Subject:  OOC_FIX

Okay gang, I think having a spell named ooc_fix means that we have a bad magic system.  We
 shouldn't ever make the player have to fix themselves, they shouldn't even break.  Even you
 Treant. ;)  On [Public] we often joke about tracebacks and things like that, but personally,
 tracebacks and spells like OOC_FIX mean nothing more than someone's not coding properly.  Now,
 Cujo will probably read this note eventually, so I want to clear the air here and now.  Cujo has
 done an OUTSTANDING job with magic and in NO WAY am I insulting him or his work.  Tracebacks are a
 normal process of debugging, however they DO need to be ELIMINATED.  All this being said, I am
 trying to eliminate OOC_Fix.  I need help from all of you out there.  If you use OOC_Fix, please
 let me know.  I need to know what spell you were casting and what you were casting it on.  Treant,
 if you cast restore on garbage I'll beat you.  However if it does cause you to use OOC_Fix let me
 know.  I'm trying to track down the break down in the spell system.  Apparently no one has had the
 time to do this yet.  Thanks guys, I appreciate it.
