They might have fixed it, but you have to be very careful with Alter Aeon help files. They have the nasty habbit of not telling you everything you need to know about a spell or skil. For example, when last I looked, the leatherworking skill help file does not actually tell you that the item you create binds to your character. If I had known that detail, I would not have wasted the practices on it.
