"nipped in the bud" is not a phrase I would use for a bug which has
already allowed some groups to generate enough aura to aura-blast
dozens of nobles. This bug has already had a large effect on the
progress of the game; the relative power of high-aura mages has turned
out to be small compared to a swarm of relatively low-aura mages using
this bug. Also, because the bug was not well known until recently, I
failed to kill several nobles I blasted because my vision said they
had only partially learned survive fatal... and I only blasted them
once instead of twice.
