Floating Disk (511)

2024-08-08T18:22:55Z

GS4-YUSRI: Update usage information for casting on gems.

}}
__TOC__
<section begin=description />'''Floating Disk''' can hold objects for a character and will follow the character as he travels.<section end=description /> It has a hard item limit of 8 items (this includes items inside other items) for non-wizards. [[Wizard]]s can increase the item limit by training in [[Elemental Lore, Air]]. Disks also have a hard weight limit of 500 pounds that cannot be increased. Disk descriptions can be changed by holding a gem or through [[attunement]], as described below.

Unlike most spells, floating disk has an indefinite duration. As long as the character remains logged in (and alive) the disk should remain. If a player logs out or is disconnected, the disk will remain around for a few minutes in case the player is able to reconnect. Upon [[death]], or if the player does not reconnect, the disk will vanish and all items will be deposited onto the ground. Any items lost in this manner will not be replaced by staff and players are advised to never place precious items in a disk.

[[AMBUSH (verb)|Ambushers]] sometimes use disks to signal that they are hunting in a stealthy fashion. Thus, if one sees a disk and a creature in the same space, it is quite possible that there is a [[hidden]] ambusher there also. Common courtesy may then suggest that one heeds this.

This spell is commonly found in [[black crystal]]s.

== Usage ==
*{{boldmono|[[INCANT]] 511}} to self-cast a disk.
*{{boldmono|[[PREP]] 511 {{!}} [[CAST]] {player} }}to give someone else a disk or use caster's name as target for a self-cast plain disk.
*{{boldmono|[[PREP]] 511 {{!}} [[CAST]] {gem} }} to self-cast a disk with a specific color. This will consume the gem in the process.

Disks can be {{boldmono|[[OPEN]]}}ed and {{boldmono|[[CLOSE]]}}d. {{boldmono|[[TURN]]}}ing a disk will empty the entire contents onto the ground at once. The spell can be ended via the {{boldmono|[[DISMISS]]}} verb.

== Lore Benefit ==
Training in [[Elemental Lore, Air]] increases a disk's capacity from the base of 8 items by seed 10 [[summation]] of ranks.

|}
<section end=Air_Lore_Disk_Capacity/>

== Changing Disk Descriptions ==
Wizards can cast on certain [[gem]]s or items held on their person while casting this spell to affect the description of the disk. The gem will be lost. If no gem or item is used a somewhat random description will be added to the disk, though a wizard's [[attunement]] has some effect on this. If a wizard would like a plain disk (or has a disk customization unlocked) he should cast the spell at himself instead of just casting in an open manner. Non-wizards will always receive a disk with the plain description no matter the method used (wizard cast, black crystal, scroll, etc.)

{{Announcement

}}
We've released a revamped system for raffles!

You can now see which raffles you have entered with the new <tt>[[Verb:RAFFLE|RAFFLE]]</tt> verb, and <tt>RAFFLE LIST</tt> will now list all known raffles. <tt>RAFFLE HELP</tt> outlines some other options, like viewing the details of a specific raffle from afar and asking a local street urchin to direct you to a specific raffle.

New with this release is the possibility of winning certain raffles while offline or while logged in as another character on your account. Both of these options will limit you to one entry per account (rather than one entry per character), since otherwise people with multiple characters per account have an advantage over people with one character per account. Raffles may now also have various restrictions (such as profession or citizenship requirements) which you must qualify for before being allowed to purchase a ticket.

When encountering a raffle table, you are encouraged to <tt>LOOK TICKET ON TABLE</tt> and carefully pay attention to any restrictions listed.
===tldr===
Updated the raffle system and added a new <tt>[[Verb:RAFFLE|RAFFLE]]</tt> verb.

Floating Disk (511)

2023-10-16T21:03:15Z

GS4-YUSRI: /* Changing Disk Descriptions */ Update gem usage, reference custom disk appearances.

{{spell

}}
__TOC__
<section begin=description />'''Floating Disk''' can hold objects for a character and will follow the character as he travels.<section end=description /> It has a hard item limit of 8 items (this includes items inside other items) for non-wizards. [[Wizard]]s can increase the item limit by training in [[Elemental Lore, Air]]. Disks also have a hard weight limit of 500 pounds that cannot be increased. Disk descriptions can be changed by holding a gem or through [[attunement]], as described below.

Unlike most spells, floating disk has an indefinite duration. As long as the character remains logged in (and alive) the disk should remain. If a player logs out or is disconnected, the disk will remain around for a few minutes in case the player is able to reconnect. Upon [[death]], or if the player does not reconnect, the disk will vanish and all items will be deposited onto the ground. Any items lost in this manner will not be replaced by staff and players are advised to never place precious items in a disk.

[[AMBUSH (verb)|Ambushers]] sometimes use disks to signal that they are hunting in a stealthy fashion. Thus, if one sees a disk and a creature in the same space, it is quite possible that there is a [[hidden]] ambusher there also. Common courtesy may then suggest that one heeds this.

This spell is commonly found in [[black crystal]]s.

== Usage ==
*{{boldmono|[[INCANT]] 511}} to self-cast a disk. Hold a gem in the left hand to change the color.
*{{boldmono|[[PREP]] 511 {{!}} [[CAST]] {target} }}to give someone else a disk or use caster's name as target for a self-cast plain disk.

Disks can be {{boldmono|[[OPEN]]}}ed and {{boldmono|[[CLOSE]]}}d. {{boldmono|[[TURN]]}}ing a disk will empty the entire contents onto the ground at once. The spell can be ended via the {{boldmono|[[DISMISS]]}} verb.

== Lore Benefit ==
Training in [[Elemental Lore, Air]] increases a disk's capacity from the base of 8 items by seed 10 [[summation]] of ranks.

|}
<section end=Air_Lore_Disk_Capacity/>

== Changing Disk Descriptions ==
Wizards can cast on certain [[gem]]s or items held on their person while casting this spell to affect the description of the disk. The gem will be lost. If no gem or item is used a somewhat random description will be added to the disk, though a wizard's [[attunement]] has some effect on this. If a wizard would like a plain disk (or has a disk customization unlocked) he should cast the spell at himself instead of just casting in an open manner. Non-wizards will always receive a disk with the plain description no matter the method used (wizard cast, black crystal, scroll, etc.)

GS4-YUSRI: Fix missing "June" in run dates

[[File:Battle_of_the_Unicorn_and_the_Dragon.jpg|550px|right]]
{{TOCright}}
'''Rumor Woods''' is an expansion to [[Summit Academy]] that was first run in June 2019 and introduced [[mount]]s to Gemstone, along with jousting. Similar to [[Duskruin Arena]], the majority of transactions are handled without [[merchant]] interaction. This event offers the same customization options found during the original runs of Summit Academy and adds the Rumor Woods expansion where players can play games, buy mounts, customize them, and buy gear for themselves or their mounts. To read some of the history of Rumor Woods, visit [[Stories of Rumor Woods]].

==Run Dates==
* <big>'''2023 - June 16, 9pm - June 30, 11:59pm'''</big>
* 2022 - June 10, 9p - June 26, 11:59p
* 2021 - June 11, 9p - June 27, 11:59p
* 2020 - June 19, 9p - June 30, 11:59p
* 2019 - June 1, 12p - June 16, 11:59p

==Features==
===Currency===
The featured currency for Rumor Woods is [[raikhen]] which is used to purchase mounts, mount accessories, and various other goods and/or automated services. It can be earned through jousting, the fox hunt, and the new pixie hunt.

===Activities===
* [[Jousting]] - Those who are interested in jousting must first choose which side they will ride for. They will then don traditional jousting gear, saddle up on their steed of choice, and prepare for battle! Jousting wins will be tallied toward your faction’s total, and once the event ends, those aligned with the winning side will receive not only bragging rights, but new [[Title system#Rumor Woods|titles]] as well!

</ul></div>
* [[Fox Hunt]] - The Fox Hunt is a quick chase to find the cunning fox. Adventurers have 90 seconds to track down the fox to be awarded currency and other prizes! Finding other fauna in Rumor Woods will also come with rewards! Some lucky hunters will be awarded a special '''bugle''' that can be used to summon a new [[fox pet|pet fox]] (initial release 2020).
* [[Pixie Hunt]] - New in 2021. The Pixie Hunt is similar to the original Fox Hunt, but you need to track down a pixie instead. Some lucky hunters will be awarded a special '''morning glory''' that can be used to summon a new [[dragonfly pet|pet dragonfly]].

Chrismarium

2022-10-27T07:08:36Z

GS4-YUSRI: Add note about non-cleric use.

<table><tr valign="top"><td>
A '''chrismarium''' is a clerical tool released at [[Ebon_Gate_Festival|Ebon Gate 2022]] in the store [[EHShop:Derelict_Abbey|Derelict Abbey]] and designed by [[GameMaster|GMs]] [[User:GS4-YUSRI|Yusri]] and [[User:GS4-TIVVY|Tivvy]]. [[Holy_Receptacle_(325)#Tier_4:_Chrism|Chrisms]] created with [[Holy Receptacle (325)]] can be deposited into them to store charges of the chrism effect, which reduces [[Death's Sting]] for dead characters that are resurrected or allows living characters to [[meditate]].

Any character can store chrisms in a chrismarium and use its fluff verbs, but '''POUR'''ing them is subject to the same restrictions as using chrism gems -- namely, it can only be used by clerics of at least level 18 with knowledge of the Raise Dead (318) spell once created. F2P characters must have an active Resurrection Pass to use them successfully on corpses.

The chrismarium aids in inventory management and changes the messaging when applying the chrism effect to one of five styles: Standard, Rude, Reverent, Riant, and Rigid. Messaging style can be selected using an amaranthine certificate from the same store. Customized chrismarium messaging is available as a rare delayed service.

==Analyze==
<pre{{log2}}>You take a closer look at a brushed faenor chrismarium inlaid with ivory alyssum.
You analyze the faenor chrismarium and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
This is a chrismarium, a holy relic that stores the oil and balsam from inside a chrism gem, allowing you to stockpile multiple charges inside for later application to a corpse. While anyone may add chrism oil to it, it may only be used by clerics to apply the chrism effect.

It may be altered but must remain made of metal, and the noun must remain chrismarium.

This chrismarium is at tier 1 out of 5. A skilled merchant might be able to unlock it further.
It will hold a maximum of 20 charges.
It is currently using the "Standard" messaging style.

You can PUSH the chrismarium with a chrism in your other hand to store it within. This destroys the chrism and adds one charge to the chrismarium. The charges within the chrismarium are as effective as the average of all chrism gems absorbed in this fashion.

You can PROD the chrismarium to stop being warned about when chrism's quality would reduce the average of the chrismarium's contents.
These warnings only apply to the 'fullness' of chrisms and none of their other qualities.

You can POUR the chrismarium on a player to grant them its effects, provided you are skilled in using chrisms. You can also POUR it on the ground, which wastes a charge but may be useful if you want to replace the contents with higher-quality chrisms.

Unlocked verbs: PUSH, POUR, LOOK, MEASURE, RUB, PROD
You get no sense of whether or not the chrismarium may be further lightened.</pre>

==Chrism Quality==
Chrismariums maintain a running average of chrisms they have stored -- both in terms of experience retention (determined by [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]]) and recuperation time (determined by the value of the gem prior to being converted to a chrism.) If you add a 90% full chrism worth 6000 silver and a 100% full chrism worth 8000 silver to an empty chrismarium, you will end up with two charges both equivalent to using a 95% full chrism valued at 7000 silver.

You will be prompted for confirmation if storing a chrism would reduce experience retention below the current average unless you have disabled this prompt using the '''PROD''' verb. There is no confirmation if the average value would decrease.

If you '''MEASURE''' a chrismarium, you will receive information about the current chrism quality. Quality information related to the average value (recuperation time) is the same as chrisms. Experience retention messaging matches chrisms as follows:

{| class="wikitable alternating"
!scope="col"|Chrism
!scope="col"|Chrismarium
|-
|role="rowheader" | half full
| diluted to half strength
|-
|role="rowheader" | more than half full
| diluted to more than half strength
|-
|role="rowheader" | three quarters full
| somewhat diluted
|-
|role="rowheader" | almost full
| slightly diluted
|-
|role="rowheader" | full
| pure and undiluted
|}

You can '''POUR''' a chrismarium on the ground to discard a charge of it. This can be useful if you have diluted the contents of it and want to get it back to a pristine state to add full chrisms to it.

See [[Chrism|Chrisms]] for more details on these attributes.

==Chrism Quality==
Chrismariums maintain a running average of chrisms they have stored -- both in terms of experience retention (determined by [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]]) and recuperation time (determined by the value of the gem prior to being converted to a chrism.) If you add a 90% full chrism worth 6000 silver and a 100% full chrism worth 8000 silver to an empty chrismarium, you will end up with two charges both equivalent to using a 95% full chrism valued at 7000 silver.

You will be prompted for confirmation if storing a chrism would reduce experience retention below the current average unless you have disabled this prompt using the '''PROD''' verb. There is no confirmation if the average value would decrease.

If you '''MEASURE''' a chrismarium, you will receive information about the current chrism quality. Quality information related to the average value (recuperation time) is the same as chrisms. Experience retention messaging matches chrisms as follows:

{| class="wikitable alternating"
!scope="col"|Chrism
!scope="col"|Chrismarium
|-
|role="rowheader" | half full
| diluted to half strength
|-
|role="rowheader" | more than half full
| diluted to more than half strength
|-
|role="rowheader" | three quarters full
| somewhat diluted
|-
|role="rowheader" | almost full
| slightly diluted
|-
|role="rowheader" | full
| pure and undiluted
|}

You can '''POUR''' a chrismarium on the ground to discard a charge of it. This can be useful if you have diluted the contents of it and want to get it back to a pristine state to add full chrisms to it.

See [[Chrism|Chrisms]] for more details on these attributes.

Chrism

2022-10-27T05:06:21Z

GS4-YUSRI: see also Chrismarium

The '''Chrism''' gem is the Fourth Tier of the [[Holy Receptacle (325)]] spell, and allows a [[cleric]] to help an individual find greater peace, whether to aid them in recuperation following death (removing some amount of [[Death's Sting]] based on the strength of the chrism gem and speeding the return of [[health]], [[mana]], and [[spirit]]) or for a troubled soul in general (allows a character of any [[profession]] to [[MEDITATE|meditate]] as a cleric, [[empath]], or [[savant]]). Highly sought after in invasions, chrism gems are often considered to represent the pinnacle of a cleric's lore training.
{{TOC limit|2}}
== Requirements ==
To create a chrism gem, a cleric must have:
*An [[orb gem]] with a value > 3000 silver
*25 + X mana: 25 for the spell, X being a variable cost (presumably based on value and lore)
*[[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]]: 10 ranks (50 skill)
*[[Spiritual Lore, Summoning]]: 15 ranks (70 skill)
*[[Spiritual Lore, Religion]]: 25 ranks (105 skill)

Chrism gems can only be used by clerics, but may be used by any cleric of at least level 18 with knowledge of the [[Raise Dead (318)]] spell once created. [[F2P]] characters must have an active [[Simucoin#F2P_Subscription_Items|Resurrection Pass]] to use them successfully on corpses.

==Lore Benefits==
Benefits to chrisms are derived off of ranks of [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]]:

:{| {{prettytable}}
|- align="center"
!align="right"|Spiritual Lore, Blessings ranks||11||13||16||20||25||31||38||46||55||65
|- align="center"
|align="right"|Experience retained||55%||60%||65%||70%||75%||80%||85%||90%||95%||100%
|- align="center"
|align="right"|Gem appearance||half full||more than half full||more than half full||more than half full||three quarters full||three quarters full||almost full||almost full||almost full||full
|}

Due to skill training level limitations, the earliest a cleric can create a 100% experience chrism would be level 51 without [[enhancive item]]s, as the lore training requirements would be 105 ranks total (15 Summoning + 25 Religion + 65 Blessing).

== Creation ==
First you must prep and cast [[Holy Receptacle (325)]] at the gem, then:
;Syntax - <span style="font-variant:small-caps">bless deity common 4 </span>
<pre{{log2}}>>bless deity common 4
You chant a quick prayer and the golden moonstone's outer shell becomes translucent and brittle. A cobalt liquid fills the once solid interior of the golden moonstone.</pre>
;Failure
A critical failure is possible, resulting in the destruction of the gem.
<pre{{log2}}>>bless deity common 4
You chant a quick prayer and the diamond becomes entirely too brittle in your hand, cracks, and blows away in the form of a fine powder.
</pre>
After the Chrism gem has been prepared, {{boldmono|[[LOOK (verb)|LOOKing]]}} at it will reveal the strength of the chrism gem.

;Syntax - <span style="font-variant:small-caps">look (gem)</span>
<pre{{log2}}>>look moonstone
The now translucent outer shell of the almost ''full'' golden moonstone allows you to see the ''ordinary'', cobalt liquid undulating.
</pre>

"Full" denotes a 100% experience chrism (see Lore Benefits above), and "ordinary" denotes a chrism of the second tier of strength (see below) with regards to recovery time after death.

==Strengths==
Depending upon value of the gem used, chrism gems have different effects on minimizing the effects of Death's Sting. These levels determine how much statistic recovery weakness will be mitigated when used on a corpse. There is no cap on the value of the gem used. {{boldmono|LOOK}} at the chrism to see its strength, noted by the words "dull", "ordinary", "bright", "vibrant", or "glowing".

{| {{prettytable}}
|- bgcolor="lightblue"
!Strength||[[Death's Sting]]<br>Initial Stat Loss||[[Death's Sting]]<br>Recuperation Time<br>With Deeds||[[Death's Sting]]<br>Recuperation Time<br>Without Deeds||Gem Value
|-
|No Chrism||40%||10 mins||20 mins||N/A
|-
|Dull||27-30%||7-8 mins||14-15 mins||3,000-4,999
|-
|Ordinary||21-26%||6-7 mins||11-13 mins||5,000-7,999
|-
|Bright||11-20%||3-5 mins||6-10 mins||8,000-12,999
|-
|Vibrant||10% or less||3 mins or less||5 mins or less||13,000+
|-
|Glowing||estimated 0-5%||0-2 mins||0-3 mins||??
|}

''Note: Stats recover at 4% (of total) per minute with a deed or 2% per minute if resurrected without a deed.<br>''
''Note 2: Chrisms of the same "strength" can have different results based on the value of the gem (i.e. a dull chrism worth 3001 silvers causes 30% stat loss and a dull chrism worth 4999 silvers causes 27% stat loss.)<br>''
''Note 3: Recovery times for vibrant and glowing are being investigated and may need to be updated. A vibrant chrism worth just over 13k caused an initial stat loss of 10%. Higher value vibrant and glowing gem data is missing from the above info.''

== Usage ==
Applying a chrism gem is a simple process. If attempting to aid a corpse, simply {{boldmono|[[WAVE (verb)|WAVE]]}} the gem over them before casting [[Raise Dead (318)|Raise Dead]]. When using the gem upon a living character to aid them to a meditative state, one also {{boldmono|WAVE}}s the gem, but with no need to cast any spell.

;Syntax - <span style="font-variant:small-caps">wave (gem) at (target)</span>
<pre{{log2}}>>wave sunstone at XXX
You gingerly crack and wave the red sunstone over XXX's body and a mixture of oil and balsam trickles out of the sunstone, coating XXX with a cobalt blue liquid.
The red sunstone deteriorates into a cobalt powder that disperses into the wind.

Verb:TARGET

2022-06-22T02:46:03Z

GS4-YUSRI: Can now target hazards

'''Target''' is a command to specify something to attack. {{mono|TARGET NEXT}} will specify the next creature to target.

<pre{{log2}}>
Usage: TARGET {player|creature|hazard}
TARGET RANDOM
TARGET NEXT
TARGET CLEAR

Targeting magical hazards will attempt to target the creature that created them. Players cannot be targeted in this fashion.

You do not have a target.
</pre>

Example:<br>
You are in a room fighting a greater faeroth...

You see: a stunned greater faeroth.<br>
A lesser faeroth enters the area!

TARGet FAEroth (this will target the last faeroth to enter the area - the lesser faeroth.)<br>
ATTack (this will attack the active target, the lesser faeroth)

To re-target the greater faeroth (if both are still alive):<br>
TARGet OTHER FAEroth

Note: this command can be used while in [[roundtime]].

Sonic Armor (1014)

2021-03-02T17:43:46Z

GS4-YUSRI: Update for sonic QOL changes

{{spell
| mnemonic = SONICARMOR
| duration = as long as bard<br>sings the spellsong
| type = Defensive
| subtype = Create Armor
| ds = +15 + (SpellSongs/2)
| td = None

| requirements = None
| availability = [[Self-cast]]

__NOTOC__
'''Sonic Armor''' weaves vibrating air and magic around the caster, creating a sonic barrier that effectively acts as magical [[armor]]. The base [[enchant]] is +15. A bonus of +1 is added to the armor's enchant, rounded up, for every two [[Bard Base]] ranks, up to a maximum of +35. Similar to [[Sonic Shield Song (1009)]] and [[Sonic Weapon Song (1012)]], Bard Base ranks known prior to learning the spell count towards the enchant bonus of the armor. Thus, upon learning the spell, a Sonic Armor with an enchant of +22.

In addition, Sonic Armor provides [[resistance]] to heat, cold, and electrical attacks, and is slightly susceptible to [[impact]] attacks. The susceptibility to impact attacks will not change as the Bard gains levels, but the heat, cold, and electrical resistance will improve with further training in the Bard Base circle and [[#Lore Benefit|Elemental Lore, Air]]. There will [[Bard_Base/saved_posts#Sonic_Equipment | always be]] at least one level of crit resistance, minimum. Like real armor, use of Sonic Armor is dependent upon training in [[Armor Use]].

Sonic Armor weighs 25% (truncated) of the standard armor weight (e.g., augmented chain weighs 6 pounds). But since it behaves as armor, the reduction in weight compared to the normal weight of the armor sub group (ASG) is subtracted from carried weight, thus lowering [[encumbrance]]. Heavier ASG's have a greater effect.

==== Renewal Cost ====
5 MP

== Lore Benefit ==

Training in [[Elemental Lore, Air]] will boost the elemental damage resistance provided by the armor to a maximum of 50% (cutoffs unknown at this time).

==Usage==
*{{boldmono|[[PREP]] 1014 {{!}} [[SING]] {ASG #} }} or {{boldmono|[[INCANT]] 1014 {ASG #} }}
:If ASG is unspecified, the song will default to the last armor summoned. If armor has never been summoned before, it will default to full leather (AsG 6)

Sonic Weapon Song (1012)

2021-03-02T17:41:14Z

GS4-YUSRI: Fix bad copypasta from Sonic Shield

{{spell
| mnemonic = SONICWEAPON
| duration = as long as bard<br>sings the spellsong
| type = Attack
| subtype = Create Weapon
| weapon = +10 + (SpellSongs/2)
| enhancement = Flare, second possible
| requirements = None
| availability = [[Self-cast]]

}}
{{TOC limit|2}}
'''Sonic Weapon Song''' is similar to [[Sonic Shield Song (1009)]], except it creates a weapon to be wielded in the right hand. The base [[enchant]] of the weapon is +10 (2x), and is increased by +1 for every two Bard Base circle ranks, up to a maximum bonus of +35; essentially a 7x weapon. Because the spell rank bonus includes all of the ranks prior to learning the spell, and the spell itself, a Sonic Weapon will actually be +16 when the spell is learned (the bonus is also rounded up). Additionally, the bonus provided by spell ranks is '''not''' capped at level.

Training in the appropriate weapon type is required to be successful with using a Sonic Weapon, just as it is required to generate [[attack strength]] with a normal weapon. The exception is a [[runestaff]], for which a bard must train just like a [[pure]] does to receive the appropriate defense.

Elemental [[flares]] of air--using the [[impact critical table]]--are inherent to the weapon when swung at a non-undead opponent. Unlike "normal" elemental flares in more common weapons, the Sonic Weapon can and frequently does flare sequentially, on back-to-back swings. This makes the flares from the song among the most highly regarded flares in [[GemStone]]. Training in [[#Lore Benefit|Elemental Lore, Air]] provides a chance for the weapon to flare a second time.

Sonic weapons will persist for 60 seconds when [[STOW]]ed, and for 60 seconds when [[PUT (verb)|DROPped]]. All Sonic Weapons weigh 1/10 of a pound (16 coins), benefiting [[encumbrance]]. [[Undead]] may be hunted with a non-flaring version of Sonic Weapon at its base bonus of +10; if used as a runestaff the weapon will not flare upon casting at undead targets, either.

<big>'''Renewal Cost'''</big><br>4 [[mana]]

== Usage ==
After preparing the spell,{{boldmono| SING {weapon type} }}. If no weapon type is specified, the last one sung will be used.

Alternatively,{{boldmono| INCANT 1012 {weapon type} }}.

The vast majority of nouns listed in the [http://www.play.net/gs4/info/armory/weapons.asp Weapon Guide] are available through the spellsong, with the most notable exceptions being the [[katana]], [[naginata]], [[claidhmore]], and missile weapons.

==Lore Benefit==

Training in [[Elemental Lore, Air]] provides a chance for the secondary flare to activate of 3% per seed 3 [[summation]] of ranks. This second chance is completely independent of the first, and has distinct messaging when triggered so the bard will know whether the weapon has flared the "first" time or the "second" time if there is only one flare. Unlike other benefits based on the summation chart, the seed 3 thresholds indicate 3% thresholds, but the benefit is provided continuously; each rank trained adds to the chance to flare.

::''Benefits are per rank''

==Behind the Scenes: Tactical Considerations==

Common thinking about Sonic Weapons typically revolves around the flares: use the smallest, fastest weapon possible and maximize the damage (and/or additional results such as stuns, severed limbs, or death) from the flares. To this end, [[brawling]] weapons and small [[edged]] or [[Blunt Weapons|blunt]] weapons--daggers, short swords, cudgels, etc.--are typically selected for use.

Large, slow weapons of the [[Two-Handed Weapons|two-handed]] or [[Polearm Weapons|polearm]] types do benefit from the increased [[enchant]] of knowing more spellsongs, and do have the flares; however, the primary benefit of those weapon styles lies in the raw initial damage being dealt by the weapon itself rather than the flares. Some of the brawling weapons can be swung twice in the same time it takes to swing a larger weapon once, which would be a total of four chances for flares rather than only two.

Bards choosing the route of spellcaster (usually after 30th level/gaining Disruption/1030) can also make excellent use of the song as a runestaff. Only single-target versions of spells will work--Unravel/1013 can cause one or both of the flares, but neither Depression/1015 nor (open) Disruption/1030 will, because area-of-effect spells should not flare--but they can cause flares even if their normal effect is nullified; casting Vibration Chant/1002 at a target with neither a weapon nor a shield, for example.

Sonic Shield Song (1009)

2021-03-01T17:53:17Z

GS4-YUSRI: Add sonic QOL changes and the missing krytze noun.

{{spell
| mnemonic = SONICSHIELD
| duration = As long as the Bard<br> is singing the song
| type = Defensive
| subtype = Create Shield
| ds = +10 base + (SpellSongs/2)
| td = None
| enhancement = base shield bonus
| availability = [[Self-cast]]
| navigation = {{Bard base navigation}}
}}
__NOTOC__
'''Sonic Shield Song''' creates a [[shield]] made from pure air, wielded in the left hand. The base [[enchant]] of the shield is +10 (2x), and is increased by +1 for every two Bard Base circle ranks, up to a maximum bonus of +35; essentially a 7x shield. Because the spell rank bonus includes the initial 8 ranks prior to learning the spell, and the spell itself, a Sonic Shield will actually be +15 when the spell is learned (the bonus is also rounded up). Additionally, the bonus provided by spell ranks is '''not''' capped at level.

Training in [[Shield Use]] is required for a bard to be successful in using a Sonic Shield, just as it is required to generate [[DS|defense]] with a normal shield.

The default shield size sung is a medium size, but other sizes (small, medium, large, and tower) may also be sung. If you have previously sung a different type of shield, that shield will be remembered in future casts.

Sonic shields will persist for 60 seconds when [[WEAR (verb)|worn]], and for 60 seconds when [[PUT (verb)|DROPped]]. All Sonic Shields weigh 1/10 of a pound (16 coins), meaning the bard will be less [[encumbrance]]d than with a normal shield.

====Renewal Cost====
4 [[mana]]

== Lore Benefit ==
Training in [[Elemental Lore, Air]] reduces the shield hindrance penalty when evading an attack. Starting at 20 ranks, a Sonic Shield will be considered one size smaller for hindrance purposes. While at 50 ranks, the Sonic Shield will be considered 2 sizes smaller. And finally, at 100 ranks, a Sonic Shield will be considered to be three sizes smaller. Essentially, this means that a bard with 100 ranks of Air Lore could use a sonic tower shield and only receive the hindrances associated with a small shield.

== Usage ==
After preparing the spell,{{boldmono| SING {shield type} }}. If no shield type is specified, the last one sung will be used.

Alternatively,{{boldmono| INCANT 1009 {shield type} }}.
