He said it because you have listed Alchemy - Salt

Then Sprinkle Fertilizer.

Which would mean someone would ask because salt is not a fertilizer. You use salt when you want to kill things.


Ahhhh. Fixed.

Disabling sigils would remove most of the use of sigils, enter room and sprinkle immediately to counter any ill effects. Like it better to grow plants imho.

Nope, sigils would still have most of their uses. Monoliths would prevent things porting into you or places like guildhalls you wanted guarded, porting out would presumably involve an eq to disable it first (this being the main use) keys would be unaffected and who cares about disabling them anyway, eyes couldn't be disabled by dreamweavers and souls anyway, fists and flames would be completely unaffected.

Much better than the plant idea. Let's go with that.

Also, people don't use salt as a fertiliser, but they do use it to help plants - it kills off things like slugs and snails without damaging the plant. Of course, too much renders the land barren - hence "sowing salt."

Which is odd, since the Americans still use imperial measurements instead if good old SI units

No good upstanding American scientist does. And if they do, I've already retroactively... "corrected" their brains.

I like pants.

In seriousness, I really like the sigil-disable idea. What would it be, like a 30 - 60 s disable after a 3-8 sec balance loss? Just as long as one can't THROW SULFUR AT to disable fist sigils, and as long as flame sigils are unaffected (which would burn it up anyways. Everyone knows that fire is the -real- use for sulfur tongue.gif) I think we'll be okay.

We should use sulfur to make fireworks! Even better than bard fireworks. More accessible.

5 Salt + 5 Coal + 5 Sulfur = Fireworks!

Isn't that close to gunpowder anyway?

Saltpeter, coal, and sulphur actually, though I forget the ratio needed for the explosive effect.
Tervic2008-06-07 05:56:27
75% potassium nitrate (saltpeter)
15% charcoal
10% sulfur

Is it bad that I know this off the top of my head?

I thought you had a pie fetish, now instead I think you are just a pyro.
