Magic Sling

Magic Slings are runestaff sheaths created by GM Sindin and sold at Duskruin in Art of Lore. Slings have four possible tiers. Tiers 1 and 2 were available in the June 2018 shop and Tier 3 was released in the December 2018 shop. Types include: Elemental magic using elemental lore Mental magic using mental lore Spiritual maging using spiritual lore Sorcery using sorcery lore Tier 1 Per Thandiwe, each tier of the runestaff unlocks an additional potential message for at least some of the verbs. At Tier 1, for example, one message is available for PUT/SHEATH/STOW/DROP. At Tier 2, two messages become available for PUT/SHEATH/STOW/DROP, with a 50% chance of either message being displayed. Analyze You analyze the runestaff sling and sense that the creator has provided the following information: Your runestaff sling is part of the <type> Magic Sling group and will provide fancy messaging based on your <type> lore trainings. It has 1 (OTS) tiers of 4 tiers unlocked at this time. It will also allow for the following verbs to be used on it: Drop, get, pull, and push. Restrictions on this are a little complicated when it comes to altering. It can have a show description only as one of the unlock tiers will allow it to display the weapon it carries. If you GIRD SET (weapon) and use READY LIST to select sling as your SHEATH, then GIRD, READY, SHEATH and STOW give the special messaging of Magic Sling. At the higher tiers the Elemental Magic Sling will randomize stow/draw messaging. Your <magic sling> has a password of <password>. You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the runestaff sling for you or deepen its pockets.

The sling holds a single runestaff, and is offered in four variants: Elemental, Spiritual, Mental and Sorcery. Each type offers different messaging when interacted with, and will vary based on the owner's Elemental Attunement (for Elemental Slings only) or Lore ranks (non-Elemental slings). Per GM Thandiwe, if the wearer has no elemental attunement nor any lore training then the messaging will be "generic". (See her post below.) Further, these rules apply: - If your character uses ATTUNE to choose an element and you use an Elemental Sling, you will see messaging appropriate for the ATTUNED element regardless of your Lore trainings. - If your character is not ATTUNEd to an element, or owns any of the non-elemental slings, and your Lore trainings are "tied" - say, 50 Religion and 50 Blessings trainings - you have a random chance at seeing EITHER the Religion or the Blessings messaging.
