The target number of points was _shattered_ by mortal involvement. In addition
to the prizes you can buy with your points, the following upgrade is now
applied to the game, permanently:

Quality of held-slot armours now improves the "accuracy" of many combat
spells.

By "accuracy" let me explain. Many spells, such as blasting and healing
spells, roll dice to calculate the effects. In this context, "accuracy" means
that, if you roll below average, some spells will now look at your held-slot
armours and check their quality. The higher their quality, the greater the
chance you can roll again and take the _higher_ roll. There is 0% chance this
makes any spell do worse.

Of course, some spells hit maximum heal/damage and re-rolling doesn't change
that maximum. The results will vary based on a bunch of things. Also, "below
average" is contextual. Higher-stat casters have a different average than
lower-stat casters.

Weapons are NOT held-slot armours. Hybrids will have to choose which is more
important, melee/skill damage, or spell effects. No double dipping. I
understand priests value +hit for their harm spells, meaning, they already
have a benefit from wielding weapons when casting, so they have a choice to
make, too.

Congratulations BatMUD for coming together to unlock this change to combat
spells. You earned it.
