I think stamp specialty should be secured at power 2, since it affects
voting strength, but I don't see that listed here. i
Also... Stamp specialization switch would need to be tracked on persons,
not players, as players are registered.
Also... if a person is deregistered for 3 months... then they get set to
ANY, then they reregister with super powers.

Since this gets rid of radiance, this is fine. However, may want to specify
the office that tracks Victory Tokens (presumably the collector?). I think
this would be fine to leave at power=1.

As I said to ais523's gems, I think there should be a cap to voting
strength gained from this. Probably a cap of 3? (needs to be Power=2)

I think there should be an ability to pay N Selfsame Stamps to change a
player's specialty if they have already chosen one.

Because 2642 is a different rule than 2640, 2640 is using the definition of
fixed from 2577. I think this means that stones are non-transferrable,
since it would not be defined in its backing document (2640), and 2577 has
higher power than 2642? I think this also applies to weilding stones,
however, I'm not certain because would R2645 be the backing document, and
thus, defined methods of transfer?
Repeal R2643, "Collecting Stones".
