	* Estild: When Tangle Weed (610) was updated with the Spell Disabler Review, it was transitioned to the new formula for Spell Power strength, which reduced the disparity between characters with less than 1x spell ranks and those with more than 1x. At the same time, the lore bonus was rescaled (as the previously bonus was providing the equivalent of ~38 levels of effectiveness at 100 ranks, which was eclipsed most other factors). Moonbeam (611) will receive a similar update (and will also benefit from a single target disabler bonus).		* Estild: When Tangle Weed (610) was updated with the Spell Disabler Review, it was transitioned to the new formula for Spell Power strength, which reduced the disparity between characters with less than 1x spell ranks and those with more than 1x.

			* Estild: All stuns from damage now have a new cap of 6 rounds (30 seconds) against characters and 12 rounds (60 seconds) against creatures. Survival training can reduce the duration by -1% per 5 ranks up until 100 ranks, then -1% per 20 ranks after that. Similar to critical weighting, to make training that results in less than full round reduction worthwhile, there's chance to round up/down. e.g. a 4 round stun is 20 seconds, but Survival training reduces it to 18 seconds. There is then a 60% chance for it to be a 4 round stun and a 40% chance for it to be a 3 round stun.

⚫	Estild: Also, previously some spells would have a dynamic mana cost, but spell hindrance would always cause it to cost mana points equal to the spell level. With these updates, it's a bit more intelligent, so in the case of 320, it will cost 0 mana even with spell hindrance now. Some spells that have a cost that changes based upon single or AoE targets will use the highest mana cost of the two, but that's still lower than the previous model of being equal to spell level.

			==Random Notes:==
⚫	Estild: We're trying something out new called Minimum Level of Effectiveness. For SMR (and eventually warding down the road), it will use the normal stats/skills to calculate the strength of an attack, but then compare that against a minimum that only uses your level, and use the greater of the two. We're roughly aiming for the latter to be about a 70% chance of success.

	Estild: A new update was just made to the SMR formula (for the updated spells) where Minor and Semi spell circles will not factor in Spell Aiming ranks unless it causes a higher spell strength.
