Bots stop wasting counters on what cannot be countered

Browse Source 
Per the owner's ruling: EMPATHY mirrors only delivered damage, so a
damage-less curse gives it nothing — the berserker keeps it sheathed
against afflictions (an automaton burned one on SLOW DEATH). And the
permanent curses (slow death, walking dead, idiot) ride no duration
pipe, so BLUNT and shieldstone numbers can't shorten them: only a full
stop or REMOVE CURSE answers those, and the ladder now knows it.
