    Details: Not a bug, but perhaps a bit of an exploit - once an Avatar has learned the "Blue Blooded" skill it gains water resistance with higher skill level. Normally that would train very slowly when enemies use ice damage on the player. However in Highvale Outskirts are the rooms with the mirrors that spread ongoing smallscale icedamage and simply standing there raises the Blue Blooded skill really fast.

    Thanks for the report!

    For now, we're considering this type of skill again along the same lines as training with a practice dummy. The gains are small enough that we're not making a change right now, but reserve the right to change our minds in the future.

    also, don't report things you think might be exploits publicly.
