Envoy Updates

Addressed to: Everyone
We are trying out a new system of envoy reports wherein the envoys give 
us monthly mini-reports on the top combat balance issues. This does not 
replace the big updates that we do a couple of times a year, but rather 
is meant to allow us the opportunity to redress the major balance that  
the envoys have pointed out. Here is the first batch of updates that    
your envoys have selected.                                              
+Shadowdance Flight can no longer be used while off equilibrium.
+Shadowdance Flight and tumble cannot be done while impaled or          
crucified.                                                              
+Racial effects for tumbling, both positive and negative, have been     
slightly reduced.                                                       
+The ability to invest powers in demons and angels is now queued so the 
entities will cause afflictions in the order invested.                  
+Necromancy Leech and Night Succumb drain mana with less reliance on    
percentage of mana. Also, Night Succumb has a minimum amount of mana    
that it drains regardless of the skill level the target has in Magic.   
+Night Summon Cauldron takes less time.
+Sprint-type skills use the "don't be hasty" walking balance instead of 
normal balance.                                                         
+The Allhex ability has been removed and Hexaura ability moved to       
Transcendent. You can now use whammy and doublewhammy with hexes within 
your aura. Hexes should also follow you if you change elevation.        
+A new crow skill has been added that allows movement of one's nest.
+You can now burrow upwards in dreamform. (This wasn't part of the mini
report; rather, it is the solution to prevent a bug that some innovative        
dreamweaver discovered.)                                                
There may be one or two more mini report changes coming but this        
represents the bulk of them. Note that this does not cover some major   
warrior changes that will also be done that was a result of the special 
warrior summit that Roark conducted.
