What are the enchantment/glyph? I'm currently doing a corruption priest run, and I've found that the double sunray combo (to blind and then paralyze) works well for stacking debuffs before using the wand of corruption

Wish the Onion wasn't out here giving them ideas…

I've always dropped the censer before entering shops because I was afraid this would happen

He's not as bad (yet, at least). But Hitler didn't have access to a gigantic nuclear arsenal, so Trump has the potential to do way more damage

Sensationalist headline-writer: "These researchers are neutrally investigating language change? Let's throw 'fear' in there to get up the prescriptivists' hackles!"

You do gain hunger slower in a garden, so if you have to sleep to heal, it's a better place than just out in the dungeon. Other than that, I find it useful for the assassin to build up turns of preparation without spending cloak charges or potions/scrolls; just remember to turn on your cloak before you leave or it all goes to waste.

What does this bit mean?

The Priest can cast Guiding Light for free once every 100 turns, and can consume the illumination debuff with allies, wands, and some artifacts for bonus damage equal to their level.

A lot of the cleric's abilities seem pretty specific. Are you able to use any of them with other heroes with the scroll of metamorphosis?

This is fair. Usually when I hear "prescriptive" I have a knee-jerk reaction to it as something bad because it's usually used to refer to people using made-up rules to enforce systems of oppression rather than fight against them like inclusive language does, but I hadn't thought about it as "prescriptivism for good."

Using inclusive language isn't linguistic prescriptivism. Prescriptivism is saying "this word is incorrect English/doesn't mean what you are using it for." Inclusive language is saying "if you use this word, you're being a jerk."
