When these amulets are [[WEAR (verb)|worn]], placed inside of an amulet-holder, or held, they allow a character to send their location to another character via the [[ESP|ESP System]] using the syntax {{boldmono|[[THINK (verb)|THINK]] LOCATION <character>}}. Some [[merchant]] shops have jewelry that can hold an amulet for more fashionable access.


==Crystal Amulet Usage==
The ESP network consists of public and private channels with direct messaging capability to other characters on the network. The network is a popular way to communicate [[in character]], particularly during invasions or visits from [[non-player character]]s (NPCs). Each [[realm]] has its own local channel, and there is a game-wide global channel that is defaulted to be ignored. To access the global channel, use {{mono|ESP UNIGNORE GLOBAL}} while ESP is active.


{{boldmono|[[ANALYZE (verb)|ANALYZE]]}} provides the following information:
===Amulet Usage===
PULL
: Removes character from the thought channels.


<pre{{log2}}>>You analyze your crystal amulet and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
<div {{log}}>
The amulet is a crystal amulet which allows you to THINK LOCATION {target} while engaged in ESP.
You sense that your attunement to the minds of others has ceased.
</div>


You get no sense of whether or not the amulet may be further lightened.</pre>
TOUCH
: Gives player a feel for how much time remains before the effects of the amulet stops.


While the amulet is in the character's [[WEAR (verb)|worn]] [[inventory]], placed within [[crystal amulet jewelry]], or held in the character's hand, the character may use the amulet to send their location to another individual regardless of any [[status condition]]s in effect upon the sending character. Sending the location consumes a charge and the amulet will eventually shatter. The sending character receives the following message upon successful transmission of the location:
<div {{log}}>
As you touch your amulet, you get the sensation you have a lot of time remaining before the presence of others fade from your thoughts.
</div>


<pre{{log2}}>You focus on projecting your presence through the crystal amulet and impose your surroundings upon your mind.</pre>
==ESP (verb)==
Another common way to access ESP is through [[CHE|house]] pins and through the [[Council of Light]]'s [[Sign of Thought]]. Some special shops have jewelry that can hold a amulet for more fashionable access. Players send messages using [[THINK (verb)|THINK]]. Each rub provides one hour of access; the remaining duration can be seen via [[spell active|SPELL ACTIVE]]. These items usually have limited charges but are cheap to replace. The network can be turned off by removing the jewelry, eating [[tkaro root]], or through more unique items.


The sending character receives the following message when the receiving character is not available:
<pre{{log2}}>
>esp


<pre{{log2}}>You open your mind, but do not feel their presence.</pre>
Usage:
ESP IGNORE {option | HELP} - Use or get usage for the IGNORE feature.
ESP OPTION {option | HELP} - Use or get usage for the OPTION feature.
ESP CHANNELS - Shows the available channels.
ESP CHANNELS [IC|OOC|OFF] - Modifies channel names while thinking.
ESP WHO {channel name} - Shows people listening to the specified channel.
ESP FIND {channel name} {player name} - Search a channel to see if a specific person is listening.
ESP DEFAULT {channel name | CLEAR} - Set or clear a channel as your default to think on.
ESP COMMANDS - Lists the THINK usage.


This ability has a 30 second cooldown which is reflected in the following messaging:

Crystal amulets are common magical items found on creatures in GemStone IV. When these amulets are worn, placed inside of an amulet-holder, or held, they allow a character to send their location to another character via the ESP System using the syntax THINK LOCATION <character>. Some merchant shops have jewelry that can hold an amulet for more fashionable access.

Crystal Amulet Usage

ANALYZE provides the following information:

>You analyze your crystal amulet and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
The amulet is a crystal amulet which allows you to THINK LOCATION {target} while engaged in ESP.

You get no sense of whether or not the amulet may be further lightened.

While the amulet is in the character's worn inventory, placed within crystal amulet jewelry, or held in the character's hand, the character may use the amulet to send their location to another individual regardless of any status conditions in effect upon the sending character. Sending the location consumes a charge and the amulet will eventually shatter. The sending character receives the following message upon successful transmission of the location:

You focus on projecting your presence through the crystal amulet and impose your surroundings upon your mind.

The sending character receives the following message when the receiving character is not available:

You open your mind, but do not feel their presence.

This ability has a 30 second cooldown which is reflected in the following messaging:

Straining your mind, you fail to project your presence, having not fully recovered from the last time.

An example of what the receiving character is sent would be:

You feel the presence of XXX in your mind.
