Subject: Greater Elemental Flares Update

These will go live sometime before CCF. But Greater Elemental Flares have had a face lift.

First of all, you can use them with UCS Equipment and runestaves now. The messaging throughout the script has been cleaned up. There is a new option of Vacuum/Gravity flares. You can analyze them, click them, and use Elemental Detection (405) on them. They don't have a custom loresong. When your eyes are changed over with them, you will now be messaged when that drops. There will be a new (fluff) verb added and will depend on your attuned element matching the weapons. Gravity will require your element to be random.

Rhimar - Ice Flaring

Gornar - Earth Flaring

Drakar - Fire Flaring

Zorchar - Lightning Flaring

So the script is compatible with those base metals because the flares are appropriate for the script.

Flare Choices are:

+ Fire

+ Ice

+ Lightning

+ Earth (Vibration)

+ Air (Steam)

+ Gravity (Vacuum)

So as long as the weapon has one of those flares, it's compatible with the script.
