Hello, Imperian!

I'm writing today to post a roll-up of some recent changes and code fixes. As usual, these have been mentioned offhand in the #small-updates channel on Discord (HELP DISCORD), and now that there are several of them, they're being rolled up into a post.

First, Aspect related things:
- The Moonforge should no longer act as a forge for smithing etc
- It is no longer for aspects of Aryana, Sukhder, or Moradeim to CONTROL MONOLITH. You need to choose one of the new Aspect types.
- Aspect enter/exit messages will only be used if the person has chosen a new aspect type
- Aspect damage adjustments (both given and received) should now be properly applied on elemental planes and based on elemental damage types.
- Monolith loss due to Aspect inactivity now occurs daily, based on a running average of online time.
- This is three changes in one:
- Increases the activity you need by 1/3
- Means that you can create a buffer more than a week in advance if you absolutely need to (by padding your daily average)
- Means that overall monoliths won't be held by inactive players as much
- Since other Aspects having monoliths can no longer help you in the new system, the output of ASPECTS and MONOLITHS will only show you how many monoliths of your Aspect you feel, not of others.
- There will now be an occasional room-wide ambient message for aspects, flavored based on the element they've chosen.

In addition, we're looking at the numbers behind Spirit, and are likely going to make adjustments. For now, we've disabled the ability to convert lessons to Spirit but will be re-enabling it soon.



Now for some other non-Aspect things
- The various sizes of vorpal shard can now be upgraded once again.
- Classlead #928 Implemented -- Sentries only can be called within 10 rooms of a caravan
- New verb: sss(core) - Even shorter version of ss(core).
- It's no longer possible for monument defacement to spread into sewers (and all sewer rooms have been cleared of defacement)
- Fixed a bug causing bard waymarks to no longer work. This required some changes to cross-plane travel code, but should be transparent to you.
- There's now a Discord widget on the Imperian website (along with the other social widgets near the bottom of the page)

We've also approved and rejected a few of the Classleads in queue.

Now back to your regularly scheduled playtime.
