Immolation (519)

2015-09-12T16:52:31Z

OBSERVER: Added a direct link to Immolation's entry on the lore chart.

{{spell
| mnemonic = IMMOLATION
| type = Attack
| duration = Instantaneous
| subtype = [[Warding]]
| target = Single individual
| interval = One-shot
| dtype = [[Hitpoint]]
| status = None
| ctype = [[Fire critical table|Fire]]
| navigation = {{Major elemental navigation}}
}}

This spell releases incredible destruction by fire when the target fails a warding roll.

There is a chance of a flat-out incineration kill on a target using Immolation, enhanced further by training in [[Elemental Lore, Fire]]. If the target was not incinerated, the damage done by the flames is greater with training Fire Lore. This will increase the chance of the initial burst of the flame being focused on one area, causing more critical damage. See [[Lore chart#519]] for specific information regarding Elemental Lore, Fire's benefits to Immolation.

Piercing Gaze (416)

2015-09-12T13:11:12Z

OBSERVER: embedded a link to glyph traps within the explanation of the spell's workings.

{{Spell
| mnemonic = PIERCEGAZE
| custdur = {{spellbox instant | }}
| span = [None
| type = Utility
| subtype = None
| skill = None
| components = None
| availability = All
| navigation = {{minor elemental navigation}}
}}

'''Piercing Gaze''' allows the caster to attempt to peer into, behind, or under all sorts of containers.

There are several factors that contribute to the spell's success, which includes: [[Perception]] skill ranks, [[Minor Elemental]] spell ranks, [[Intuition]] bonus, [[Logic]] bonus, and the spell [[Disarm Enhancement (404)|Disarm Enhancement]], which also takes [[Aura]] into account.

Be warned, many containers have a natural resistance to the spell due to the nature of the way the container was created or from the material it was created from, such as [[mithril]] or being enruned.

The spell of Piercing Gaze can trigger [[Traps#Glyph|Glyph]] traps, which warp the caster to an area which can be time intensive to escape. However, triggering this trap does not physically harm the caster or affect any other characters in the room. No other traps can be triggered by the casting of this spell.

==Lore Benefit==
Training in [[Elemental Lore, Water]] will provide a chance of [[skill bonus]]/4 to show [[Unlock (407)]] and [[Disarm (408)]] success messaging (the messaging for Disarm to work will only be displayed if the caster has discovered the trap).

Piercing Gaze (416)

2015-09-12T13:07:04Z

OBSERVER: Reworded the warning about triggering traps. Piercing Gaze can only trigger glyph traps, which only affects the caster and is not a danger to anyone else in the room.

Rapture cloak

2015-09-11T03:20:51Z

OBSERVER: Moved the loresong description to its place on the numbered list, deleted the section saying the cloak didn't have a loresong.

I saw a couple of people asking what the rapture cloak was. Here is the info I have...

~Mikoguchi Chydenar, Jackal Corps.

1: Basic Name - a black rapture cloak

2: Show - The black rapture cloak is not just black, it appears to absorb all light that comes near it leaving it nondescript and indiscernible.

3: [[Loresong]] - You detect that the black rapture cloak was created by a truely evil craftsman from pure darkness. You are nearly overwhelmed by the strength of the evil foreboding the cloak portends. You feel massive amounts of your mana being drained into the black rapture cloak!

4: Details - Various messaging dealing with darkness, and foreboding evil...

<<Setzier pulls his black rapture cloak in close, protecting him from the light.

<<Setzier throws his black rapture cloak open wide, spraying rays of blackness as the dark haze enshrouding him disperses.

<<Setzier spreads his black rapture cloak wide, sending dark waves rippling through the area.

<<Setzier slowly runs his hand down his black rapture cloak, causing ripples of pure darkness to roll outward.

<<Setzier wraps his black rapture cloak around himself, causing a dark haze to enshroud him.

<<Eyes on the clasp of Setzier's black rapture cloak flare red as he locks it tightly.

<<Eyes on the clasp of Setzier's black rapture cloak flare red as he unlocks it.

Once worn, it cannot be removed. At least, I don't think it can, as it's been years since I've had it and have tried numerous ways. Even the constable doesn't remove it. If you have items within it, and keep it open/unlocked, the constable will remove all the items out of the cloak, and let you keep the cloak. Guess I'll never be able to go streaking again (like I ever did in the first place!)

5: Where I obtained it: I bought it from a Great Bazaar Auction, where the auctioneer said that it was donated by some Sheruvian Monks.
