A meteor storm occurred See this post first: viewtopic.php?p=13069142#p13069142) for details

As you stand looking at the night sky, you feel your skin crawl. It feels stiffened. It feels slightly irritated. While no one looks, you pinch yourself as hard as you can. You start to move around, and it feels like your skin is concrete. Your brain is telling you something isn't right. You see a lamppost near the wall of the shopping complex, and you step over to it. There's a panel on the side of it, and it has a sharp edge on the corner of it. Quietly, you scrape your hand against it as though trying to cut it. You can't explain the desire to do this, it's simply there. But even though you can clearly see it's sharp, it has no effect. It slowly dawns on you that the storm has changed you, and made you

Healthier

You now have a MANA statistic added to your game. The meteor storm has somehow given you 6 Mana points,and Mana makes you bullet proof and immune to weapons. Each time a weapon is used on you, you lose 2 mana points. But the weapon will have no effect. Once you run out, you run out. There may be some weapons that you cannot avoid.
