battlecry

With the use of the battlecry command, a few classes can set the phrase which will be yelled when he or she uses certain skills.

BATTLECRY CLEAR will remove the previously designated battlecry, and a default for the skill will be used.

BATTLECRY will display your current designated battlecry. If one is not designated, a default battlecry will be used by the relevant skill.

Erase

Syntax

erase

This command allows a person to erase a mystic figure that has been inscribed in a room.

Exsanguinate

Syntax

exsaguinate <target corpse>

See also

materials, inscribe, bleed, debone

This command is used to extract blood from a corpse. A glass vial will be needed to store the blood properly. The undead are bloodless. The blood could be drank, though the vials are not large.

For someone to extract blood from themself, the BLEED command is used.

Groupcast

cost: 35 mana
syntax: groupcast <spell>
        gc <spell>
        groupcast cancel

Groupcasting is a technique used by scholars and templar who wish to automatically apply certain spells to their groupmates. While slightly more expensive, it can often be worth the automation to ensure the caster doesn't miss anyone in his/her group. Groupcast cycles through the group members in the room, casting the spell on each in turn. There is no speed bonus - this is not a group-effect variant of the spell like communion is to bless. In order to groupcast a given spell, the caster must have mastered it.

NB: For a two-word spell like giant growth, do NOT use 'giant growth' - use giant growth. (For some reason I am unable to get it to parse 'giant growth')

For a list of groupcastable spells, see HELP GCSPELLS.

Groupcast spells:

aquatic movement
armor
bless
clarity
fly
fortify
frenzy
giant growth
giant strength
immolation
infravision
invisibility
shield
water breathing
water walk
zeal

For more information on groupcasting, see HELP GROUPCAST.

Overpercent

See also

favored blade, devotion

Overpercent refers to having more than 100% in a weapon skill. Two classes, swordmaster and earth templar, receive abilities which allow them to attune to a weapon and gain overpercent in it. When using such a weapon, any attack or defense that uses that weapon skill in its calculations receives a bonus. This bonus may affect a wide variety of things to varying degrees, but the effect will always be positive. Effective percent in a weapon skill will never exceed 133%.

Spiritrecall

Syntax

spiritrecall

See also

help rune of spirit

Reaching out through the elemental plane of spirit, mages of that sphere may latch onto a previously-marked rune of spirit and pull themselves and any groupmembers currently in the room with them to the location of the rune.

Void Symbols

Both scholars and templars of the Void gain the use of the inscribe command, and with that the knowledge of three basic symbols: the pentagram of summoning, the trigon of binding, and the circle of protection.

A pentagram of summoning must be present in order for a void scholar to cast the summon spell.

Trigons of binding ease casting of certain void scholar spells such as demilich, spectre, blacklight, and grave maw, but are primarily employed by templars for their binding rituals. Most binding rituals require specific reagents to be used, keyed to appeal to the intended demon.

Circles of protection are used to key the planar barrier spell to ward the spheres of magic; the material chosen will impact which sphere is warded.

Void scholars may also come across other symbols in their travels. The locations of these symbols must typically be intuited by the scholar, but are typically in old places of power, with a deep connection to the Void. However, the Void guilds are known for taking care of their own, and can likely be expected to provide their students with some insights in this direction.

Upon finding a place where they think a symbol might be, a Void scholar will typically use the study command to learn the symbol; if an alternate means of learning should be required, matters will be made clear in that location.
