110124 Zombie skill-gain

Skill-gain when fighting summoned Zombies is now lower since people suspected exploits. Skill-gain shouldn't need to be 0 since it has summoning cost but it shouldn't be safe skill-gain either.

You can now cast no-locate on rings, bracelets and necklaces. This is a first jewelry enchantment and we may get a few more. The chance that it will hide you against a Locate Soul is (ql+power)/2 %. The enchantment slowly gets worn out when a locate soul is cast.
You will now see how many more items your personal merchant may put up for sale in the management windows.
No-locate cast on creatures now stays 3 times longer as well. Locate Soul was unchanged and never increased favor cost. The time to cast was increased instead but that was reverted.

The locate player spell cost was increased to 20 favor because it made it too cheap to keep track of invaders
Creature enchantments and healing now works on allies like they should

Vulnerable actions such as casting and healing are more often interrupted by being hit now
A speed bug with web armor was fixed
Frantic charge now updates movement properly
Using key-bind to repair through walls was fixed
Area spells still are too dominant on the battle field so favor cost was increased to 30
Fire Pillar no longer targets creatures. Instead Fire Heart received a buff. The corresponding Vynora spell is Shard of Ice which is a bit slower but with more damage.
Willow-spine should work better now
Being overheated invalidates your link just as if you are out of range
Champions no longer receive Faith bonus in their own territory

The Fo spell Charm Animal is now available, and the Magranon spell Frantic Charge is now available.
Ward should have more effect. Creatures should become more careful overall.
Web Armour didn't have the slow down effect it was supposed to which was fixed.
Zombie infestation now creates more powerful zombies.
Scorn of Libila casting time was reduced to 15 (from 20) and favor cost to 40 (from 50)
Signs, lamps, banners and flags will be maintained by existing spirit guards in villages now

We are going to test a form of cool-down where you get overheated if you use a lot of favor in a short time. The reason behind the solution is that linking was deemed to be a bit too powerful sometimes. If this initial code is too much we'll have to ease it up but we need real fight situations to test it on.
Area spells now cost 20 favor instead of 10. Pain rain cost was reduced to 40 since the new favor cool-down should make it harder to create death zones with it now.
A minor tweak: you should now be able to dig 1 deeper than you can flatten.

The lag that occurred after a Fire-pillar spell was cast has been remedied
A situation where the server froze like last Friday because of a chase-case with Tweets has also been sorted
