Actually, I can see why it slipped by. They were changing ADM, and
whoever was working on it was probably not the person who originally
coded the spells, and didn't realize that Aria would be affected by
it. It happens, even to me. They don't have time to go back and test
*every* aspect of the game for each patch, simply because if they did,
the patch would be rather long in getting out. That bug will likely
be fixed in the next patch.

Robynn, programmer extrordonaire...who should be getting ready for
work right now.
