          The Berserker Spell seems a very strange spell for a Humakti
          to have.  I wrote to Chaosium about this, and Rudy Kraft
          explained its use: for Humakti, it is a Death Song.  Humakti
          will cast it on the day they believe they are going to die, to
          slay as many enemies as they can.  This I like, but I'd
          suggest that for Humakti, the spell has no risk of backfiring
          on friends and allies.  Perhaps it should also be made one
          use.
