Title : Magewar Changes

1: Time Stop now costs the caster 1 Orb
2: The Mystery of Talamport has been rewritten. Prismatic Protection
means protection from all colors.
3: You can now have multiple protections on at the same time (prot from
red for 3 rounds, blue for 1 round, green for 5 rounds). It SHOULD
colorize your name interestingly if you have this.
4: During the first ROUND only the player who goes first will get no
resource generation. This is common in card games and is the what
the first player 'pays' for getting to go first. Previously I had
made a bug where no one got any resource the entire first round.
5: Deck names are no longer printed so you don't know that your opponent
is playing his super awesome 'resource generator' deck.
6: There is a new environment variable you can set 'magewar_draw_brief'
which will keep you from seeing the pictures of the cards you draw.
So instead of saying "You drew Time Stop" and then ALSO showing you
the picture of Time Stop it just says the line "You drew..." You
might want this envvar if you know the cards well and you'll also see
the cards appear in your hand anyway.
7: There is a new environment varaible you can set 'magewar_no_change'
which makes it so that you do not see the "CHANGE" lines showing you
specifically how the game table changed after the play of a card.

Changes 6 and 7 are intended to help with some spam.
