Deck of Many Things: Emperor

[CamDawg]

BD's fixes to the Emperor card from the Deck of Many Things is almost legitimate. The durations on the charm immunity effect and the delayed play sound effect were wrong, but BD changes the duplicate chram immunity effect to a panic immunity effect.

 

2) The Charm protection resouce (with the 0 second duration) was duplicated. I made the second one into a protection against Horror/Fear, as any Mind Shield should provide, with the corrected seven-day duration.

 

This seems to be a spurious change--the spell includes prevention of four icons and an animation, none of which are fear-related. I've included the duration fixes, left in the dupicate charm immunity (it's not hurting anything), and left out the panic immunity change.
