RESERVE CLEAR {item} will remove a specified item from a reserve slot.

Notes

  • You can invoke scrolls that are held in reserve without penalty (the 100 penalty applied when trying to invoke whilst holding another item is not applied when invoking from reserve).
  • Generally it is petter to put a wand in reserve and wave it from there versus holding it in your hand; for the vast majority of characters, an open hand will provide more defense than a hand holding a wand.
  • Some examples of things you can put in reserve: herbs, wands, scrolls, heavy quartz orbs, blue crystals, solid moonstone cubes, and more.
  • Any item that must be worn to be effective, such as ruby amulets, do not work from reserve.
