The Wizard is happy again!

So it seems like I broke Wizards in the latest release. A late change as to how it is determined what items can by used by what player classes caused the mess. Version 1.6.1 is available for download from the usual place.

Broken wizards...

I seem to have broken the wizard in 1.6.0. This is really odd as I've played all three classes a lot before the release... I will try to get a fix out later on today. Sorry.

If you find any problems with the release please report them here or directly via e-mail. Enjoy!
