It seems cure blindness does not cure flash blindness (a log snippet below). I thought it would, or is this by design?

In case there's only a chance of curing it, it's lacking an echo to that effect ("You failed to remove the flash", or some such; similar to e.g. cure disease):


Physical effect: 'flash' modifies hit roll by -4 for 1 hours.

You can't see a thing!

You can only cure the 'blindness' effect that way.
