Overhaul News Post #26

Update to Affliction Updates

Yesterday morning, as I was running through some last-minute checks
before loading up the overhaul adjustments, I stumbled upon a design
issue with paralysis that was less than desirable. To address this
issue, the following change will be made to the affliction:

Paralysis will no longer be a spiritual affliction, but instead an
internal affliction. Internal afflictions will be cured by eating purity
dust wafers. As this will be the first-released internal cure, I'll
share the relevant balance recovery line below:

You may eat another purity dust wafer.

Aside from the recategorization above, we'll be adding another change to
paralysis. The affliction will be auto-cured after a set time, 30
seconds to start (with the potential for this to be adjusted later if
necessary) from the most recent incident of being afflicted.

These changes will be introduced tomorrow along with the aeon and
healthleech conversions.

Additionally, because the cure for paralysis is on a slight delay, the
following line will be displayed when eating purity dust starts the
paralysis cure timer:

You feel a faint stirring in your paralysed muscles.
