but what if you don't want to be male -or- female?

I see this being an issue with family trees, though.

would an androgynous person be a mother or a father or what?

How about just a parent?

I imagine that they would select which, if that were necessary. And as Kiriwe has said above, the Mirror just is not the same as having all the parts at once.

It may have already have been suggested, but would it be possible to change the way Gloves of Mastery work for an alchemist, Currently I wouldn't think anyone that has alchemy would buy one. Maybe it could work by doubling your potion yield or something like that?

Too OP!

Also, I can't remember if I suggested this earlier, but I want a way to link clans and cartels together into a company/empire/whatever. Orb of OMG AWESOMENESS, 300cr, gets you linked orgs, its own channel, another newsboard with configurable perms (after all, several orgs would have access to it), and maybe a few other bonuses.

Well it needs something different if they expect to sell any of them. Alchemy doesn't use the kind of power enchanting does, so its not worth buying the gloves. Any other ideas are welcome that was just one that I plucked out my head

lessen the amount of herbs needed?

Change this:

CODE
Great Rune of Dominion: 250 credits
  - Increases maximum ally/enemy list size +20
  - Runes of Dominion do not stack

to this:

CODE
Great Runes of Dominion
  - Increases maximum ally/enemy list size.
  Rune of Dominion     +20 entries   250 credits
  Rune of Conquest     +35 entries   500 credits
  Rune of Sovereignty  +50 entries  1000 credits

Also, how about this? Kind of like the Pyramid artifact, but for ally/enemy lists.

CODE
Shifting Balance of Power: 500 credits
  - A balance scale decorated with a political map whose lines are constantly shifting.
  - Provides four slots into which you can save ally/enemy lists.
  - BALANCE SET 1: saves your current enemy and ally lists into the first of four slots.
  - BALANCE PROBE 2: lists the saved enemy and ally lists in the second slot.
  - BALANCE RECALL 3: replaces your current enemy and ally lists with the one saved in the third slot.

Of course, I can (and now, will) program the latter thing, client-side. But it'd be cool anyway.

Given how simple this is to code... that's really expensive.

a sprig of purple-veined cactus weed - 1cr for a group of 50
- when placed in a pipe and smoked, it temporarily reduces one's balance and induces the sight of multicolored happy faces
- some users report psionic enhancements, though these claims are generally dismissed by respectable scholars
(marginally reduces psi channel recovery time and the ego cost of psionic abilities)

I have idea'd this a couple of months ago, but I really want it, so I will post here too.
Folio of Correspondence
A book which will allow you to put letters in (it could require them to be preserved, or auto-preserve them) and then be read and manipulated like a book (bookmarked as well). Can also remove letters, which would automatically renumerate pages. I really like the IRE mail system, but over time it gets unwieldy! This might also make a neat bookbinding ability.

1) Expansion runes for cubes to speed up the time it takes to enchant - whether by making more charges go in at a time or the enchanting process itself being faster. Not sure how this could be applied to alchemy, it's already fairly fast I believe?

2) Fan of Storms to work like a proper Gust enchantment and allow you to target people! There's already a web enchant artifact so I presume this doesn't make the fan suddenly so OP that all envoys would join hands and for once agree on something in unison.

Just saw this, and while it would be easy to code, I would love it and easily pay 500 credits to not have to see 100 lines of spam (50 blah is now an enemy and 50 prompts) or even just 50 lines of spam if I gag the enemy lines, everytime I hit one of my 'enemy this group' aliases.

As a makeshift workaround, put it in the CLAN EDIT SUMMARY of one of your unused clans. (No one will find it with searches like ADS BY VIYNAIN; on the other hand, it can have a more meaningful name than AD 54, and you can edit it without all that mucking about with the odd formatting in ads when making tables and grids.)

Uh, fan of storms already acts like a gust enchantment. I use it against single targets all the time. And expansion runes already speed up the time it takes to enchant, depending on size...

It's not in the artifact helpfile, so that's probably where that confusion arose from.

I issued the fan thing a while ago and was told it doesn't! wtf.gif

As for the expansion runes, I misread the help file. It does say '100% more per fill or charge' and I kept looking at it from the point of view: 'oh, free charges'.
