Goldenflame Dragon has posted a short, but significant update to the Ultima Dragons Facebook group:

Well I’ll be. I just successfully cast my first spell in DU. It cured my disease from the swamp. 🙂

Fixed a few walkon/idleon bugs, too. Fairly productive evening. Weirdly enough I think I’m going to take a break from magic having gotten to this point and work on (U)sing things from your inventory next.

Oh, and taking damage now causes a flash in the HP display to make it obvious.

Well, that’s exciting news. The Dark Unknown appears to be coming along nicely.
