Stylus: add the glype name in game log #343

Closed timendum closed 4 years ago

timendum commented 4 years ago

Hi, a small suggestion for Quality of life improvement: after inscribing an armor all I can read in the game log is:

You inscribed your armor with the stylus

It would be nice to read at least the glyph name, es:

You inscribed your armor with the stylus with the glyph of viscosity

The game actually used to feature variable text there, but I have been steadily removing unnecessary variable text like this because it is problematic for translations. Because of variable grammar rules its often difficult to translate "You inscribed your armor with a glyph of X" into different languages, unless I give translators the ability to change the sentence structure for every type of glyph.
