We'd still like to do Barrier, but some of the revamps ended up more extensive than we planned. At this point we'd rather make what we have taste good instead of throwing new ingredients into the stew, but it's an idea we still like.

Believe it or not, hymns are still being worked on. Now that the squid works a little better, Spell holy symbolofhope [Hymn of Hope] has even less of a role.
