Special Report #1231
Skillset: Geochemantics Skill: Ferrous
 Org: Geomancers Status: Completed Jun 2013
Furies' Decision:
Solution 2.
Problem: Geochemantic fumes suffer from a lack of synergy. They currently cause
three minor afflictions (vomiting, dizziness, pox) with four different cure
types between them. This report aims to increase synergy by focusing on salve
cures, shifting the ferrous affliction (vomiting) to a salve-only affliction.
All of the solutions propose a melancholic-chest only cure. All affliction
changes should be extended to relevant reactions (metalstorm, taintbomb)
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Replace the ferrous fume affliction with blacklung.
 Thematically, the ferrous fumes are inhaled and clog
 up the lungs.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Replace the ferrous fume affliction with asthma.
 Geochemantics do not use smoke-cured afflictions, but
 this is a high-priority salve cure. Similar thematic
 reasoning to solution 1.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Replace the ferrous fume affliction with shortbreath.
 The effects are pretty useless with contamination,
 but it still serves as salve cure fluff. In this
 case, please ensure that shortbreath does not prevent
 contamination from causing damage on a hold breath
 attempt.

Like 1 and 2, ok with 3 but might want to avoid if willpower/endurance are one
day phased out.

Alright with any of these. You may want to specify subbing vomiting with its
replacement here as a TaintBomb boosting aff too?

Any solution is fine

@Llandros: Shortbreath is the anti-hold-breath affliction from Aeromancy.
Trembling is the endurance one. @Ushaara: that's specified in the problem, as it
goes for all of them and I wanted to keep the solutions fairly concise.
