__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 base item limit of 8 items (this includes items inside other items). Players 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.

Disk can be cast at others, but this will always produce a base item disk (a limit of 8 items). Air lore only applies if the disk is self-cast. If casting disk at yourself (a wizard casting it, or via a [[black crystal]], or any other way), the usual rules apply: If using a magic item or scroll, because this is a spell from a major list, half of the activator's lore ranks are applied.

Locked treasure chests count as 1/3 (rounded up) for item count storage capacity. Character locked treasure chests do not receive this benefit.

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 150 seconds (2 minutes, 30 seconds) 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.)

<small>(<i>Theory: Without using gems, attuned wizards have a propensity to get certain disks. To wit: air=translucent, fire=fiery red, water=icy blue, earth=earth brown, lightning=sparkling. A randomly attuned wizard can get all five.</i>)

Cysaegir

2026-07-23T17:07:13Z

MAGNANIMUS: Cysaegir DOES have lockers.

[[Image:Cysaegir (wiki).png|thumb|right|Cysaegir map by Tsoran, updated by Arianiss on 1/8/23.<br>There is also an alternate Lich mapdb version: https://gswiki.play.net/File:Cysaegir_(mapdb).png]]

'''Cysaegir''' is a small [[Illistim]]-built town found off [[Whistler's Pass]]. Formerly named Glimae'den, it had been abandoned for some time when the [[Aelotoi]] arrived in [[Elanthia]] in the year 5103. [[Myasara Illistim]], wanting to help them along in their new lives in Elanthia, had the town cleaned up and reinhabited, and then gave it to the aelotoi. The name Cysaegir means "Sanctuary" in the aelotoi language, and it was named such as it represents the first true safe haven they have ever known. It is now inhabited by the aelotoi and a number of elves who run the shops and other services of the town.

The town itself is found in a lush forest, and portions of it are actually located in the [[Treetop Platform|treetops]]. It is rather small, but offers most standard town services, including [[citizenship]] available to all races, an inn, a bank, and lockers.

Due to the Aelotoi's recent arrival on Elanthia, they do not bear the same prejudices and stereotypes of the various races of Elanthia as the elves. Hence, Cysaegir is accommodating towards all races, offering fair prices towards non-elves.

==NPCs==
The following automated NPCs reside in [[Cysaegir]].

* [[a cheery clerk]]
* [[a cheerful workshop foreman]]
* [[a clerk (Cysaegir)|a clerk]]
* [[a dark-haired young woman]]

* [[a leathery old woman]]
* [[an Aelotoi clerk]]
* [[an attentive warehouse manager]]
* [[an old aelotoi woman]]
* [[an opaline blue swallowtail butterfly]]
* [[Hihaeim]]

Greater krynches have a [[Krynch maneuver (saved post)|rolling boulder]] [[Creature maneuver|maneuver]]. Non-visible targets of the roll will receive a significant bonus to avoiding the maneuver. Critical failures will result in partial immobility and stance reduction, and will last for the duration of the roundtime. The maneuver is performed on occasion when the krynch moves from room to room.

A greater krynch curls its form into a massive boulder, and the boulder begins to move, quickly gaining momentum!
With a quick leap to the side, you narrowly avoid being crushed as the boulder carries past! The boulder comes to a sudden stop and rises into the form of a greater krynch!

Its skin is actually a gem--a luminescent silvery boulder opal. Unlike most creatures, it requires a blunt weapon to skin.
