The Desert of Supreme Loathing.
A painting of Rockholm General Store has been thrown on the ground here. A
stunning fiend stands here, playing with its hair. A black-skinned imp squats
here, long tail twitching. A malevolent demon prowls here.
You see exits leading north, east, south, and west.

You do not have the right type of energy to perform that feat.
3093h, 3606m, 2028e, 1p, 12625en, 13558w ex-darkcall thrall

The ground rumbles and splits open as a hideous archdemon crawls out and
scuttles to your side, cringing and groveling at your feet.

Yep, pretty sure it's a bug. I bugged it a long time ago, soon after I got my first thrall, but I guess it got overlooked.

Edit: The bug applies even if you have the right power, but don't have the 5 power needed. It can also be reproduced if you 'darkcall thrall' while off equilibrium, and then again when you're on equilibrium.
Unknown2004-12-22 23:28:41
Sheesh. Put that gold away before you get killed and lose it!
Silvanus2004-12-22 23:30:06
The main thing is that I'm not a citizen and I still called a Thrall, I hope its not a bug, but I didn't want to abuse it incase if it was.
Unknown2004-12-22 23:40:10
If it's part of your skills in Nihilism, then why wouldn't you be able to call a Thrall? You still retain your skills even though you don't have a guild or city, don't you?
Hazar2004-12-22 23:40:43
I guess that the bug pops up with the reduced power costs of Nil? Something about the way the wrote those routines forgot to check for 'flavor'?

P.S. He needs the Magnagora-flavor power.
Kaelar2004-12-22 23:44:46
Actually, it's just a general bug that allows you to call your demon without power (and thus, without citizenship) on the second try. Not sure how/why it exists.
Hazar2004-12-22 23:54:17
Alright, mechanical theory course failed. I'll try again.
Lisaera2004-12-23 00:27:42
Well, that's what's commonly known as really screwy.

Thank you for not just abusing it, it'll be looked into.

Damn. I thought I could trick everyone and not have to be part of Magnagora to do it, so I won't have to listen to some people I won't have to name (and no Brona, its not just you or your family, or even most of your family).
Silvanus2004-12-23 22:21:36
I'm fairly confident this is a bug, and I'm fairly cnofident reading this in a bug report would be extremely annoying:

Rolling your eyes into the back of your head, you begin to chant words of
power, releasing a flow of ectoplasm with each syllable.

... What was the skill?
Shiri2004-12-23 22:35:45
On a similar note, WHOOPS, I should really read the AB files for basic nature skills I thought I knew. I thought flow was MEANT to work from any room. blink.gif Please don't zap me! mellow.gif
Shamarah2004-12-24 03:11:29
On a random note that doesn't really matter, you seem to be able to convert more than 90 credits per day.
Kaelar2004-12-24 03:31:51
It was upped to 180 credits per day sometime soon after the game opened.
Erion2004-12-24 03:59:38
Aww, damn. Here I thought it was a thing like how magi can summon their pets on their respective planes for reduced power cost. Yanno, summoning an angel on Celestia for no power, 'cause. Elohora's cool like that.
Silvanus2004-12-24 04:15:41
Had to report it, Erion, plus I got a truefavour for it.
Stetson2004-12-24 05:47:04
*remembers ths hideous days of a 30 credit limit*
Shiri2004-12-24 10:16:39
*feels thoroughly annoyed by the people who actually had more than 30 credits at a time to even BE annoyed by aforementioned 30 credit per day limit tongue.gif*
Unknown2004-12-24 13:58:49
Hold on, you get a truefavour for not abusing a bug? o_O
