As many of you have already noticed, there have been some changes to surges.

Previously, as a holdover from surges as they existed prior to leylines, they only impacted magick and demonic players, and the consideration was only "are you in antimagick affinity or not".

Now, you may be impacted by negative surges if you are in an area that is either affinity other than your own, and can receive positive surges if you are in an area with affinity matching yours.

We are also in the process of adding surge chances to skills within the Antimagick circle (as they were not subject to either positive nor negative surges in the past). Over the next week, we will be gradually identifying and adding surges to skills within the Antimagick professions that they would thematically fit.

Though we aren't able to give a specific timeline, future work with Leylines includes the following:
- Adding additional possible surge effects, both for positive and negative surges
- Toning down some of the existing negative surges
- Reevaluating the skills that cause surges for all players. They are currently (and as we add them to antimagick, will continue to be) based on skills that are thematically tied to their circles. Though this made sense when they were less common, modification may be required to make them more fair from a mechanical perspective.

As always, please BUG anything odd that is happening, file IDEAs if you have them, and feel free to send feedback to eoghan@imperian.com
