Reword feedback for repeated confuse monster use

Browse Source 
I didn't like "your hands begin to glow red even more" very much (the
hero's hands aren't really 'beginning' to glow if they already have an
active confuse monster effect, and "glow red even more" was an awkward
turn of phrase on top of that).  Rephrase it to "The red glow of your
hands intensifies."
