Light grey Contam makes player glow?

So there's a new contamination level added to trunk, a middle ground between dark grey and yellow Contam. It's nice to have more information in the UI, but the side effect is that new level already gives glow to player. This means that if you cast or evoke Invisibility from 0 contamination, you won'...

Re: Idea: Make charms tactical rather than strategic

The cool guy above is right, you know. Recasting spells every few turns will be really annoying. You can try to counter it by e.g. putting charms on cooldown related to fighting as opposed to turn count (similar to drain) so players can't wait it out like they can with the current Haste.

Use giant clubs as soon as you hit 8 in Maces & Flails, they're that much better. The +5 AC on your flail doesn't matter.

Another tip is to use giant clubs instead of giant spiked clubs until you have about 21-22 in M&F; the difference in weapon delay is significant.
