With regard to the spell "inferno", check out the log below:

A Dragon Graveyard [CHAOTIC PK ROOM] - - -

(–---------------------------------------------) W<---(A)--->E

SW S SE

+----------+ The huge cavern is littered with the bones of deceased

    • Dragons, and appears to be a Dragon Graveyard. Most
    • Dragon Graveyards are holy places, however, this particular

  • O-@-O + graveyard contains a presence of pure evil.

  • | | | +

  • O-O-O +

+----------+

[Exits: east south west southeast southwest]

A towering ring of flames surrounds the area.

(Pink Aura) (Red Aura) Daktos, the strongest and most evil of all black

dragons wreaks havoc here.

Daktos is surrounded with the burning fires of hell.

You are scorched by flames!

    You are blinded by smoke!*

    We're getting the echo for getting blinded, but the blind affect isn't

    being applied to the char.

This is what it looked like on my test mortal:

 Within a Chasm  [CHAOTIC PK ROOM]                 -     N     -
(-----------------------------------------------)  W<---(A)--->E
                                                   -     S     -
+----------+ This
+   O-O-O  + huge chasm is the dwelling-place of the master of vampires.
+   | | |  +   Paintings done in parchment and blood line the walls,
+   O-@-O  + and the floor is a  dark red zigzag pattern that resembles
+     |    + carpet.  Body parts, bones, and bits  of flesh are scattered
+     O    + around this pit suggesting that the overlord of  vampires
+----------+ isn't too friendly.
     (Glowing) A bright ball of light shimmers in the air.
     A towering ring of flames surrounds the area.
(Gold Aura) Syn the Implementor is here.

You can't see a thing!

The inferno-blindness affect is real brief (2h) so maybe by the time you checked your affects it had worn off?

As a minor fix though, I added an if-check to keep this code from applying the blind affect twice.
