Should release atleast one more before the sale ends.

Library artifact?


*hope*

Perhaps a way to access your manse from anywhere for 1000 mana? Something like the books from Myst/Rivan? Be able to touch the picture in the book, and transport to your home for the same time as a teleport? Make it so you have some major restrictions on it, so you cant just use it like spores, catacombs, ghost, as a quick way to duck out of anywhere. Let people personalise the book and its short/long descriptions, just for that extra bit of personalisation, as well as physically having to open and close the book, for some more interactivity. Have it cost a good 100 credits or so, reset to you, so you can give it to friends, and the like..

Nah, can't have linking books, but some sort of gem (what is it with Lusternia and gemstones?) would be nice.

teleport manse
You must be holding an amplification gem to complete this action.

roll
You roll your eyes.
get gem from pack
You take a shimmering amplification gem from a black leather and silk backpack.
p gem
A pure, spherical diamond, this gem constantly vibrates with an inner power. Though it is polished to a high luster, it doesn't reflect its surroundings. Instead, its surfaces show images of twisting aether strands.
teleport manse
You gaze deeply into an amplification gem and seek out the space between the planes.
You have recovered equilibrium.
An amplification gem flares bright white as you find a tear in reality and rip it open, slipping behind the fabric of the planes and into your personal manse.

(to an observer)
The air about Blastron begins to shimmer as he stares into an amplification gem.
Blastron suddenly swipes at the air, which seems to tear around him as his amplification gem flashes bright white. He is suddenly sucked through the tear, which seals behind him.

Here's something a bit more basic for a change. How about something like:

MANSE EDIT SUMMARY
- Allows you to write a short summary of your manse.
- Others will be able to PORTAL LOOK (manse) to read the summary, even if they cannot enter.
- Costs 1000 gold

Goes into the editor, basically like the (bugged) clanhelp summaries. Would give us a chance to put some interesting info, like history, in there.

I like that idea, I'd use it.

Just to make sure.. once we set safe prefs. It is totally impossible for someone else to break into them correct?

Nothing is impossible.

The safe has a lock like anything else, so iunless we decide to allow breaking o flocks, then no.

I like breaking flocks! I run in with my coral staff and make all the sheep scatter.

I too really like the idea of the manse summary. It would be really useful for the Seawind family manse.

MANSE SET PRIVATE ON/OFF
- Costs 1,000 gold
- People will not be able to enter your manse from other places in the Aetherways using teleport abilities.
- Also removes the location of those in your manse from the WHO list.

If I disallow someone from entering my manse, why should they be able to easily enter it unless I cover it with ugly monolith sigils?

I like Elryn's idea *point Elryn's idea*.

Also, is it possible to get statues put in Manses? Say I want a statue of Luciphage at the entrance to my manse (which would be incredibly difficult to acheive ) would I be able to, or are manses statue free?

Having no teleport/no summoning between Manses would stop the possibility of needing the statue there as a defensive mechanism.. I suppose I could just describe a statue in the room description.. just doesn't have the same "wow" effect though.

You can sculpt statues via the arts ability in manses, but they can't be enchanted, I think. If you wanted a custom statue, you should speak with the admin, I think they should be able to help

Yes you can put statues in manses, but they just can't seem to hold the magical charge. Something about not really being connected to the other planes.

That's all I wanted to know. Now, to convince Luciphage to visit my manse so I can have a sculptor sculpt him. *chin*

AB ARTS MOVE

Syntax:
SCULPT (subject) ON ROLLERS (5 marble, 2 wood)
ROLL (statue) DIRECTION
TRANSVERSE (plane) WITH (statue)
PORTAL ENTER/EXIT (location) WITH (statue)
EMPLACE (statue)

As a master artist, you can create statues in locations besides outdoor urban locations, and place rough wooden dowels under it during its creation, making it possible to roll it, and even to shove it through planar gates and portals to the Aetherways. This allows the master artist to sculpt statues of people and creatures that ordinarily would not be found in an outdoor urban location. Note that a statue has a chance of rolling away in a random direction while mounted on rollers, and that it cannot be enchanted until you have emplaced it in an outdoor urban environment or road.

Or, alternatively just allow artists to sculpt from a painting.

It'd make more sense that you had to make a lot of sketches, taking in every viewpoint of the thing, to make a sculpture.

You can't really make a sculpture from a painting because paintings aren't three dimensional so you'll be guessing the other dimensions of the thing (in ooc terms). In IC terms I guess a painting just describes the thing anyway..

Buho, you suddenly remind me of someone.... anyway...
Are you going to be coding any other cool stuff that doesn't require me being rich and my charachter being a non braindead bear?

Fine, then:

AB ARTS SKETCH
Syntax:
SCULPT (target) IN MINIATURE (cost: 2 wood)
SCULPT (miniature) (cost: 5 marble)
Taking a few pieces of wood, you can sculpt a miniature wooden statue. These do not last long (read: short decay time) and cannot be enchanted, but they can be easily moved around to another location. In an outdoor urban or road environment, you can model a full-sized sculpture from of this miniature.
