Made a completely custom normal map! I am reasonably happy, but it didn't fix the problems I hoped it would.

The doctors found no cure for the Glistening Hem Syndrome, so unfortunately it stays for now, unless there is a foreign expert on the loose (help!)
I am now (well, starting tomorrow) working on the alternate, more balanced versions, as the "layout" is there.
I shall return with gifts many and wondrous.
