Is the amulet that reduces evil bugged?

[sresk]

Hey guys I've been trying to stack students with the amulet that reduces evil progress once they gradute and I never seem to notice evil progress going down. Can anyone one confirm if this is working?

I have same question about merfolk. Description do say it's about percentage of prestige being transfered into reducing evil, but what percentage? If it's like 0.1 of prestige, it never going to make ANY differentce.

1) Students can only get one amulet at a time, so be sure to only get the Sign if you plan on making use of it.
2) I've confirmed that it has some effect, although I can't guarantee it's precisely 1% each time.
3) Merfolk seems to be 1% of LoE force per prestige. So archmage is 4%. Experimentation seems to confirm.

I've definitely had a run this week where I ended a level and a bunch of merfolk graduated, where after all of the graduations Lord of Evil progress was down a pretty decent amount (didn't matter of course, since I had already ended the level). There is 100% an impact, but it's small doses at the same time, so you might not notice it.

Alright so I've confirmed that they and deepfolk do both work, the problem that was getting me was that by the time I was consistently getting students that had the amulet the evil was progressing so fast that their effect wasn't noticeable.
