Some more behind-the-scenes work on spells. I've renamed a couple so they would fit the style of other spells:
  • "detect-invisible" has been renamed to "detect-invisibility" (just keep typing "c d-i")
  • "remove-disease" has been renamed to "cure-disease" (don't forget this one if you're nearly dead from disease and type "c remove-d"!)
  • "know-languages" has been renamed to "comprehend-languages"
  • "curepoison" has been renamed to "cure-poison" (so it matches with slow-poison)

Also there was a bug with camouflage - if you cast it on yourself, it worked, if you cast it on someone else, nothing happened (although you got a message saying it worked).

I've forgotten if comprehend-languages allows the target to speak all languages as well. If not, how about a similarly restricted spell, called, know-languages (haha), that allows one to do so? It would help to communicate to mobs/perms that only speak a certain language.

For instance, if a dwarven-only perm, a human player and a dwarven player were standing in the same room, only the dwarf would be able to naturally communicate with the dwarven-only perm. The human, with comprehend-languages, would be able to overhear and understand a conversation between the two dwarves. With comprehend-languages and know-languages, the human would be able to initiate conversation, and understand.

And all this time I thought camouflage/blending just sucked.

Comprehend-languages only lets you understand them, not speak them. A spell to let you speak them would be fun, but it'd probably call it "tongues", since that's what I'm familiar with from D&D.

So it'd be something like:
: c tongues
You cast a tongues spell on yourself.
: speak dwarven
You will now speak in dwarven.
: say Hi guys!
You say something in dwarven.
(unless you also have comprehend languages :P)
