Runes and hexes can both do a simple lock with little skill. Impatience + paralyse. Unless they have focusmind or a LIT pipe, they're screwed.

Focusmind needs to be lowered a bit sad.gif It's an uberpowerful skill, but it's the ONLY way to cure so many things.

Remember, you can't use Green or Gedbuliajsdflkj or Full or faesummon Maiden or benediction or any other affliction healing skill while paralysed. Focus mind is the only way out of that lock if you don't have a lit pipe.


Actually, AllHeale can cure the paralysis and get you out of the lock.

Not when you're anorexic with asthma.
The WHOLE point of a lock is to PREVENT focusing and curing.
Impatience prevents focusing, Anorexia prevents eating, Asthma prevents smoking which cures Anorexia and Impatience, so you're in a lock.

I've been saying this for a long time, the problem isn't with focus mind but rather Lusternia is the only IRE realm where you could effectively lock someone with two afflictions since anorexia prevents eating and drinking so you can't cure asthma (melancholic) and slickness (calamus). Everywhere else you need to get all three afflictions (anorexia, slickness, asthma) for a soft-lock but here it's doable in a single Doublewhammy with anorexia/asthma. I envoyed for anorexia to be a salve cure a while back but it never went through regretably. sad.gif

That would really screw hexes right now, as wiccans/guardians couldn't lock anymore. With focusmind not being the trans skill it is in Achaea, it would be nearly impossible to lock anyone ever.

The problem is probably that salves cure things that you could actually touch.

Of course there are also healers to consider. Those three afflictions could be fairly easily cured by them.

Also I'm not sure but I think Green and Full Moon both could heal a lock (probably wrong)

Green is available to all warriors, druids and wiccans at gifted lowmagic. If there is a highmagic equivalent you effectively have a possible cure for a lock that's available to everyone.
Ok, so you want a garunteed cure for the affliction for no power you have to learn heaps of discipline, otherwise you can try learning less in lowmagic(or high again if there is an equivalent) and get the chance of curing the affliction.

Salves cure anorexia in all other IRE muds, I believe.

Weird... unless it's like absorbed into your head and alters your brain chemistry or something, then it obviously makes sense tongue.gif
