It is removing the "*Only* magic can resist Curses" wording. It brings it back into line with the rest of the game regarding resistance to magic. Sure, I *could* have written "just strike through the entire sentence"...

You really should, you know. Some minor things may be changed, some major (like the removal of most Transfers from the Extended Contest chart that someone hadn't realized had occured). If you're going to complain about the rules, *please* complain about the printed ones, not old playtest versions (not just Alex, but everyone).
