Greater elemental flare

Greater elemental flares are a rare specialty flare script that can be placed on flaring weapons to give the chance at an additional double-flare. In combat, the weapon has a standard (Category B) elemental flare, a chance to flare with the scripted double-flare alone, and, if these chances align, can flare with both the standard flare and the scripted double-flare at the same time. The script also has a few verbs with special messaging, and an effect that can be evoked to temporarily turn the user's eyes a specific color based on the flare type. This service takes up both the primary (flare) and script slots on a weapon. The script was first introduced by GM Voraviel in 2003. In 2014, GM Wyrom announced an update that allowed its use with UCS equipment and runestaves, added vacuum/gravity flares, and generally improved the script functionality and user-friendliness.

Weapons with Greater Elemental flares have been released over the years at events like Droughtman's Challenge and Duskruin Arena. The August 2017 run of Duskruin introduced a certificate to upgrade a flaring weapon to greater flares in the high-end scrip shop. Automated certificates for this service have been sold in Duskruin's The Annex shop. You analyze the greater element envelope and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions. The creator has also provided the following information: Your envelope is used to unlock the potential of things held in your other hand or on your person. A multicolored greater element envelope grants the Greater Elemental Flares (GEF) script to an eligible weapon. DETAILS: > Weapons must be unscripted, with the exception of Lesser Moods, and non-flaring or already possess a supported flare. > Non-flaring weapons must have a supported flare added for 15,000 bloodscrip at the time of redemption. > Use TURN [to #] to toggle the desired flare for non-flaring weapons. Currently: Cold (1) Cold (4) Lightning (2) Fire (5) Steam (3) Impact (6) Vacuum You need only RAISE your envelope while holding a compatible item in your other hand or on your person. Your envelope may not be altered or changed in any way. You get no sense of whether or not the envelope may be further lightened.
