I know there's magic list, but would it be possible to make it so that enchanted items could be referred to by their enchantment?

For example, you could RUB MERCY to rub a ring enchanted with Mercy.

I don't see why not - you can refer to vials by what's in them, eg PROBE HEALTH or DRINK CHOLERIC.

I second it.

Thirded, and Aebrin doesn't drink enough.

That would've been nicer if it'd happened before I set up my system so I can do just that.

Yes, please please please

Would be cool.

Athana, you have magiclist, so just set up aliases making "rub mercy" "rub 37734" or something.

yeah...but its still a cool idea!..

Even I wish for this. See, it'd be so much easier this way. Everyone aliases the specific item number of course, but what if I have multiple enchantments of the same type, and the item number I'm using runs out? Well, if I could just RUB MERCY, it'd automatically target the next available one.

Yay. Looks like I had a good idea

Anyone think the same thing should go for pipes, incidentally?

Enchantments and pipes? Yes.

SMOKE FAELEAF
Wtf? You don't have a coltsfoot. And if you did, you can't smoke it. It's not a pipe.

Daevos does his omg sword slashy combo.
You have been slain by your lack of rebounding.

problem with the smoke faeleaf thing is it would probably work with empty as well... and bad thing if you get a empty coltsfoot commanded on you.

EMPTY ANTIDOTE is much worse... You don't have to specify the vial number there.
Unless you can't force EMPTY, I don't know.

Doesn't take much to repack a pipe... but running back to the alembic mid-battle?

yeah it is, point was id think twice about asking about such things... I remember those snake tactics, thank god for people who falcon immunity upon request. I remember Narsrim emptying 8 phlegmatics of mine i swear you're so cheap Narsrim *shakes fist* heh

Yes, you can force empty. Even through selfishness, as I found to Gwylifar's cost .
But most people don't empty vials, since we know it's evil. Although I will if I get damn shieldsmashed again. Or diluted. But mainly shieldsmash. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

But it should work for pipes too. That way I wouldn't have to update all of my 6 pipe-related aliases every time a pipe decayed, and hope I didn't miss any. (I usually do. And then get screwed with coltsfoot some point in the future.)

with enchantments just make a list in zmud of your enchantment numbers with what is on it, an array style of thing.

then capture your magiclist or enter it manually, and set it up to rub the next type of item should it run out, via flags.

And you can do it without dirty filthy moonwhore making you empty your vials.....next time someone tries that I'm going to, instead of kill people, just smash their shields

For one, emptying vials doesn't happen in practice, since you need balance/equilibrium in order to empty them, and therefore isn't worth the trouble to try. Secondly, what a damned waste of time, to make a system to track your enchantments, rather then just swapping the item number into a variable manually. It's not going to improve your combat effectiveness to go through all the trouble to do that, and it SHOULD just work like RUB MERCRY, or SMOKE PIPE WITH COLTSFOOT, like it does in a certain other realm, a la Imperian (SMOKE PIPE WITH VALERIAN for example). And the syntax for rubbing would probably be more like RUB RING WITH MERCY, or RUB NECKLACE WITH ACQUISITIO, or POINT BRACELET WITH ICEWALL NORTH.

took me all of 5 minutes to code.

Then i got wise and bought wands so it didn't matter to me anymore

I much much like these ideas.

*cracks whip from dream scene*

It would be nice too if magiclist gave the months left on the items so we could get them repaired before they go poof.
