It's my understanding that there are fans sold in the premie shops that work magical devices? If so would anyone care to sell me one, providing I can afford one? Thanks.
Ok, my empath I think can afford a ball park figure of 1.5 plat. But this is for my cleric. I swear, other than a moon mage clerics seem to need an insane amount of magic.

Anybody know if the carved sandalwood fans used to work magical devices have a limited number of uses (like charges) and then break or fail to work.. or are they unlimited?
Re: The Carved Sandalwood Fans 04/26/2007 04:17 PM CDT
They have a limited number of uses, but I think they're more like the color wands. Instead of crumbling away like a runestone they just stop working and become a normal item. I seem to recall that it was unavoidable, but I'm not exactly sure if that's part of the TAP or not.

I believe there is a message that occurs occasionally while tapping involving a puff of smoke. That's a charge being used... I have no idea how many charges they start with.

If you're just tapping for MD, they do wear out. If you're using them for the spell they have a limited number of uses then are dead. As far as tapping, the messaging has to do with wisps of smoke or something like that. They will burn out faster as you get more MD up till they stop teaching, which I THINK is around 50-60 ranks.

It seems to be a function of concentration; my gnome with 20 int/wis/disc was blowing through one every 5-10 ranks when he reached 40 (one at 45, one at 50, one at 55, then realllllyyyyyy hard to get to 60).

Yes they can no longer be bought from an npc shop in the game, but they can still be obtained from players who already had them. I have one now, I just can't get it to work. Is it strictly because i'm a commoner, is it because not only did they remove it from being purchasable in-game but they also disabled its abilities? Are the charges spent? Is it That broken?
All of this aside, what were the verbs associated with it?

They probably never converted them, and will never convert them, because of the way that they were used. Learning by constantly failing is a little silly.
Re: The Carved Sandalwood Fans 06/30/2015 01:44 PM CDT
They are that broken.
Initially, "never converted" meant the fans used an old identifier value for a spell that no longer pointed to anything, but at this point I think the fans are also missing some values that allow the system to interact with them as magic items at all.
My understanding is that the fan still tries to work, but none of the magic code it used to plug into exists anymore.
