A couple of old ideas which I still think would be really wanted:

• Butterknife of Totemcarving: enables non-druids to carve elder trees for the regular cost. Enables druids to carve elders for a cheaper cost/faster balance.
  
• Power Sigil: enables those who can't naturally cone or star/dark/flesh/crystal link a node to do so. Those who naturally can would get more power from each cone/link.

I see how it is, wanting to get rid of us druids, love the coning thing however.


I know I have said this in other threads to somepoint but:Recording thing - works just like any other book type thing, but doesn't require you to be at a desk/chair to use it, but instead is a voice recorder of some such. You can just say what you want recorded and it will do such. (ie RECORD and LISTEN ) However such a thing probably would lose the formatting of the editor, but each time you use the verb on the page with new things, it would go to a new line.

After careful consideration I want to change the name of your scorpion tail arty shuyin.

Cause that is a skill I actually have. We already have the protean spider so lets build off that!

- Protean Cloth
Allows you to wipe any poison ONTO a weapon. Used by envenoming normally.

Amulet of Speechcraft (or something like that)

Lets you learn an extra language, like a bookbinder.

Amateur Sleuth Set.

A bottle of magical fingerprint powder that can be sprinkled to highlight objects probeable in a room.

A mark of Standards:
- Allows the use of standards as per the knighthood skill.

Threatening Brand
- Allows the use of warcry as per the knighthood skill.

Malarious:

- Allows the use of standards as per the knighthood skill.

Threatening Brand
- Allows the use of warcry as per the knighthood skill.

If you have the Standards skill, it gives a +5% h/m/e boost to you, as well as to anyone in a squad with you.

If you have the Warcry skill... I don't know, it gives you 20 DMP for 4s (so the first hit from all the mobs that retarget onto you is reduced, they are 'stunned' by your warcry).

I can't wait for the day when every useful ability is duplicated in an artifact.

Some of my older ideas:

Shadowbox Gallery: Non-decay. Allows you to store and display multiple paintings in one room, maybe like a hybrid glamrock-bookshelf. TAP SHADOWBOX RANDOM to randomize the paintings or TAP SHADOWBOX NEXT/PREV to bring up a new one/ new set in the catalogue. Paintings cannot be enchanted. For reference, there's several painting galleries in the SpiritSingers' guildhall with functions very similar if not the same to this concept.

-Jumbo Can of Garridan's Best Beastie Chow - Instantly ages your young beasts to adult. Crikey!

-Postmaster's Bell: Allows for custom delivery message for manse post offices. (like bats/owls/wakabi/harried trill/orb that the cities/communes have)

- Pilgrim's Badge: Touch to customize to your Order, instant teleport to your God's Fulcrux

Paybox: Allows you to pay stable fees from any plane.

Also I support that aethermanse dock idea someone once had to connect two or more manses, but have it be reversable.

Bobo's Piggy Bank: Allows you to deposit and withdraw from your personal bank account with no withdrawal fee.

Brewmeister's Funnel : multiplies portions of teas, ales, spirits and wines only. Like a spatula but for tasty beverages! Must be a Cook or Brewmeister.

Graven Brazier of the Ancients : Similar to Pneumatic Hookah, though allows for combinations of flowers and oils to be transformed into grains or cones of incense which can then be burned in the brazier. In addition to roomwide scent emote, can provide increased potency/time duration of worn influencing oils (BLESS with INCENSE). Requires flowers, coal and/or oil commodities.

Marvellous Magnifying Glass

I know it's more of a builder's thing, but I think it would be neat to have...

A manse artifact that allows for the creation of a probe-able hidden detail/details/containers in a room. IE- Generic Room Desc: A collection of teapots has been put on display for all to admire. P 'teapots' P 'collection' = These teapots are quite pretty...etc. You can't physically do much anything else with them, but it adds a touch of interest.

Florist's Ribbon: Allows you to make a bouquet, boutonniere, corsage, wreath, circlet, wristlet, dream/meditation pillow or lei out of flowers to give to friends. Bouquets can be THROWN/TOSSED. Wreaths can be EXHIBITted with Arts exhibit. All other types can be worn like normal flowers. (Types that can be used: Rose, Lily, Poppy, Carnation, Freesias, Skybloom, Kouseki, Lotus, Orchid, Iris, Iceflower etc). Use: ARRANGE (flower) (bouquet/circlet/etc). Ex. ARRANGE (twilight blue rose) bouquet = A bouquet of twilight blue roses. or Arrange lavender skybloom boutonniere = A lavender skybloom boutonniere.

Decay time would be normal, unless perhaps there was an arts made vase to extend for bouquets/circlets. Or maybe two bouquet/circlet types, one regular, one wedding, where wedding types have a high comms cost, and are permanent, but can remember/record the date of the wedding when the officiant declares the couple to be wed?

Dream/Meditation Pillow interactions:

SNUGGLE/INHALE: You bury your face in a silvery windwisp scented dream/meditation pillow, inhaling its delicate, sweet fragrance.

BRANDISH at : You wind up and swing at with a silvery windwisp scented dream pillow, hitting them in the !

PAT: You pat a silvery windwisp scented dream pillow, inhaling a delicate, sweet fragrance as you fluff it.

THROW at : You fling your silvery windwisp scented dream pillow at !

Xenthos:

If you have the Standards skill, it gives a +5% h/m/e boost to you, as well as to anyone in a squad with you.

If you have the Warcry skill... I don't know, it gives you 20 DMP for 4s (so the first hit from all the mobs that retarget onto you is reduced, they are 'stunned' by your warcry).

Or like the nose and pogo...

DOES NOTHING IF YOU ALREADY HAVE IT. STOP TRYING TO GET BUFFS FOR UTILITY ARTYS.

NEVER.

Book of the dead gives a buff if you already can speak to the undead, after all!

Superior Disguise Kit

Allows you to use changeself illusions. For when you like changing into many different races, but a cameo would be wasteful.

Dingbat hats is as close as you'll get.

Stop trying to get guild abilities in as arties!

Sorry the whole existence of dingbat artys is to copy "guild abilities". At least the minor ones (wait for the pendant of crucify).

Trueheal circlet plz.

Great Rune of Choke ~~

Can the cartel slots artifact be put into the auction again?

A series of artifacts that work like the Drums of Kiakoda, except instead of doing TRUEGROUND to every room in the area, they do AQUACAST FLOOD/PYROCAST COMBUST/GEOCAST TAINT/AEROCAST CONDENSATE/FORESTCAST FOREST every room in the area instead. Note that this is not the FORCE-foo versions, so they can't bypass illusions/saplings, break melds or do anything else but fiddle with the terrain.

... awesome.

Yes, please.
