My healer/mage's bandages took 16 seconds before this last change and 10
seconds after it.

It's now 20 seconds to heal the same amount of damage but the individual
bandaging time is short enough now that the bandages do some good. There's
less healing lost to slipping fingers and less time for the slipping fingers
to cut the healing to nothing.

Oddly enough for UO, this 'improvement' actually benefited the players. :)

It's nice having a bandage do it's thing before the next ebolt hits. ;)
