Vampire adjustments (#692)

Hypnotise buffed to last slightly longer, and to silence the target, to make it worth the blood cost and activation time Scaling and datum adjusted to make more vamps in rounds (1 vamp per 50 players is unreal) Frenzy gets removed at a faster rate while draining blood Fixed a bug where thralls got vampire powers Added debug logs for antag spawning, to be pushed live for debug purposes.

 Vampires are individuals who, after attempting blood magic or being converted by a vampire themselves, have been corrupted by the Veil and given insidious power. As creatures of the night they have lost all need to eat or drink and are instead consumed with an unquenching thirst for blood to sustain themselves and to grow more powerful and grow ever closer to tapping the full power of The Veil.<br>

 <h2>Mechanics</h2><br>
-<b>Blood</b> - Blood comes in two forms: usable and total. The usable blood can be considered your mana pool. It gets trained as you use more powers. Total blood can be thought of as experience points. They cannot be removed, and they will move you further up the power tree.<br>

 You start with 30 units of usable blood. Be careful with your initial pool: if you expend it, you will start slowly frenzying.<br>
 <b>Progression</b> - Vampire's progression is linear. The more total blood you train, the more powers you unlock. As the final step, you will unlock the Veil's full power, which augments the existing powers.<br>
 <b>Frenzy</b> - With the raw corruption of the Veil locked within your body, maintaining your sanity is a constant battle. Should you ever run out of usable blood, or become enraged through other means, you may find yourself frenzied. You are reverted to a snarling creature who only wants to consume blood until you are able to break out of it, and regain control. This is done by draining blood.<br>
@@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ Vampire's powers all come from blood magic. In essence, it's similar to the Cult
 <b>Drain Blood</b> - The most basic power a vampire needs. Feeding. Your victim will be unable to resist from the moment you've sunk your fangs into them, and will not remember anything about the encounter, beyond having a pleasant interaction with your character. For every 10 points of blood gained, you drain roughly twice that from your victim. While draining blood, you also sate the Veil's desires, and thus lower your frenzy counter.<br>
 <b>Blood Heal</b> - Uses the blood of your victims to heal you. You must not move or be interrupted in any other way while doing this act of magic. Eventually, all damage will be healed, including broken bones and damaged organs.<br>
 <b>Glare</b> - An area of effect stun ability. Knocks out everyone not wearing proper eyeprotection within a 2 tile radius.<br>
-<b>Hypnotise</b> - A targeted stun ability. Requires that you and your target remain stationary for a short amount of time. The stun effect lasts longer than that applied by Glare.<br>
+<b>Hypnotise</b> - A targeted stun ability. Requires that you and your target remain stationary for a short amount of time. In addition to the stun effects lasting longer than that of Glare's, the target of Hypnotise is also rendered unable to speak for a short amount of time.<br>
 <b>Presence</b> - When <i>toggled</i> and activated, you begin emitting a positive influence towards other characters. Other players within sight range, if influencable through blood magic, will see messages encouraging them to be warmer and more receptive towards your character than they normally would be.<br>
 <b>Veil Step</b> - Activated by right clicking on any tile in the game. You jump to that tile, provided that it's covered in shadows to some degree. If you're a vampire that's gained full power, you will also take anyone you're grabbing along with you.<br>
 <b>Dominate</b> - Activation mechanics are the same as hypnotise: both you and your target need to remain stationary and undisturbed for a short amount of time. Once you succeed in activating it, you get to issue a command to your target. These commands have to be accomplishable in the short term future. For example, you can ask someone to open the doors to the armoury, but you cannot ask someone to remain as your ally forever. A vampire having reached his full potential can dominate a victim instantly.<br>
