Misc. minor musings & testing v1.10s oddities

[Pren]

Heh, how funny. Tonight I finished my new druid's Leaf. I'd been keeping a 2 socket short staff on swap since clvl4 or so when I found it, got a Ral off the first countess I killed, and decided I'd wait for a tir to drop in act 2 (or for me to hit clvl19, then run the countess again for one.) Sure enough I got one and slipped the runes into it. Upon socketting the ral, it went red and I laughed. I do not think this has any effect whatsoever - consider that you can equip an item with +str/dex, then have it go red when you remove those items. For the record, the staff disappeared from my hands. I did not test to see if it was automatically equipped when i turned lvl19 if i had it as the active swap.
