Lore
Lore Updates:

• Medical Science has been changed to Medical Training with the following changes added:
  -Since it is now a Talent Prof, Medical Training has an upper limit of 10 points.
  -Specific explanations of what the 5 and 10 point investment for Medical Training does have been added.
  -Light Mend 1 & 2 have been added as Mundane Variants for 5 and 10 point investment for Medical Training, with limitations and adjustments according to what is reasonable for Mundane applications.
  -No changes to Curing Knowledge, still costs 10 points, but now we think it should be more appealing, and easier, to reach 10 points in Medical Training.

• Rebuilt the Elven temple, but surprise surprise, it’s not a single temple, and there’s shrines to all the gods sprinkled over the Altalar district(s) including the new one not yet finished. And also all unwritten gods, except Calvannis because he’s an Ailor and Sinavaal because she belongs in a Unionist Cathedral.
• If your character has a Blood Mimic made via Servile Collar 2 the mimic must have the exact name of the character it is copied off of used in /nick, as otherwise we consider that it obfuscates who the clone is of too much.
• Addendum: If you want to play the characters at the same time, and nick lock is stopping you, (Mimic) Or M-Name works as well.
• The PR team wants to hear your opinions about a potential Massivecraft podcast! Let us know what you think by answering this poll and telling us what you want to see! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1vP…ftoA1bC0zQHPf8ns/viewform?edit_requested=true
