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. Sindin stated that further unlocks would be made available in the future, at an unspecified time and place.

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.

Spiritual Magic Sling Analyze

You analyze your runestaff sling and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

Your runestaff sling is part of the Spiritual Magic Sling group and will provide fancy messaging based on your Spiritual lore trainings.  It has 2 tiers of 4 tiers unlocked at this time.

It will also allow for the following verbs to be used on it: Cover, drop, get, pull, push, and tap.

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 Spiritual Magic Sling will randomize stow/draw messaging.

You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the runestaff sling for you or deepen its pockets.

Teaser from GM Sindin

Maybe you're the type who finds yourself attuned to the elements...

>You draw your illthorn runestaff from your runestaff sling, tracing an arc of crackling lightning in its wake.

>A fiery plume of hissing smoke trails your illthorn runestaff as you stow it in your runestaff sling.


Maybe you've said your Blessings...

>A searing arc of radiant golden light trails your illthorn runestaff as you draw it from your runestaff sling.


Or maybe you're studied in Demonology...

>You touch your runestaff sling, and a cloud of black energy pulses from it to encompass your hand.



Either way, I can promise you almost everyone who wields a runestaff will enjoy what is to be discovered in The Art of Lore.
