[Sindai]

Just one tiny thing:

Make the shift-Z command (dump commander blood spaves into laboratory pool) effect all gem types. I can't imagine why this wasn't done in the first place, nor figure out any reason why it shouldn't be done now. It greatly helps the micromanagement of building tons of gem-creating items (clams) and has no detrimental effects whatsoever. It also seems fairly easy to code.

Oh, and the oft-requested "do not cast these spells" list on a per-mage basis in combat. This alone would make mages way less frustrating to use as actual battlefield support.
