Found a few typos in bard spells-

DMRS:
When casting you get
>Energy explodes from you, forming concentric rings of tangible sound of that sweep through the area like the fading ripples in a pond.
The highlighted of should not be there.
The line that others see is correct and does not have that extra of.

AOT:
When recast upon someone, they get a rather garbled message
>A myriad of disjointed sounds seem to linger aimlessly in the air for a few momentsYou hear a brief ringing in your ears.
> before they blend together into phrases you quickly recognize.
>You feel your mind sharpen further under the power of Bard's spell.
The "You hear a brief ringing in your ears" is the spell fading message and is inserted into the middle normal cast message. This also seems to only happen if they are in a group with the casting Bard. Though discern states that this spell can be cast upon other, they actually don't get the effect of the spell unless they are in the bard's group. If not grouped, they will get the first line of the spell effect, but can't perceive the spell on themselves.
Not grouped-
>Bard gestures at you.
Bard's cambrinth ring emits a loud snap.
A myriad of disjointed sounds seem to linger aimlessly in the air for a few moments before blending inaudibly into the background noise.
>perc all
You reach out with your weak senses and see glowing streams of golden Holy mana radiating through the area.
You sense the Eillie's Cry spell upon you, which will last for about nine roisaen.
Roundtime: 6 sec.
>
Bard reaches over and holds your hand.
>
Bard gestures at you.
Bard's cambrinth ring emits a loud snap.
A myriad of disjointed sounds seem to linger aimlessly in the air for a few moments before they blend together into phrases you quickly recognize.
You feel your mind sharpen further under the power of Bard's spell.
>perc all
You reach out with your weak senses and see glowing streams of golden Holy mana radiating through the area.
You sense the Eillie's Cry spell upon you, which will last for about eight roisaen.
Concentrating on the whispered phrases of "Aura of Tongues", you grow confident in your ability to understand the Olvi, Toggish, and Rakash languages, in addition to any others you already speak. This effect will last for about twelve roisaen.
Roundtime: 6 sec.

Another one to add with Breath of Storms:

>You listen intently to the air about you before voicelessly calling the ever-changing storm.
The air around you stirs in response crackling with untamed energies as a bolt of lightning strikes at a ship's rat!
The worst of the bolt misses a ship's rat, but a stray tendril ignites its edge of the eyees.
The ship's rat is lightly stunned!
Roundtime: 1 sec.

The highlighted eyees should be eyes. Also the wording is rather clunky for the second half of that line. Maybe it should be something like "but a stray tendril ignites it on the edge of the eye." Though I don't know if this a typo with this spell or with the combat engine itself.

Can you make sure to bug that one? I know where to fix it but due to how the messaging is assembled I can't do it in just a few seconds and that way I'm less likely to lose track of it.
