[1.0.4] Conveyance Reward for Tempest Peak

So it always bothered me that magic characters (and, more importantly magic-allied characters) got absolutely no reward for doing the Tempest Peak quest. Antimagic folks get Fungus, which is insanely good, while magic folks get... nothing. So, I fixed that. My original intent was to give Spell/Meta as the reward, but as some folks pointed out it would be insanely overpowered. The discussion eventually settled on the conveyance tree as the best reward, because it's very useful to many classes and not too powerful.

A little code later, about eight misplaced commas (I'm still really new with lua code), and I managed to wrestle the Spell/Conveyance tree into being a reward.

This functions exactly the same as the Fungus tree does for antimagic characters: If you don't have it at all, it will be added at 1.00/locked. If you already have it locked it will be unlocked. If you already have it unlocked it will get +0.1 mastery.

Everything's already done, should be uploaded by the time you read this. Unless you're sitting on the forums mindlessly pressing f5 every two minutes. In which case you probably ought to do something else. Like play the game! That would be good.

Nice:)
Just a note though, it's very wrong to say they get nothing. They get *less* than AM yes, that's different.
They get exp & artifact from the boss

Okay, Technically Zigur followers get boss exp, loot and Fungus category, which is awesome.
Angolwen path characters just get the boss exp and loot.

Loot is replaced, a Fungus is forever.

Bugfix update. By accident I left in a bit of code that resulted in the path to Tempest Peak being available for magic characters after you killed Urkis. Not sure why that line of code was actually there in the first place.

P.S. I'm also too lazy to go and test this right now, so if you download the new version and it breaks stuff, yell at me on this thread and I'll be more thorough. I'm pretty sure it's fine, though.

Also don't try this addon with my Arcanum addon. Things might break.

Yeah, they're incompatible. I don't think they break, I think one will just superimpose itself on the other. Haven't cared to test which, yet.

We both left our weight values at 100, so...

(Anyway, if you're using Arcanum it does a similar function, so there's no reason to use this in addition. Unless you really want conveyance over restoration.)

I assume this is supposed to be awarded upon returning to Linaniil? I ask because my first character to use this addon (an alchemist) had the quest end instantly upon killing the boss, and Linaniil has no additional conversation topics. I probably wouldn't have spent the category point in any case, but I thought you'd want to know. Since it's copied from DG's quest code, I suppose it's also worth asking if that has ever been known to not give the award?

edit: Second character to use this addon, still no reward. Is this working for everyone else? I'm not using Arcanum FWIW, and I don't *think* any of my current addons would conflict.
