Ok, just did a quick log to check out the last patch.

- Alliance. Try illus human + alliance on a vendor (Freeport) (I play
Erudite) Price did not go down. . Tried the same on the Erudite gemseller
in EC, same result. So this is obviously not this spell's use. Still at it,
I have other ideas to test.

- Poison. Meditating is NOT sitting. I wish someone told me that before.
Just figured it out after I saw the poison effect wore off and watched the
hp grows.

- Jewelry. Jewel's prices are related to the level of one's skill. At
jewelry 30 I sold rose quartz wedding ring at 133sp (+cp), made 31 and
price went up 152 (+cp). Almost no loss :P. I noticed something similar
earlier (I worked lvl 9-13 on my own before buying the rest of the lvls
from a teacher). So maybe jewelry is not so bugged in the first place. If
anyone else can confirm/infirm this I would appreciate (test sales before
and after a 10th is reached)
