Please do something with manacles and spellcasters.

Like, they don't stop spellcasting. Or, they stop spellcasting to the same degree Immolation does. Or, they can't be used unless the Tribunal is in PK. Or, they don't stop spellcasting unless the Tribunal is in PK. Any one of these tweaks would be fine.

I realize that the IMMs seem to think the players are a bunch of idiots and that mages have an incredibly easy time dealing with manacles while raiding Tribunal.. but honestly, look at the Outlander cabal for the past several months. It's a basic lesson in economic incentives. There hasn't been a single mage. I'm telling you, that's directly related to the fact that manacles so completely neutralizes them against the main cabal Outlander is warring with. Anyway, you said only one Christmas wish, but here's 1.0001: If you honestly believe that manacles is just fine and dandy given the Tribunal has constant cabal warfare, then my 1.0001 wish is for one of the power-PK IMMs (can be you, Sebeok, or Nepenthe) to roll up an invoker and show us all how it's done. I'd really like to be able to eat my words on this :P

Thanks and Merry Christmas.
