The scribed spells Leaf & Magic 3.0 06/15/2011 02:09 PM CDT
While I'd know this for fact , I've been told existing scrolls will not work under the 3.0 magic system.
If this is true , will scribing said scrolls into the leaf "damage" our spell books in any way when the 3.0 system is released ?

I'm gonna say no it won't ruin/break it, they just won't be usuable. cause you can still scribe old/nonexistant spells into it like hobble or ring of blessings.. i'll put my list at the bottom

I was curious about the kuldaez stones though, since Fr Sc is looking to disappear as a spell altogether, would the other crystals still function the same or similiar, or are they tied into the mechanics of the actual spell?

For your sake alone I hope spell scrolls don't go kaputt when we convert over to the new magic system.

no problem and thanks, collecting completely useless esoteric magic is a hobby of mine, I used to have something with feral magic in it too(a trap component?).

and if anyone's got anything like that, i'm always looking, such as: multiple ether shield, selective tremor, fire shard volley, and strobe. Very interested.
Thanks,

<<it doesn't look like a good idea to try and get the book out of the case when i try it

In that case it has a crystal on it that needs to be removed; has nothing to do with the bloodlock. But if you've turned the case to the misc section and there's no key, then the only reason you'd want the book out is to sell the case seperately, anyway.

Re: spellbook 07/22/2003 02:34 PM CDT
Aye, I got the book unlocked cause I do got the key, now it's just that Crystal I need to get taken care of. Was told only way to do this is to use all the charges. So I guess i'm in for paying an Empath a few (15-20) plats to sit around and keep healin me till the charges are all used up...

Thanks for the help to all ya's who IM'd me.

Re: spellbook 07/22/2003 05:57 PM CDT
The crystals don't work properly; they have infinite charges. If it goes off 10 times, assist. If the GH won't help you, you're outta luck..but the crystal is probably never gonna run out of charges.

Much as it might annoy the other 95% of the realms, I'm going to hope that the future of Cleric guild development is figured out before spellbooks are considered a priority again.

Maybe because spellbooks aren't specifically attached to the Cleric guild by anything other than the original implementor, they'll be picked up by a GM now who's not working on the raise quest.

Shouldn't that be the most obvious answer? Silly people. ;)

That would be the best answer to a lot of us. Doesn't necessarily mean it's going to happen like that. Having a cleric as one of my main characters I sincerely hope they find someone with as much creativity and drive as Skral. He will be missed. Having an empath (lore primary) currently without a spellbook as one of my main characters hopes they find someone who can bring the spellbook merchant back as quickly as possible.

Runestone 'jewellery' and spellbook cases. 10/08/2003 06:26 PM CDT
I have 'a heavy golden sunfish pendant with delicate pink erythrite stripes', which I guess is closer to fitting the basic profile of being a runestone, than it is to being a magic-related jewellery type item (which would most likely go in the miscellaneous compartment), but the silly thing won't fit anywhere in my case. I've tried to stuff it in each section several times, and its just not gonna happen.

I assume it should be considered the type of item which could be stored in the runestone compartment, but since it doesnt... could someone give me a shove in the best direction as to whether I should:

(a) Bug it IG or in the bugs topic in this category, and it will get dealt with eventually?
(b) Bring it to the specific attention of <someone, anyone?> via whichever means they may have deemed suitable, so that it can be added to the ever-growing (If such a beast even exists, of course) list of magic-oriented items which should be coded to be stowed in the cases.
(c) Get over it and stuff my pendant in a different container (and no, I'm not going to wear it, would you?), cause with no-one currently looking after Spellbooks, the chances of getting anything changed or added to the code/system/whatsit, are somewhere vaguely in-between buggerall and none.


Thanks in advance,

Kalewen.

Have your writing implement in hand (and all inked up if you are using a stylus that needs ink), and your spellbook open to the page you want to write on..

You have to open your ink and IIRC dip stylus in ink (Might be put? I have to figure it out anew every time) and the stylus will stay inked for awhile.

So you made me go and look up my notes on this again too...heh...thank Wryt by the way, this is from his research waaaaay back...

Here is what I have for the freestanding writeable journals, I imagine it should be similar for the spellbook ones:

TO WRITE

Proper Syntax: Write in pad <text>


Left hand: Piece of narrow lead with a leather grip
Right hand: White pad

write in pad This is a test.
In your white pad, you write "This is a test."

read pad
You read your white pad...

Written in lead are the words "This is a test."


TO ERASE


Left hand: Small yellow eraser
Right hand: White pad

rub pad
You carefully erase the writing from a page in your pad.

read pad
You read your white pad...

This page is blank.

Rose Petals, Holy Oil and spellbook cases 11/30/2003 05:29 PM CST
Zabari suggested crossposting this over here. I'm not sure if it is a substances issue or a spellbook case issue.


I thought I'd cut down on my inventory numbers by combing my herbs. And then wondered if combining rose petals worked. Well, yup, they're combinable, but once combined they no longer fit into a spellbook case misc compartment.

Not sure if this is an issue with substances or spellbook cases?

>turn case to misc
You shift the partitions in your spellbook case, closing the compartment that holds a spellbook and opening the one for miscellaneous spell components.
>look in case
In the spellbook case you see some holy oil, a vial of naphtha, some holy oil, some holy oil, a stick of blessed incense, a stick of blessed incense, a stick of blessed incense, a pitch black ink bottle, an ivory stylus, a small rubber eraser, a stick of blessed incense, a stick of blessed incense, a sprig of rue, a sprig of rue, a cambrinth lump, a kirmhiro draught, some holy oil, some rose petals, a sprig of rue, some rose petals, a sprig of rue, some rose petals.
>get petal
You get some rose petals from inside your spellbook case.
>get petal from case
You get some rose petals from inside your spellbook case.
>comb pet with pet
You combine some rose petals with some rose petals.
>count pet
There's two parts left of the rose petals.
>get pet from case
You get some rose petals from inside your spellbook case.
>comb pet with pet
You combine some rose petals with some rose petals.
>get pet from case
I could not find what you were referring to.
>put pet in case
It doesn't appear that some rose petals is the type of item to put in the miscellaneous component compartment.

It's not a huge deal, since I can store the petals elsewhere. :ponders: Hopefully combining them didn't make them un-holy so I can't make rose attar with it! :flail: gah, I'm afraid to test....

oh ick. Now my holy oil won't go back in either.

>get oil
You get some holy oil from inside your spellbook case.
>get oil from case
You get some holy oil from inside your spellbook case.
>comb oil with oil
Those items cannot be combined.
>put oil in case
It doesn't appear that some holy oil is the type of item to put in the miscellaneous component compartment.

I can take holy oil out of the case and put it back in, so long as I don't try combining it. Once I try to combine it, it won't fit.

Should you be putting water/oil into a book container anyway? That cant be good for the books =P

Re: Rose Petals, Holy Oil and spellbook cases 12/01/2003 01:03 PM CST
the spellbook cases have seperate partitions for the spellbooks and the water/oil etc...they would never come into contact with each other, unlike stuff that all gets jumbled together in a backpack.

one can figure that the container for miscellaneous objects is waterproof/oilproof, etc.

after all, it can hold naphtha without it going BOOM!

Well if Im not mistaken, Naphtha comes in its own vial doesnt it? So that would explain that. Unless someone sells non-vials of naphtha but from what Ive stolen in Haven its vials of.

Re: Rose Petals, Holy Oil and spellbook cases 12/02/2003 04:40 PM CST

Vials could leak.

By the same logic, runestones would mar the cover, rattles and wands would beat the heck out of it, your scrolls would also get wet etc, etc, etc.

It's compartmentalized. If it helps you any, consider each spellbook compartment to be seperate, waterproofed, padded, lined... whatever :grin: I mean, you can wear a spellbook case while swimming and the contents don't get wet so clearly they're well engineered!

I like my spellbook 01/10/2004 05:44 PM CST
The spellbook has been carefully bound in vykathi carapace, which is painted with a stately Archwizard encircled by a raging maelstrom of ice and lightning. It appears to be in pristine condition and is beaded along the edges with some carved ruby wisps of flame. Bold calligraphy inlaid in exquisite platinum leaf scrawls dramatically over the carapace cover.

A ruby-eyed platinum dragon bloodlock has been attached to the spellbook. The platinum dragon's jaws are closed loosely over the front end of the book, but are not locked.

A black diamond shrike talon socket has been inset in the spellbook's cover, just below the title. A flame red kuldaez crystal rests in the relentless clutches of the black diamond shrike talon.

Inlaid in exquisite platinum leaf over the vykathi carapace cover of the spellbook is the title:

I also have some other crystal for the socket like ES,FB, and LB. Pay 400 plats when the merchant came out now i'll say it's worth a lot more..

I've been looking at logs of prices for spell books. Why did it cost you 400 plats? The beefed up spellbook I'm going to get when the merchant comes back is under 150. And yeah...it's super fancy! And I'm buying lots of ink.

The little things add up...

Getting things like...the platinum leaf inlay for the cover title rather than the silver.. up it a lot more than you'd think.

Some covers didn't up the base cost of 40 plat at all. Some added on quite a lot of money.

40 plat here..

20 there..

50 there..

I remember just some of the beads you could buy for the book's cover could be around 15 plat, and you could put three different beads on at a time. Get the most expensive ones..and suddenly you've spent about 50 plat.

The sockets and the specialized crystals didn't come cheap.

Nor the bloodlocks, ..at least 25 plat, I believe.

Didn't the Writing Pad go for 30 plat, I think?

I think the Healing Reagents and Immortals inserts didn't go less than 10 plat each. Might have been quite a bit more.

It all adds up.

Plus nothing says the prices will stay the same when the merchant comes out. In fact, unless they change the idea that the spellbooks are supposed to be not so common, I could see the prices going up.
