'''Step 11'''

The '''Symbol of Sleep''', governed by Lord [[Ronan]], is obtained at the eleventh step of the [[Order of Voln]]. This symbol can be used, as either a single target (targeted version) or mass disabling attack (untargeted version), against both [[Undead|undead]] and living creatures. The mass disabling version (untargeted) of this symbol '''does not''' affect player characters in the room. However, player characters can be 'slept' with the targeted version. Symbol of Sleep uses the [[Standard success resolution system|Standard Success Resolution System]] to detemine success or failure.

==Syntax==
Type:<br>
Symbol of Sleep (by itself for the mass untargeted version)<br>
Symbol of Sleep <target> (for the single targeted version)

==Messaging==

Initial cast (first person):

<div {{log}}>sym of sleep<br>
You draw a glowing pattern in the air before you.
A wraith's eyes roll up into its head as it slumps to the ground.<br></div>

Wearing off (first person):

<div {{log}}>The wraith slowly comes back to consciousness.</div>

A '''Targeted''' Player sees:
<div {{log}}>Voln Member draws a glowing pattern in the air before you.<br>
Your thoughts drift off to a battle field where a lone figure, bedecked in battle worn armor, sends wave after wave of undead to a more peaceful eternity.</div>

Wearing off a '''Targeted''' Player:

<div {{log}}>Your thoughts slowly come back to you as you find yourself lying on the ground. You must have been sleeping.</div>

An '''Untargeted''' Player sees:
<div {{log}}>Voln Member draws an intricately glowing pattern in the air before you.</div>

==Symbol Effects==

Causes target/targets to fall asleep, temporarily disabling them from engaging in combat and reducing their ability to defend themselves.

==Favor Cost==
{{Spoiler}}

The base [[favor]] cost for Symbol of Sleep is dependent on the member's level (not member's rank). See [[Favor#Symbol Use Favor Cost|Table]] for specific examples.

When there is one creature in the room, only the base cost applies for both targeted and untargeted versions. The untargeted (mass attack) version's favor cost increases when more than one creature is present. With two creatures present the cost doubles. Each additional creature, greater than two, adds approximately 1/2 base cost. Although more than 8 creatures can be affected by the untargeted version, the favor cost is capped at 8 creatures.

Example for a level 20 member with 5 creatures present.
*Base cost at level 20 is 58 favor.

<tt>Base Cost × 3.5 = favor cost (5 creatures)</tt>
<tt>58 × 3.5 = 286 favor</tt>

Example for a level 100 member with 10 creatures present.
*Base cost at level 100 is 435 favor.

<tt>Base Cost × 5 = favor cost (10 creatures)</tt>
<tt>435 × 5 = 2174 favor</tt>

Note: Because of rounding the actual cost will be slightly different than the formula result. Sym Sleep when activated against 8 or more creatures has the same favor cost as one [[Symbol of Return]] use.

===Favor Required to Obtain Symbol of Sleep===

'''Formula: <tt>1000 + (( level<sup>2</sup> × 20 ) ÷ 3 )</tt>'''

Ex. level 10 member: <tt>1000 + ((10 × 10 × 20) ÷ 3) = 1666 favor</tt>

Ex. level 20 member: <tt>1000 + ((20 × 20 × 20) ÷ 3) = 3666 favor</tt>

Symbol of Recall

2021-01-17T01:29:52Z

BALLA8:

{{Order of Voln navigation}}
'''Symbol of Recall''', governed by Lady [[Lorminstra]], is obtained at the tenth step of the [[Order of Voln]]. Use of this symbol is restricted to characters who are [[Death|dead]]. It will call upon Lorminstra for a boon when you are restored to life after resurrection or a natural decay. These benefits will not be received if a member voluntarily [[DEPART (verb)|departs]].

Upon returning to life, you will be returned some measure of your native and non-native spells. This happens in different ways. For native spells, you will receive one free cast of all spells known to you similar to one cast of {{boldmono|[[MANA SPELLUP]]}}. For non-native spells, you will receive a restoration of up to 10-20 foreign spells that were present on you at the time of death, using whatever duration and magnitude they possessed prior to your death.

==Spell Active Display==

<div {{log}}>spell active<br>
You currently have the following active spells:<br>
Symbol of Recall .................0:09:55</div>

==Favor Cost==

[[Favor]] cost is based on the member's level. See [[Favor#Symbol Use Favor Cost|Table]] for specific examples. It has a relative favor cost of 4x [[Symbol of Protection]].
