tome (2.3.11-ah-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Modified the install paths to deploy to the FHS compliant
    /usr/games/tome and /var/games/tome, as we have always done
  * This is a major change, and includes theming. Some of the options have
    changed. Because of this, the manual page has been removed; there is a
    command line help  option and in game help until the manual page is
    rewritten.

+#####GMelkor Bauglir's Magic
+Worshipping Melkor Bauglir gives the adventurer access to a set of special
+spells that come directly from the hands of Melkor. These spells use your piety
+to cast rather than your spellpoints, and the level of spells that Melkor will 
+permit you to use is determined by your Prayer skill - how skillful you are
+in asking for his help without offending him!
+
+There is a special book called the "Corrupted Tome of Melkor" which 
+contains instructions for the procedure for each of the prayers Melkor will
+grant. There are three prayers all told, which are:
+1. [[[[[BCurse] (Level 1)
+   It curses a monster, reducing its melee power
+   At level 5 it can be auto-casted (with no piety cost) while fighting
+   if your piety is over 5000.
+   At level 15 it also reduces armor
+   At level 25 it also reduces speed
+   At level 35 it also reduces max life (but it is never fatal)
+2. [[[[[BCorpse Explosion] (Level 10)
+   It makes corpses in an area around you explode for a percent of their hit
+   points as damage
+3. [[[[[BMind Steal] (Level 20)
+   It allows your spirit to temporarily leave your own body, which will
+   be vulnerable, to control one of your enemies body
+   
+Each of these spells can be increased in level both by improving your Prayer
+skill, and by improving your Spell-power skill.
+
+In addition to his specific magic, Melkor will also assist with your ability to
+use some magic from the "standard" schools, in relation to how skilled you 
+are at Prayer. This school is as follows:
+    *****m_mind.txt*0[Mind School] at 1/3 the Prayer skill level.
+    
+Melkor also grants all of his followers access to the *****m_udun.txt*0[Udun] school of magic,
+but only powerful mages are able to cast all of its spells.
+
+The spells from these schools are all cast using your normal spellpoints.
