Blink weapons were sold at the Ebon Gate 2009 auction. The blink weapon script was added to existing weapons at Return to Coraesine Field.

Original Items
  • a mithglin mace
  • a mithglin handaxe
  • a mithglin battle axe

At the August 2015 Duskruin Arena auction, Lahke said, "You'll likely never see this ability be offered to existing equipment ever again, just putting that out there." At the June 2018 Duskruin Arena High-end Scrip Shop, this ability was offered to existing equipment.

Description

  • Not infused: A tiny golden eyelid, which is open, is inlaid into the bottom of the pommel.
  • Infused: A tiny golden eyelid, which is open, is inlaid into the bottom of the pommel, and a faint blue flicker dances around the weapon.

A willing merchant should be able to add base description, long description, or show description alterations to these weapons.

Properties

  • 5x (The original auction releases were 5x mithglin. As of RtCF 2013, there exists the possibility of the Blink ability being added to weapons that do not match the original release qualities).
  • Teleportation: By poking the weapon, the eye set into the pommel will blink, sending the wielder into an adjacent room. This ability can be used six times a day. Touching the weapon 24 hours after the final charge is expended resets the charges.
  • Blessable: Because the infusion flares are script-based, the blink weapons are able to be blessed.
  • Enchant/Ensorcell: 2013 updates have enabled these spells to be usable with Blink weapons. 405 is also usable to determine the enchant/ensorcell status of said weapons.
  • Spell infusion: The weapon can be infused with an offensive spell that the wielder is capable of learning without the benefit of spell knowledge enhancements. A sorcerer can infuse Mana Disruption (702) in a weapon, but if a Paladin wields it, it will not flare. The infusion of one spell will last until another spell is cast at the weapon and is accomplished by the use of the CAST verb. High level spells may take multiple attempts before the infusion succeeds. Flares draw no mana from the wielder.
Flare Rate
The more spell ranks the wielder has above the level of the infused spell (in the same spell circle), the higher the flare rate. Thus a wielder with 30 spell ranks in a particular circle would have a higher frequency of flares infusing a 2nd level spell than a 30th level spell. GM confirmed
Wyrom: It's a pretty big formula, I'll just share it. But it's basically looking for a few things. If you know the spell, if so it looks at how many ranks in that circle you have above the spell level. If you don't know the spell, but can learn it, and have learned spells. If you don't know the spell, but can learn it, and don't know any spells. It does some math here that basically results in a best case situation of 20% flare chance.
