<<Noticed this in LINKZY's log. I haven't played a warmie with any seriousness for about three years and now I'm noticing people with that ability occasionally. What is it, what's it do, all that rot?

It is a spell prep messaging people can get if they purchase the ability in Throne City. The library is open during the day and it costs 10 plat for WMs and 50 plat for people who are not WMs. There are three WM messages, the frost one, fire, and electrical.

I think this is one of merchant ones...

To learn a spell prep doesn't take TDP's but to forget a spell you have learned or gain another spell slot does.

I heard the formula is PM-100 /2 + 200 for the TPDs cost on buying spell slots. The plat cost is a flat 10 plat lirums.

Got that off the crossing gweth one day I hope it's not giving anything away.

Erm...

The correct formula is

(PM + 100)/2 + 200 with a minimum amount of 200 TDPs.

Kalyra did the hard work of actually trying it and I did the minor number crunching to get correct formula. I know this correct version has been posted before, figure mine as well be correct this time too though.

>(PM + 100)/2 + 200 with a minimum amount of 200 TDPs.

Uh. No it is (PM - 100). If it was '+', the minimum would be 250. (0+100)/2 + 200 = 50 + 200 = 250.

Buying a spell costs [200 + ((PM-100)/2)] tdps, +100 tdps if you've already purchased one, with a minimum of 200.

You're wrong. According to your formula you're about 100 TDPs off for what it cost Kalyra.

Mine is right on. Did you actually test your formula out before you posted or are you just running your mouth and confusing the issue?

Tessaa, I don't expect you to be able to do math, so my post wasn't directed to you.

You state: (PM + 100)/2 + 200.

That can be simplified to: (PM/2) + 250 TDPs. How then does one reach the 200 TDPs you also state is the minimum?

And yes, considering I bought a spellslot, and it followed the correct formula, which has been tested by others, and posted in the general magic folder before, perhaps it is you who needs to stop running his mouth. I can understand it is difficult for you to not create drama now that the BMs have gave you your final warning to stop spamming the boards with GvG, but please refrain starting conflicts in non-conflict folders.

I was incorrect on posting the minimum.

>I can understand it is difficult for you to not create drama now that the BMs have gave you your final warning to stop spamming the boards with GvG

Huh?

>Perhaps Kalyra had bought a previous slot, and incurred the extra 100 TDP cost for #2+ that was included?

Copy/paste from IM...

DoinkDISfc: any chance you bought a previous slot?
War Witch DR: nope

So this is what I know:
1) I know that for at least one case my version works.
2) I know that for at least one case yours does not.
3) I know that I don't care enough to keep arguing about it.
