the modification. Otherwise you'd have to walk him through making the
change with something like Hex Workshop (http://www.hexworkshop.com/).

pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
