Hi everybody!
Have I got a treat for you! But, um, it isn't this release. I mean, this one is great and all, but that's totally not what I'm talking about. You wanna know what it is? Too bad! You're gonna have to wait. For a little bit. Today we're putting some fire onto 413! And because everything isn't ALWAYS about lores, we'll add some Mana Control in there too.
== MECHANICS ==
Elemental Saturation now reduces the target's TD for warding the initial cast by (Caster's Elemental Mana Control Ranks, Seed 1). In addition, the persistent TD modifier applied is now increased by (Elemental Lore, Fire Ranks, Seed 5).

Good stuff. I hope whatever 409 gets is good too, maybe with some synergy with 415.

Konacon you joker, must we ask every time? Is it rank or skill on the EL:F?
This spell desperately needed a push-down, definitely a good change there. Good job not making that part lore-dependent.
If the EL:F part is skill, that looks pretty good. If it's ranks, might be a little soft, but still doesn't hurt.
I didn't even start GemStone until 1993, so I guarantee the Forums are newer than that. :)
Since we didn't move to the web until 1997, I guarantee that the Forums are newer than that, too.
Since when we did move, they were Java/plain-text based, there was the first re-write.
And there was at least one, and I'm thinking 2, re-organizations of the Boards... at least one of which came with a re-write.
.
So I'm going with "mid-2000's at the earliest", and possibly later than that.
Now that Andy's not with Simutronics, we can't get him to weigh in, though.

Maybe, but post editing features are even older than 1992!
