Finally found proof that life leech went in before kunark:
http://translate.google.com/translat...ml&sl=ja&tl=en
went in 1/20/2000, well before kunark's release
call of flames and divine might also went in at the same time
this was after the release of sky, but before the release of paineel i believe (which is already out at this point) so i guess its implementation is at the mercy of the devs for whenever they feel like it should go in
