Cursed Scroll of Ailment

Unlike all other cursed scrolls, the Cursed Scroll of Ailment can be targeted against other creatures. Most of the effects still target the caster, but a few (like the biggie, kill target) can affect other creatures.

And have the string that says "your friend has been cursed with death." Ages ago, you saw this, and weighed it with the fact that the scroll never appears in-game, and said "not a bug."

Wow. Even by my standards this is a wildly stupid. I had been browsing through the scrolls tracking a different bug, noticed it in passing, and knocked out some code. Looks like I need to remember to use the search function, too.

 

So, uh, nevermind, no changes here.
