A wide path of gray stones, it cuts through the red sands of the
desert, and splits it. A deep gray line thrusts into the chaos of the
reds and yellows that surround you to the east and west. Made from
large gray stones, worn smooth over time and by many feet. You are
amazed at how little damage there is to it. To the east a smaller
path, that looks like a crude copy of this great road trails off into
the desert.

Something strange is going on, I am unsure if this is intentional or not, but it sure is weird.

When you have something like shocking touch up, it takes your skill in shocking touch into account, thereby drastically reducing your damage output because your "weapon skill" sucks. I'm not quite sure how I'd even fix it (but I suspect it'd be a convoluted hack). My simple answer for now I take straight from Steve Jobs..."Don't do that"
