New page

==="Relatively harmless"===

The "History" section should be revised - after all, we don't want newbies misinterpreting the statement "relatively harmless glow from Sticky Flame" and thinking that Sticky Flame is useless (player spell) or harmless (monster spell)!

	As far as I can tell, contam "points" - being 1000x smaller than what's stated in the coded (see {{source ref\|0.29.0\|player.cc\|3959}}, etc.) - originate from the wiki. So why keep it? Right now I added some out of place warnings to any place that cites contam. Displaying it as 5 instead of 5000 does help readability, and inertia is a strong force.

		+	: I agree that it's better to use numbers from the source code than use our own scale, which requires scary warnings on relevant pages. Also, speaking about readability, the current "-0.025 per turn instead of -0.075" and "Disjunction had .75 - .799 contamination on cast" will be more readable if we switch to the proper numbers.
