Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

FR: Make Yara's Unraveling apply to all magical effects

... and ONLY Magical effects, that is, effects caused in all situations directly by magic, by natural or unnatural sources.

The spell's a lot of fun to use, and as a matter of fact VERY useful.

Yes, I know it's a lot of case checking, but the flavor of the spell and its consistency fall apart when you notice that you can Unravel Mephitic cloud confusion, but not Lom's Tornado or Battlecry Might.

It should apply to:

* Magical presences: Singularity, OOD, Fulminant prism and Rakshasa illusions, Passages of Golubria, (Summons? N.b. it works on 1s summoned by SGD, because they're Charmed)

* Magical bonus statuses: Tornado, Disjunction, Silence, Magical might (single target, AMable - Convoker might is an example), Haste

* Magical malus statuses: Slow, confused (& mephcloud confuse should be separated from normal confuse for this purpose), Corona, Frenzied (& needle frenzy should be separated from Discord frenzy for this purpose)

Etc.

No. Don't separate some sources of confuse from others. That requires MORE information on the player and could easily be confusing.
I'm beginning to feel like a Cat God! Felid streaks: {FeVM^Sif Muna, FeWn^Dithmenos, FeAr^Pakellas}, {FeEE^Ashenzari, FeEn^Gozag, FeNe^Sif Muna, FeAE^Vehumet...(ongoing)}

I think this spell should apply to all status effects like does purple draconian breath, and deal less damage as a balance to that

Still. This spell should consistently apply to all statuses visible during targeting that are granted by magic or prayers or magical items.
