Code: Torven * Pet focus item effects have been further modified. * NPCs wielding bane weapons will now hit targets that are vulnerable to the weapons. * Charm will now fade when casting feign death. * Finishing Blow no longer triggers on non-fleeing targets. * Finishing Blow was hitting NPCs one level higher than it should have and this was corrected. * The to-hit bonus while under warrior berserker frenzy and the penalty from drunkeness were not being applied and this was fixed. * NPCs with Divine Aura spells on them are no longer prevented from attacking or moving. * Spell Ancient: Lifebane no longer heals the caster. solar * Made Pacify spell gain spell haste benefit from focus effects like the one on Ring of the Shissar, despite the duration limit that should exclude it.

One of the EQEmu devs in their infinite wisdom hardcoded Lifebane to lifetap because the spell has 'life' in the name, apparently. It's a poison based nuke. Makes me wonder how much of this inherited junk is left in there. Fortuneately somebody who recently got the spell finally brought it to my attention.
Makes sense, looking at Lucy. Today I asked other necros who did have it, and they concur. I didn't even notice the heal component when I first got it, then later on mentally did a doubletake at the awesomness
