    Pardon my grammarian nerdiness here, but your note on "comprises" in PLAT01, PLAT07, PLAT98, and PLAT99 is wrong. Technically, the word is used correctly in these item descriptions. "To comprise" is functionally synonymous with "to include." The phrase you're probably intending as a replacement for "comprises" would be "is composed of" or simply "is made of" -- and I'd agree that those are better wordings than "comprises" in the context of this sentence. The sentence is patently meant to explain what plate armor is constructed from, not merely what it includes.

    But that's pretty picky copyediting for a tiny piece of a huge, text-heavy game, all things considered. :)

    I've corrected these with the following exceptions:
    - Spears, STAF04, Sword of Flame +1, and the two-handed sword +1 all require new strings, so I'll fix them once they're added.
    - As @sorcel00 said, "comprises" is correct.

    Fantastic work!

    Update: Turns out that the items affected by the first three are unused, while the latter is getting adjusted to match the description (and the other two-handed swords). So everything that can be seen in the game has been handled.
