It may depend on where you're clicking -- be sure it's the picture, not where the advice will appear.

The alternate way to set values is to click and hold to the left or right of the slider.

That would break the current behavior of making small adjustments by clicking to the left or right of the slider.

Looks like it works to me (keep in mind that sometimes the list won't show a clan you click on, if it's been filtered).

It's OK to be discontiguous.

Yes, since "m" is undocumented :-)
This is sort of a debugging feature we left in, and the colors relate to something that's not really implemented.

Switching blessings wasn't supposed to count as an action...
