Obvious typographical mistakes

The rule ‘Time Crystals’ has a deal of unnecessary italics in it:

There exist Time Crystals (or simply “Crystals”). While in possession of one or more Time Crystals, a Traveller’s Shiny value is temporarily boosted to the maximum Shiny value (as specified in Rule 2.1) and e receives all benefits, restrictions, and responsibilities therein. Eir temporary Shiny value is noted in the GNDT as “m [p]”, where m is the current maximum Shiny value and p is the Traveller’s previous Shiny value. Any actions that would change the Traveller’s Shiny value are ignored, affecting neither the boosted nor previous value. However, if the maximum allowable Shiny value changes, then boosted Shiny values change too. If the Traveller loses possession of all eir Time Crystals, then eir Shiny value reverts to the lesser of eir previous Shiny value and the current maximum Shiny value.

I have boldly used the last clause in 1.1,

Admin Staff may correct obvious spelling and typographical mistakes in the Ruleset at any time.

and, having decided that these italics are clearly typographical errors, removed them. Any Traveler who believes that the italics were intentionally used as per 3.1 is free to issue a Call for Judgment.
