EBladed Weapon Messages

If no one objects here, then soon, I will be putting the following messaging into the main article. It will help bards and other people shopping at the pawnshop to really understand and be able to identify an E-Bladed weapon. There is a lot of confusion concerning these weapons. Please say if you think this is too much to put in the article. The results of our testing today:

Air Flares

>look my runestaff
The runestaff is surrounded by a scintillating white light.

You sense that the runestaff has a magical enhancement of its ability to hit, and will deliver intermittent blasts of air.

>loresing (verse 4)
The harmonics generated tell you that the runestaff has been temporarily infused with elemental air.

>attack rolton
You swing a runestaff at a rolton!
  AS: +161 vs DS: +18 with AvD: +10 + d100 roll: +4 = +157

I could make a table of all this information, however, having the actual messaging helps a lot. The table that is currently in the article is fine to leave as-is I think. It is just confusing to some people and I hope this additional information will help to clarify. Thanks for the input about this, and to Polveiss for the awesome testing. -Soliere FIRENSIA (talk) 09:47, 24 December 2019 (CST)

Inconsistencies or the wiki is missing key information

I have been frustrated on many occasions to find that elemental blade does not always work and this leads me to feel that perhaps there is some sort of hidden skill check or perhaps that certain properties on a weapon can cause an eblade attempt to fail.

On occasion my mage even fails to eblade a weapon a short time after successfully eblading it when the current eblade has expired and the weapon has not been altered or cast on in any other way.

I will try to see if I can figure out ways to find out where the inaccuracy lies but if anyone has already explored this and has an answer then please say.

Ok, Urvo has helped me figure this out. The problem was that although my wizard was attuned to water they were not set to automatically use it via ATTUNE ELEMENT therefore sometime she was trying to eblade using the wrong element. I may update the wiki page to reflect this as it may save others frustration.
