That's true to. I'd love some kind of WeakeningProphecy.
Kiradawea2009-03-18 19:13:02
But Weakening and Astrology is an exact science that has absolutely nothing to do with Runes.

I know the admin generally look down on purely cosmetic/RP abilities, but I just feel that it is strange that the Histories mention runes and tarots as forms of fortune-telling, but that are no ways to actually use them for that purpose.

Runes:

RunicDivination - With sufficient runic knowledge, you may divine the future with your runes.
SHAKE RUNEBAG

(Basically, the same as SHAKE BOX for the artifact box thing, but only for runes.)

Tarot:

Cartomancy - As you flip the cards over, you can read the threads of fate for a brief moment.
SHUFFLE DECK
DECKDRAW CARD

(Randomises which cards you draw.)


Its very late over here, so I'll flesh these out sometime later.

A combination of the catalogue idea, as well as providing more skills for Bookbinding.

Catalogue Create a catalogue for cartels.
Syntax: BOOKBIND FOR (PUBLIC | )
Catalogues are created for cartels to display their designs. Catalogues will magically update and expand as the cartel grows. To make a catalogue, you will need at least 10 applications of magic ink in addition to the commodities required. You must be in a proper bookbinding workshop to craft a catalogue.
Also see BOOKBINDINGS CATALOGUES.

Buffs can mess that up though.

As though cartomancy exists irl, I think tarot in Lusternia was more of the painted visuals and the hidden powers stored in those and divination is considered as a small part of the whole. Also since tarot is made up of cards, I assume that this has become an inspiration of the Game of Fates or vice versa

I just replaced 115 or so vials, I feel your pain.

I'd prefer recycling them though. 2-3 gems per vial.

CODE
SMASH
Produces 1-2 of the gem composing the vial. Those with Mastercut in Jewelery instead receive 3-5

Something like that?

That would most certainly not be 'utility', and if it's a serious proposal belongs elsewhere.

It's not like I'm suggesting a major skill renovation like what was done to WildArrane. Aside from that, the idea is basically about adding another useful thing to Covens and Coven Circles. confused.gif
Unknown2009-06-18 13:40:17
Utility means "non-combat related," however, so Esano is right to say that the suggestion doesn't really belong here.

The there's also not just two categories, utility or complete skill change. Catacombs tarot is an example of a utility ability. Just because something isn't a major skill renovation doesn't mean it won't be unbalancing.

The type of change you're talking about is what envoys are for. smile.gif
Siam2009-06-18 13:55:05
Oookay, before this becomes a 'what is a Utility' and 'where skill suggestions should be posted in proper threads' topic, I'm moving my suggestion elsewhere smile.gif
