The latest batch of affliction updates has been released! Pox, vomiting,
rigormortis, and sickening have all been converted to the Overhaul
affliction system as internal afflictions, cured by purity dust.
Further, vomiting has replaced vomiting blood, pox has replaced
sunallergy, and sickening has (mostly) replaced crotamine poisoning.

Aside from the affliction updates, some changes to the way these
afflictions work have been made:

o Vomiting and vomiting blood have had their effects merged some -
vomiting is now periodic damage and equilibrium loss, with a chance to
trigger on balance or equilibrium usage as well. Note that vomiting
procing from equilibrium loss will not cause further equilibrium loss.

o Sickening is now a general affliction instead of a geomancer-specific
affliction, and its effect is a level 1 sip malus for health, mana, and
bromides potions. Its affmessages and diagnose lines have been updates
as well, see AFFS INFO SICKENING.

o While sickening has replaced crotamine poisoning in the general case,
Nekotai FinalSting will continue to afflict with advanced crotamine
poisoning, pending upcoming envoy reports.

o The Geomancy Sickening ability will now fire at the same rate as other
meld powers, due to the ability to directly cure its affliction.
