Following the changes to Voice, the Artistry sketches have just received a substantial rework. The specifics are as follows:

- Mastery has been renamed to Goldink

- Mediumsketch, Highsketch, Playersketch removed

- You can now only create sketches of mobiles and of magick-circle professions, each of which now has a separate AB help

- Sketches no longer have any passive attacks - they need to be ordered to use their abilities, on a separate balance

- SKETCHLINK <ability> <target> [optional parameters] is the sketch usage syntax - check the AB helps for each sketch type for specifics

- Sketches are regular mobiles now, which means that they can be attacked and intimidated

- The abilities of each type of sketches are described in the relevant AB helps

- Each sketch can attack 50 times before fading

- The Truesilver Quill artifact has been reworked, it now allows you to create sketches with 100 attacks

- The Author specialisation makes all sketch attacks faster by 20%

- Sketching no longer needs to be repeated multiple times - you get a full sketch right away. Sketching also no longer does damage.

- Sketches can be filled with up to three inks now

- Ink effects have been reworked - check the AB helps for details

- Tearing a sketch now immediately turns it into a mobile that follows you around - sketches are no longer tossed

- You can now TEAR <profession> FROM SKETCHBOOK to tear the first available sketch with a particular profession (TEAR DRUID FROM SKETCHBOOK, for example)

- You can have up to three active sketches now

- Sketches no longer fade on their own accord - you keep them until all their attacks have been used up

- Sketches can now be returned back to the sketchbook - INSERT <sketch> INTO <sketchbook>

- You can use CALL SKETCHES to move your sketches back to you

In other news, the conditions for instant Kantae (Voice) have been changed - it now requires that all three notes are fully resonating, instead of two.

As always, if there are any problems with these additions, please report them in the usual way.
