Should've replied to the last message in the thread, rather than going one
previous. Anyway, if I'm not too confused, isn't that what wait states are
for? I personally decremented PULSE_VIOLENCE to 1 second, and this gives
magic users a little bonus (if the other guy's going slow, and casting a
spell isn't a physical effort, why should it be slowed too?). Just my two
nickels worth.
