allowed mortals to delete issues, which was never intended. Note that some issues were inadvertantly cleared when this bug was discovered. If this happened to you, please re-file your issue. Message me if you need me to find the text of the issue for you.

General
- Idea totally not stolen from Lusternia - items that decay even if placed in circumstances where they wouldn't (such as on a shelf in a stockroom) will now say so when probed, denoting This item will decay even if placed in a stockroom.
- Fixed grammar in descriptions for non-binary folks. It will now say "They are a <statpack race>" instead of "They is"
- Made underyling code changes to qhonors messages to allow for proper grammar for non-binary. Unfortunately, the individual messages also need to be changed, which I'll get to over the next few days, a little at a time. There are a lot of them.
- Fixed a typo that was introduced when the monument raiding objective was added. Guards will no longer refer to the monument being stolen when they mean the statue.
- It's no longer possible to create self-referential aliases

Artifacts
- Idea #66603 implemented - ATTACK/KILL/FIGHT will now use scepter point if one is equipped.
- Fixed a bug that allowed someone to GOGGLES CREATE twice, effectively wasting a gem and forming a second pair of goggles.
- Fixed a bug causing the bag of fertilizer (and associated power) from impacting planted seeds.

Aspects
- idea #66541 implemented - Aspects can now speak the elemental language corresponding to their element.
- Players can no longer follow to the Moonforge.
- It's once again possible to ASSUME ASPECT (which means newly minted aspects can actually use their abilities)
- It is once again possible to LIBERATE ASPECT

Skills
- Classlead 618 - You can now DOUSE <target> to remove their stink (if you have a bucket of water and soap)


That's all that's worth mentioning for now. More to come soon!
