[Code Bounty] Buffs syndicate bible

[Shoddd]

About The Pull Request

Allows you to wear syndicate bible in pocket and belt slot, anti magic works from both

Why It's Good For The Game

Currently syndicate bible is pretty bad, it is barely better than a holy melon for 5 TC.
It requires you to give up a hand slot and carry a item in hand that gives you away as a traitor.
your name is also shown on the bible so just by inspecting it people know its yours even if not on you.
Most magic antags like cult and heretic are melee focus'd as well, meaning they will most likely shove you over dropping the bible or just have the advantage in melee already. While you although countering their magic only have one hand.

Okay that's pretty neat, do keep in mind that the main point of syndie bible isn't anti-magic, it's healing.
IIRC syndicate bible doesn't deal brain damage even without a helmet while healing the same if not more.

Still a good PR, though.

No the point of it is the anti-magic. You can't use it to heal yourself, only others making it pointless to buy for that. Whilst the 18 burn damage it does is nice, it's not really something you buy for the damage when there is other, better, options. The only reason you'd ever buy it is if there is a cult, heretic or wizard on the station and you feel like you want/need the anti-magic (such as if you know you are a heretic's target). Even the TG wiki basically says the real value of the item is the anti-magic (which it is)

It only heals 10 damage per use and still does the brain damage, with new pain update this is lessened even more since it won't stop any pain, as destrucktoid said, main reason you would buy is anti-magic and maybe a weapon. You can't heal yourself so its pretty niche use cases and pretty bad in the most likely case.

Good to know.
