Skillset: Skill: Writhe-New
 Org: Serenguard Status: Completed Nov 2012
Furies' Decision:
Solution 1.
Problem: Recently it was discovered that there was a bug in the writhing code
that allowed for one to writhe from multiple impalements at the same time. We as
envoys unanimously agreed to leave it this way for balance reasons, however
there are some slight mechanical problems this introduces that makes it
difficult for a person to make proper use of this in their curing. As of right
now, if you were impaled by two different means (ie. pinned at each leg or
impaled and pinned) when you begin to writhe, you receive the same message on
each writhe you attempt. In other words, if you are pinned in the leg and
impaled in the gut and you WRITHE twice, both times you will receive "You begin
to writhe furiously to escape the blade that has impaled you." (which
corresponds only to impalegut). This was discussed with Roark and found that it
is difficult for the writhe task to predict what it will eventually cure. This
report proposes instead to introduce new WRITHE verbs to allow us to force these
messages ourselves instead.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Introduce WRITHE IMPALEDGUT, WRITHE PINLEGLEFT,
 WRITHE PINLEGRIGHT and WRITHE CRUCIFIX. Additionally,
 include individual fail messages for each method
 attempted when the affliction is not present. Eg.
 When you try to WRITHE CRUCIFIX and are not
 crucified, have it say "You are not crucified! You
 begin to writhe helplessly, throwing your body off
 balance." or some variant.

If I understand this correctly, you wouldn't obsolece the plain "WRITHE" syntax.
Instead, you would add onto the functionality in a "WRITHE | WRITHE
<affliction>" either or option? Supported.

Correct, Janalon.

Also, I forgot to mention antlers from stag gore. So please include WRITHE
