'''Black ora weapons''' were originally released during the 2005 [[Wavedancer]] event. The first two released were ''a black ora longsword'' and ''a black ora maul''. These weapons are permanently cursed, give a bonus to [[mana point regeneration]] and [[wisdom]], and give a penalty to [[spirit regeneration]]. They are sometimes called ''pure black ora weapons''.
'''Black ora weapons''' were originally released during the 2005 [[Wavedancer]] event. These weapons are also known as Pure Black Ora weapons and Unholy Weapons. The first two released were ''a black ora longsword'' and ''a black ora maul''. There have been other [[/notable|notable black ora weapons released]] including at the [[Ebon_Gate_2009_auction_list|Ebon Gate 2009 auction]], [[Return to Coraesine Field]] 2013, and the [[Great Auction of 2016]].


The permanent cursing means that upon holding the weapon (retrieving it from a scabbard, another player, etc.) the user has just a few seconds to deal with the weapon before the shadows surrounding it wrap around their hand and need to have the curse neutralized before [[STOW (verb)|stowing]], [[DROP (verb)|dropping]], or [[GIVE (verb)|giving]] the weapon. The curse may be neutralized by pouring a dose of a [[pure potion]] or other potion (usually from special events) that contains the spell [[Neutralize Curse (309)]] or [[Remove Curse (315)]], or by having Neutralize Curse or Remove Curse cast on them in some way. Because of its evil nature, black ora will backlash against its wielder if they attempt to use it to attack an undead creature. A backlash will likewise occur if anyone attempts to cast [[Bless (304)]] on the weapon. Successfully bonding with [[Holy Weapon (1625)]] will cause it to be marked as [[sanctified]], but it will still backlash if used to attack the undead.

Major black ora weapons have all the same features but additionally can be attended once per day to teleport the user to a preset location. Major weapons are usually distributed with a +30 or above bonus, while minor weapons are normally distributed with a +20 or +25 bonus. <!-- This spot reserved for informational blurb for item.

===Flares===
Black ora has special flares, including some that seem to use the [[disruption critical table]]. The [[flare]] rate is approximately 25%- which is higher than the standard flare rate of ~15%. Because the flares are script-based, these weapons have their special properties slot open and can accept another set of flares or weighting provided they do not take up the primary script slot.

Revision as of 21:07, 10 January 2021

Black ora weapons were originally released during the 2005 Wavedancer event. These weapons are also known as Pure Black Ora weapons and Unholy Weapons. The first two released were a black ora longsword and a black ora maul. There have been other notable black ora weapons released including at the Ebon Gate 2009 auction, Return to Coraesine Field 2013, and the Great Auction of 2016.

These weapons are permanently cursed, give a bonus to mana point regeneration and wisdom, and give a penalty to spirit regeneration. The permanent curse means that upon holding the weapon (retrieving it from a scabbard, another player, etc.) the user has just a few seconds to deal with the weapon before the shadows surrounding the weapon wrap around the character's hand. Once this happens, the character needs to have the curse neutralized before stowing, dropping, or giving the weapon. The curse may be neutralized by pouring a dose of a pure potion or other potion (usually from special events) that contains the spell Neutralize Curse (309) or Remove Curse (315), or by having either spell cast on them.

Because of its evil nature, black ora will backlash against its wielder if they attempt to use it to attack an undead creature. A backlash will likewise occur if anyone attempts to cast Bless (304) on the weapon. Successfully bonding with Holy Weapon (1625) will cause it to be marked as sanctified, but it will still backlash if used to attack the undead.

Pure black ora come in two varieties, minor and major. Minor weapons are more readily available and have all the features as described. Major black ora weapons have all the same features but additionally can be attended once per day to teleport the user to a preset location. Major weapons are usually distributed with a +30 or above bonus, while minor weapons are normally distributed with a +20 or +25 bonus.

Flares

Black ora has special flares, including some that seem to use the disruption critical table. It has been reported by players that the flare rate is approximately 25%, which is higher than the standard flare rate of approximately 15%.
