omni Fix to a few minor typos.

   * SLASHING: Slashing damage is caused by weapons like axes, swords or scythes, and by natural attacks like claws. Slashing damage is reduced by normal physical damage resistance and slashing resistance.   * SLASHING: Slashing damage is caused by weapons like axes, swords or scythes, and by natural attacks like claws.

   * COLD, FIRE, ELECTRICITY, ACID: Cold, fire, electricity, and acid damage are all derived from the elemental planes they are associated with. Electricity is associated with the elemental plane of air, while acid is associated with the elemental plane of earth. These damage types are reduced by spell damage resistance, or resistance to their specific type. Among the easiest types of offense to defend against well are fire, electrical and acid damage. Refuge from cold damage can be sought via similar defensive spells, too, but not to the same level.   * COLD, FIRE, ELECTRICITY, ACID: Cold, fire, electricity, and acid damage are all derived from the elemental planes they are associated with.

   * MENTAL: Use predominantly by wielders of psionic energy, mental damage is energy delivered directly to the victim's central nervous system and brain, causing raw damage to their psyche. Something that specifically targets the mind is usually only warded off by those strong of will or those who practice psionics.   * MENTAL: Use predominantly by wielders of psionic energy, mental damage is energy delivered directly to the victim's central nervous system and brain, causing raw damage to their psyche.

-  * SONIC: A favorite of bards, sonic energy is raw sound that delivers incredible damage to the victim through pure, overpowering sonic overload. It unusual to find things to defend against this form of damage, but audio-based resistance is not impossible to achieve.+  * SONIC: A favorite of bards, sonic energy is raw sound that delivers incredible damage to the victim through pure, overpowering sonic overload.

   * SILVER and COLD IRON: Silver and cold iron are metals that serve a very specific purpose. Silver is deadly against were-creatures and vampires alike, causing them much more damage than other metals. Cold iron is specifically geared towards killing Fey creatures and causes extra damage to them. Difficult to find potent defenses against, fey, werekin and vampires alike should fear the metal they're weak to.   * SILVER and COLD IRON: Silver and cold iron are metals that serve a very specific purpose.
