[crossfire] Proposal: Alchemy spell changes

[Alex Schultz]

The alchemy spell has so long as I can remember been a rather useless
spell, and since the shop system change has become increasingly so after
the shop system change. I propose that gold nuggets be changed to count
as a gem, and hence give their true value in shops just like diamonds,
and then reduce the amount of nuggets the alchemy spell makes, from 9/10
of the value, to range from 1/2 to 9/10 value depending on the casting
level of alchemy (only getting to 9/10 at level 115 or so). This would
make nuggets from the alchemy spell give a way to get decent money for
items while not having to look around for the best place to sell as
much, but give worse value than what one could get if one searches
around, and if one gets very high level sorcery one could get close to
the best store value by creating nuggets and selling them.
