Teaser 2 - Customizations

Oh no!  A golem got into the gears and destroyed all of Summit Academy's previous customization offerings, and the professors have been hard at work coming up with new offerings instead. 

What does this mean?
1. All previous offerings will have a new home that will be announced at a future date

2. All customs at Rumor Woods this year are brand new

There are **over 600 new customizations** across a range of spells and other items (660 if we want to be precise!).

Non-spells:  general spell preps, signature verbs, logphrases, features, swears, death messages, and **brand new for 2024: Urchin Guides**

Spells:  111, 118, 130, 203, 220, 225, 306, 308, 325, 505, 510, 511, 518, 610, 615, 705, 709, 713, 740, 901, 903, 904, 906, 907, 908, 909, 910, 930, 1020, 1110, 1206, 1215, 1700, 1707, 1709, 1710, empath transfer messaging, and resurrection messaging (works for 308 and 1640)

Thanks to GMs Haliste and Yusri, who have worked tirelessly on customization processes, we have set *most* spells up to allow you to have multiple customizations.

Non-spells:  The maximum for these per character depends on each system.

Spells that only allow 1 customization still are:  308, 615, 709, and 909.  These will eventually be set up to allow for multiples as well, but they currently are not.  Take that into consideration when purchasing your customizations!

All Other Spells Listed:  You can have multiple options for all other spells, up to a maximum of 150 customs.

**Note:**  These purchases get applied directly to the character, so you must bring the character who needs the custom.

A huge thank you to the GMs who provided all these new customs for 2024, with extra love and appreciation to APM Isten who QC'd them all!

Creative Couture is a new script created by Vanah that allows you to add the following to your worn items:

  • Gems
  • Feathers
  • Flowers
  • Fishing Lures
  • Fasteners (LM clasps
  • )Ribbons
  • Insects/Aquatic
  • Pointed
  • Miscellany

These are in the same vein as Veolas and Deck the Hall items and follow the same basic rules. 

The items sold at RW will have a unique gem setting with the other 8 settings being a generic description (adorned with <adj>s), but any willing merchant can customize the sides for you.

Enjoy!

Have you always had some unscripted/plain pieces of jewelry you've always wanted to spruce up or show off?  Be sure to check out the shop "Vaunt It and Flaunt It" to grab a collection of jeweler's pliers that will let you add the OTS (Tier 1) version of the Look at Me Jewelry script to certain pieces of unscripted jewelry.  There are several available that work with different nouns and wear locations.
