Issue Description

If a wizard uses the disguise self spell, and the person they are disguised as are then set to wanted, the wanted status will still be visible even if the wizard changes disguise. This seems to fix itself after a while, or due to an unidentified condition.

What did you expect to happen?

For the wizard to look like a different person with no wanted status.

What happened instead?

The wizard kept their wanted status. It fixed itself at some point though.

Why is this bad/What are the consequences?

The disguise self spell is meant to disguise you as a different crewmember, if you're set to wanted the spell is countered. It makes little sense that you can still be identified as wanted when you look like someone else.

Steps to reproduce the issue.

1. Be wizard.
2. Use disguise self.
3. Have the AI set you to wanted.
4. Use disguise self.
5. Notice how you kept the wanted status.

When did the problem start happening?

Noticed today 30.11.2024.
