[Call Lightning] This spell received some updates and fixes. All boxes (not just when on the ground) will convert silver coins (and now gold ingots) to slabs. Boxes held in a hand when they ‘splode will no longer break your inventory; their contents will properly spill alongside you. >Boxes inside a container when they ‘splode will spill their contents inside the container.

[Call Lightning…again] The spell has been updated regarding object targets. When it’s time for the cloud to s’plode, the targeted object must be on the ground, held, or placed alongside you. Otherwise, no s’plodey s’plodey. Boxes are no longer blowupable when in a disk, a container on the ground, or a container on your person.
