Automatic stat gain in T1/Pernband

[Therem Harth]

I'm messing around with T1 aka Pernband at the moment, and one of the things I'm trying to do is add automatic stat gain a la Theme. But it isn't working. When I try to make the game invoke Neil's automatic statgain script, I get an error on start about how I'm calling a global (nil value), which is apparently a bad thing, and though the game works the stat gain doesn't.

Anyone care to enlighten me on why this is happening and how to fix it?

... And never mind. It turns out that T1 will crash, undoing your progress, if you cast a spell while holding down the shift key. Yippee.
