Custom Spirit Guide
Custom Spirit Guide is a type of advanced spell customization that changes the messaging associated with the Spirit Guide (130) spell. Pre-written custom Spirit Guide messaging is available at various festivals, pay events, and at Bayview Villa on Mist Harbor. Fully custom Spirit Guide messaging is a delayed service when the player is writing their own. Custom Spirit Guide is part of the Player Customization System and is managed via the CUSTOM verb.
Custom Spirit Guide messaging consists of first person messaging for when the spell is cast plus third person messaging for both the departure and arrival rooms.
Examples of custom Spirit Guide messaging include the following associated from Rumor Woods:
1P: An echo of clanking fills the air as a swirl of unsubstantial golden gears masks your vision...
3P, departure: An echo of clanking fills the air as a swirl of unsubstantial golden gears masks the departure of {Character}'s group.
3P, arrival: An echo of clanking fills the air as a swirl of unsubstantial golden gears masks the departure of {Character}'s group.
1P: Deep and thumping, the sound of your heartbeat echoes in your ears moments before a sanguine film slips across your eyes, obscuring your vision...
3P, departure: Echoing dully in your ears, your own heartbeat thuds like a small drum, hearalding a sanguine light that swirls around and obscures {Character}'s group.
3P, arrival: Echoing dully in your ears, your own heartbeat thuds like a small drum, hearalding a sanguine light that swirls around and obscures {Character}'s group.
