Yeah, we're not super-consistent with those. Went ahead and added it in those cases, thanks!

Impish villain too has gender issues. Pronoun is "It" while the messages have "he"

There are still some spacing issues when using the new IotM. Sometimes the paragraphs are directly above the line where you get the item and it shows the item image, instead of having an extra line break.

That's not really standardized at all, but there's some space now.

The fire strike-back message:
With a WHOOSH! your firey defenses activate in response to your opponent's attack, reflecting 4 damage onto your opponent.

My dictionary insists it's "fiery".

Your dictionary is right, for as little sense as that makes. Thanks!

Um, about Chlorine Lad's ladel...
According to my dictionary, it should be "ladle".
Of course, that ladel is from an alternate reality, so there's that.

Someone's been spelling that wrong for years. Spoiler Alert: It's me.

One of the critical hit messages with Argent Archer's arrow equipped:
The light of the moon glints off the Argent Archer's arrow, driving your opponent damage crazy.

"damage" was emboldened and em-purpled, so I'm guessing that was psychic damage, but how much?

Craaaaaaaazy damage.

And judging by how secretly jealous everyone is of this awesome coat, you can bet you bottom nickle that it's going to be unwelcome attention.

A nickle is a type of European woodpecker, but I don't think that's what you meant.

From the leering king's miss messages:
The king pours something on you that he says scalds like molten lead, but its not even above body temperature.

He just sits there in awkward silence and stares at you. It makes you want to hit him which, as look would have it, was kind of on the itinerary anyway.

impractical jokester description
She's finds just about anything outrageously funny, but she's not particularly good at executing jokes because her plans are always so outrageous.
Also, although working okay with every other foe so far, the floyds prism message is clumped together with this foe's description so I guess a line break at the end of this foe's description is the best fix.

Tweaked, thanks! Let me know if it causes you any more problems.
