! 'Command Repeat'

Syntax: !
! repeats the last command you typed.

Gossip Cgossip Qgossip . - = Shout Yell

Syntax: gossip <message> Syntax: cgossip <message> Syntax: qgossip <message> Syntax: shout <message> Syntax: yell <message>
SHOUT sends a message to all awake players in the world. To curb excessive shouting, SHOUT imposes a three-second delay on the shouter.
GOSSIP, CGOSSIP, and QGOSSIP are variants of SHOUT (without the delay). GOSSIP will send the message to everyone listening, CGOSSIP will send only to those who are clanned, and QGOSSIP will send only to those who are on a quest. '.' is a synonym for GOSSIP. '=' is a synonym for CGOSSIP. '-' is a synonym for QGOSSIP.
YELL sends a message to all awake players within your area.
Type a channel name by itself to turn it off.

Recall /

Syntax: RECALL
RECALL prays to your god for miraculous transportation from where you are back to the Temple of Alvinsberg. '/' is a synonym for RECALL. If you are a member of a clan that has it's own reincarnation room, your god will transport you there, unless you have been labeled a thief or killer.
If you RECALL during combat, you will lose experience (more than for fleeing), and you will have a chance of failing (again, more than for fleeing). This chance is based on your recall skill, although a 100% recall does not insure success.
RECALL costs 1/4 of your movement points.
RECALL doesn't work in certain god-forsaken rooms. Characters afflicted by a curse may not recall at all.

Immtalk :

Syntax: immtalk <message> immtalk
Immtalk sends a message to all immortals. : is a synonym for immtalk. Using this command with no argument turns off the immortal channel (or turns it back on).

Gtell ; Reply Say Sayto Tell Whisper

Syntax: gtell <message> Syntax: say <message> Syntax: tell <character> <message> Syntax: sayto <character> <message> Syntax: say to <character> <message> Syntax: whisper <character> <message>
All of these commands send messages to other players. GTELL sends a message to all of the characters in your group, wherever they are, even if they are sleeping or stunned or dying. ';' is a synonym for GTELL.
SAY sends a message to all awake players in your room. The single quote ''' is a synonym for SAY. Your words can also be directed at another person using SAYTO or SAY TO.
TELL sends a message to one awake player anywhere in the world.
REPLY sends a message to the last player who sent you a TELL. REPLY will work even if you can't see the player, and without revealing their identity. This is handy for talking to invisible or switched immortal players. WHISPER sends a message to one awake player in the same room. There is a small chance of being overheard by others. GTELL, TELL, and REPLY are considered Out of Character, while SAY, SAYTO, and WHISPER are considered In Character.

Arena Challenge Accept Decline Withdraw

Syntax: challenge <victim> accept <victim> decline <victim> withdraw <victim> The Arena is a place where combatants prove their mettle against one another. To start the process, one must challenge another. This gives the one challenged three ticks (roughly three minutes) to either accept or decline the challenge. At any time before the challenger makes known that decision, the one who made the challenge may withdraw the challenge. Fights last until there is only one person undefeated. There is a spectator's room that has a view of the combat. Improvements are constantly being made on the quality of the fights, and there are rumors of group combat in the future. Also rumored is a book that tracks fighter records.

'Acid Blast'

Syntax: c 'acid blast' <victim> This is a very damaging spell available to mages and wizards. This allows the caster to shoot a powerful blast of acid at a foe.

Affects Affect

This command is used to show all the spells affecting your character. At low levels, only the spell name will be displayed, at higher levels the effects and duration of the spell will also be shown. Spell effects are no longer shown on score (this can be changed by using 'show' command).

'Afflictions Group'

Afflictions are the bane of existence, and certain spellcasters are able to inflict them on others. The afflictions group has the following spells:
blindness strikes the target blind deafen makes target deaf feeble mind makes target unable to use skills as well forget makes target unable to remember spells hunger makes target hungry thirst makes target thirsty

Afk

Typing AFK puts your character in a tell-saving mode as follows: any tell to you is stored in a special buffer, and can be seen later by typing recall. This is useful when you need to leave the mud for 5 or 10 minutes, but don't want to miss tells. AFK shows up in your prompt until it is turned off.
Tells to link-dead players are stored in a similar fashion, and can also be seen by typing replay (unless, of course, the character logs off before reading them).

Alchemist Scientist 'Alchemist Basics' 'Alchemist Default'

Alchemists are the tinkers of the lands, not content with how things ARE, always seeking to improve on what nature has made. There were no alchemists until recently, when the gods walked again on the lands, but there have been strides made to harnessing chaos properly so the study of alchemy is not as dangerous to the student.

Alias Unalias

Syntax: alias alias <word> alias <word> <substitution> unalias <word>
The alias command allows limited shortening of command names. At this time, aliases cannot call other aliases, and cannot generate more than one command. Alias by itself lists your current aliases, Alias <word> lists the alias with that name (if such exist), and alias with both a word and and argument produces a new alias. You cannot alias either alias or unalias to a new command. Examples of use:
alias gc get all corpse --> typing gc will equal typing 'get all corpse' alias ff cast 'fireball' --> ff orc will equal 'cast 'fireball' orc'
Only the first word on the line will be subsituted at this time.

Alist

Syntax: ALIST This command gives you a listing of all the areas along with their vnum assignments and the builder(s) assigned to editing them.

Allow Ban Permban

Syntax: allow <site> ban <site> <newbies|all|permit> ban
BAN <site> prohibits players from that site from logging in. BAN with no arguments lists the banned sites. ALLOW <site> removes a site from the ban list, if the remover is of equal or higher level than the banner.
A site may have all players, new players, or non-permitted players (set by editing the player file) banned, by changing the argument after the site. *s may be used to ban either by suffix (*.edu), prefix (labmac*), or content (*andrews*), but be careful not to accidently lock out too many sites with a wildcard. Bans do not save unless the permban command is used.

'Alterations Group'

The alterations group has the following spells: fly allows the target to fly over nearly all obstacles haste doubles the speed of the target, but slows down healing imprint infuses the proper object with the current location infravision allows monsters to be seen in the dark lighten load makes item lighter pass door allows the caster to walk through walls slow slows your enemies down, reducing their rate of attack

Starn'ome Home of the dwarves located in the western mountains. Ran'shyo Oldest city founded along friendship and peace among all races. Hometowns are where players return when using recall, word of recall, or other items that provide the same service. It is also where you return when you fall in combat. New players are recommended to use Alvinsberg as their hometown because it is the hub of civilization. Ran'shyo is also a relatively easy city to call home. Certain hometowns are only available to players of specific races.

Arealinks

Provided to you by Kyless of The Mind's Eye (slaughterdog@yahoo.com).

AREALINKS, with no arguments, gives a listing of all of the rooms that link to a different area from the area you are currently in.
AREALINKS with a room vnum provided will provide all links from the area that the vnum is in. Note that the room does not have to exist, but merely has to be a vnum within the area's vnum range.
AREALINKS with an area name will list all of the links to different areas for that area.
AREALINKS with the all option will list the areas one by one, their vnum ranges, and all their links to different areas.
AREALINKS also provides an optional filename argument which allows you to output all of the information into a file in the area directory in the shell rather that outputting it to the screen. Of course, you still need shell access to be able to read the file created.
This function and help file were originally written by Kyless on The Mind's Eye (slaughterdog@yahoo.com).

Areas Commands Report Score Time

Syntax: areas Syntax: commands Syntax: report Syntax: score Syntax: time Syntax: weather

COMMANDS shows you all the commands in the game.
REPORT shows your current statistics to you and also announces them to other players in the room. SCORE shows much more detailed statistics to you only. Your ability scores are shown as true value(current value), so for example Str: 15(23) means you have a 15 strength from training, but a 23 strength from other factors (spells or items).

Armor

Syntax: cast armor <character>
This spell decreases (improves) the armor class of the target character by 20 points.

Weasummon Armsummon

Syntax: weasummon <weapon> Syntax: armsummon <armor|shield> By drawing on the magic identifying a special item as yours, you are able to call the item to you regardless of where the item is. Only special items are able to be called in this manner. An example can be found in the weapons used by the Champions of the Order of the Sword.

Fire Arrow Missile

Syntax: fire <target> Syntax: fire <missile> <target> Syntax: fire <missile> <target> <direction> Syntax: fire <target> <direction> Taking advantage of distance, a person is able to fire a missile, whether it is an arrow, a sling bullet, or something else, at a target. The person must hold a weapon capable of firing the object in their primary hand, and must either hold the ammunition or have it in a readily available container made especially for holding the ammunition ready. For example, a ranger holding a bow and an arrow, may fire at a target. If the ranger's hands are empty, but he is wearing a quiver, he may fire arrow target.

'Ash Skin'

Syntax: cast 'ash skin' <victim> A druid life is spent in the service and protection of nature. So it is no surprise that in their effort to protect the very surroundings around them they are able to call upon nature itself to attack an opponent or victims skin leaving it dry, brittle and cracked to the point that any significant heat, or flame would cause much more damage then it normally would.

Assail

Syntax: assail <victim> In most fights, what one targets, one continues to hit unless rescued. Certain fighters are trained in the ability to assail another target, all the while ignoring that the first target is still attacking them. The true tactician, in this way, can select the weaker opponent to beat first, improving the odds.

Syntax: at <location> <command>
At executes the given command (which may have arguments) at the given location. The location may be specified as a vnum, as the name of a mobile, or as the name of an object.
At works by temporarily moving you to that location, executing the command, and then moving you back (if the command didn't change your location).

Atrophy

Syntax: cast atrophy <victim> The Necromancer possesses the spell to literally disintegrate the muscles of their Victim. The atrophied victim would suffer from a loss of strength as their limbs distort and waste away.

Typing a command sets the action , typing it again removes it.

Avian Avians

The avian race is a very secretive and mysterious one. They are the size of giants, towering over any human, but weigh about the same as an elf. Their slight bone structure allows their wings to carry them as they fly from place to place, but it also requires them to rely on mental prowess instead of brawn for survival. Many speculate that they are a people who evolved in the mountains, perhaps magically. However they came to be, they are fiercely religious, and worship a nature diety. Most choose to become druids since that allows them to be closest to their god, however they do well in clerical magicks as well. They have uncanny powers of sight, and it is said that an avian can see everything you do. For this reason many avians are hired as watchkeepers, and they make wonderful explorers and missionaries. Their amazingly unusual bodies, which basically look like emaciated humans with wings, and the fact that they are used to an isolated environment, makes them very susceptible to disease and poison. Many an avian has ventured out of his or her homeland only to fall victim to one of the many plagues that ravage the world at large.

Exotic Weapons Weapon Weaponsmaster Axe Bow Club Dagger Flail Mace Polearm Quarterstaff Spear Sword Whip

Each weapon skill applies to a specific group of armaments, and determines how well a character fights with a particular weapon. The weaponsmaster group provides talent in all weapons (save exotics), from chair legs to halberds. If the character has the parry skill as well, he can parry incoming attacks. The chance of parrying is best if the character in question is skilled at both his weapon and his opponent's.
The weapon skills consist of the following:
weaponsmaster skill group of all weapons listed below (save exotic weaponry) axe the use of axes, ranging from hand to great (but not halberds) club skill in the most basic type of blunt weapon dagger the use of knives and daggers, and other stabbing weapons flail skill in ball-and-chain type weapons mace this skill includes clubs and hammers as well as maces polearm the use of pole weapons (except spears), including halberds quarterstaff Skill in quarterstaves. spear this skill covers both spears and staves, but not polearms sword the warrior's standby, from rapier to claymore whip the use of whips, chains, and bullwhips exotic the use of strange magical weapons
The exotic skill cannot be purchased, and is dependent solely upon level.

Backstab BS Circle

Backstab is the favored attack of thieves, murderers, and other rogues. It can be used with any weapon type, but is most effective with piercing weapons. The damage inflicted by a backstab is determined by the attacker's level, his weapon skill, his backstab skill, and the power of his opponent. Only thieves may learn the backstab. Some thieves have the ability to circle around behind the opponent while fighting and stab them in the back again.

Bandage

Syntax: bandage <target> Being able to bandage your own wounds and the wounds of others takes more than just some cloth wrappings. Knowing which plants and herbs will aid in the healing of cuts and scrapes is also vital. That is why only those following the paths of cleric, ranger, and druid have learned this skill. With bandages, you will rest easier, and your wounds will heal faster. Spells such as imbue will improve healing even more.

Bank 'Bank balance' 'Bank deposit' 'Bank withdraw'

Syntax: bank balance Syntax: bank deposit <amount> <coin type> Syntax: bank withdraw <amount> <coin type> Banking can only be done at a bank with a teller. Money deposited in the bank is safe from all theft, but if you need it to purchase goods you will need to withdraw enough. There is a fee taken on all deposits, but withdrawing money is free.

Retrieve Place Bard Unbard

'Bark Skin'

Syntax: cast 'bark skin' <character>
Any new druid or one who is in the venerable years of his/her life, knows how strong the bark of trees can be. In their devotion to be one with nature they have harnessed a way to take those same protection that bark offers trees and transfer it onto them selves.

Barrage

Syntax: cast 'barrage' <victim>
A druid in their time alone and being one with nature, become attuned to all aspects of nature, from the water, earth, and air around them. To the very light to which we all see in the daytime, in seeing this energy they have focused this light into a force able to inflict damage upon their foes.

Bash Shieldbash SB

The bash skill is a warrior talent, a brute-force attack designed to knock your foe to his knees. Its success depends on many factors, including the bash rating, your weight, and the size of your opponent. Bashing a dragon is not generally a wise idea. There is also a type of bashing that involves a shield. An alias is sb.

Basics 'Rot Basics'

The basic skills:
Every character starts with two skill groups, one for their class and a default set that all characters receive. The default skills are:
recall essential escape skill (see help recall) scrolls reading of scrolls and other magical volumes staves use of magical staves wands use of magical wands
for class defaults, check the classes themselves.

'Bear Claws'

Syntax: cast 'bear claws' A druid is able to gather and focus the essence of a bear and form it into powerful gloves that aid in tearing apart their opponents.

Berserk

Only powerful warriors can master berserking, the ability to enter insane rage in combat. Its effects are not altogether unlike the frenzy spell -- a huge surge of combat prowess, coupled with a disregard for personal safety. Berserking warriors are more resistant to the effects of magic.

'Birch Skin'

Syntax: cast 'birch skin' <victim>
It is widely known through out the realm how unreliable and un-sturdy a birch tree is, it's limbs and branches easily broken without much force of strength applied. A druid realizing this potential, can inflict onto his foes the very same properties of a birch trees flimsy bark allowing the druid a slight advantage in combat.

'Blade Barrier'

Syntax: cast 'blade barrier'
A cleric might be of faith and abhor bladed weaponry in general, but it comes to a point, that one must consider where do you draw the line in defense of one self. In true ingenuity of clerics they have created a spell that would engulf them in a circle of blades constantly spinning around them to protect them from the attacks of others. Any enemy foolish enough to try and attack the cleric would soon learn the price of their mistake, and the pain of the many swirling blades.

Bless

Syntax: cast bless <character> Syntax: cast bless <object>
This spell improves the to-hit roll and saving throw versus spell of the target character by 1 for every 8 levels of the caster. It may also be cast on an object to temporarily bless it (blessed weapons, for example, are more effective against demonic beings).

Blindness

Syntax: cast blindness <victim>
This spell renders the target character blind.

Note Notes Changes News Penalty Penalties Ideas Weddings Story Stories Unread Board

The notes on ROT replace the bulletin boards and mail systems found on many other muds. The following options are usable:
reading notes: note list : show all notes (unread notes are marked with an N) note read : either by number, or read next to read unread notes note remove : removes a note that you wrote or are the target of note catchup : markes all notes as read writing new notes: note to : sets the to line (playername, clanname, immortal, or all) note subject : sets the subject for a new note note write : puts you in edit mode (.h for help @ to end) note clear : erase a note in progress note show : shows the note you are working on note post : posts a new note. This MUST be done to post a note.
When you log in, you will be informed if there are unread notes waiting. Type note read (or change read, etc.) to scroll through them one at a time. Six other note directories exist, these are ideas, news, changes, weddings, stories, and penalties (gods only). They are used the exact same way, for example idea read 5 will read idea #5. Posting to the news, changes, and weddings boards is restricted. The 'unread' or 'board' commands can be used to show your unread notes on all the note spools.

'Bonded Curse'

Syntax: cast 'bonded curse' <object> By harnessing the evil auras surrounding all creation, a necromancer is able to lay a powerful curse upon any object they can hold. Once cast, the object so cursed cannot be removed once held, which makes the spell tactically valuable in many situations.

'Bone Darts'

Syntax: cast 'bone darts' <victim>
Utilising parts of the deceased is a Necromantic specialty. Using exhumed bones a Necromancer can splinter and then hurtle the shards at anything in the Vicinity. However, this spell requires an ample store of bones on their person.

'Book Writing'

Book Writing Syntax: book <obj> <command> [arguments] Commands: write edit author language langskill save finish write - Writes a new page in the book edit - Edits page <num> author - Signs the author of the book language - Sets the language the book is written in langskill - Sets the skill of the language save - Saves the book to disk finish - Finishes the book and prevents future changes When writing a book, first have one in your inventory. Next to start writing, use "book keyword write" where keyword is how you interact with the book (book, journal, etc). The other options can be set if desired, or left alone. When finished writing, use "book keyword save" to save the contents of the book. "book keyword finish" is for books that no longer need editing.

Sioned Bot Bots

Sioned is the only bot allowed in the lands of M'dhavian. She exists to give helpful spells to travellers until mages and healers are able to do the job instead. She also will chat with you if you try to strike up a conversation, though she does get stuck on certain ideas at times. To have her give you spells, send her a tell with the name of the spell. For example: "tell sioned armor" will have her cast the spell armor. "Help", "Shields", and "Others" have special meaning for her. She will not cast healing spells, and she is subject to normal limits such as stone skin only being castable on oneself. If I ever find her being abused, she will be removed, there are other ways to get the spells she casts.

Brandish Quaff Recite Zap

Syntax: brandish Syntax: quaff <potion> Syntax: recite <scroll> <target> Syntax: zap <target> Syntax: zap
BRANDISH brandishes a magical staff. QUAFF quaffs a magical potion (as opposed to DRINK, which drinks mundane liquids). RECITE recites a magical scroll; the <target> is optional, depending on the nature of the scroll. ZAP zaps a magical wand at a target. If the target is not specified, and you are fighting someone, then that character is used for a target.
You must HOLD a wand or a staff before using BRANDISH or ZAP.
All of these commands use up their objects. Potions and scrolls have a single charge. Wands and staves have multiple charges. When a magical object has no more charges, it will be consumed.
These commands may require an item skill to be succesful, see the help entries on the skills scrolls, staves, and wands for more information.

Brief Compact

Brief and compact help set your display options for the game. Typing brief toggles on and off the showing of room descriptions when you move around (considerably reducing the text to be processed), and typing compact removes the extra blank line before your prompt.

Bug Typo

Syntax: bug <message> Syntax: idea <message> Syntax: typo <message>
These commands will take your message and record it into a file as feedback to the mud implementors.

Building

Do you want to help build areas to expand the Lands of M'dhavian?
We do accept builders to help with area building, and have come up with the following application process:
1) Write a proposal for a 25 room area that will fit in the theme. This proposal should have a location in mind, along with the general layout of the rooms, the mobs, and the objects that would go in this area. A level range could also be helpful.
2) Note if you have prior building experience in the proposal.
3) Read the pixieOLCguide linked from the homepage. It has the guildelines we build by in it. There are web pages with mob stats and weapon averages.
4) Keep in mind that Arvik is the head builder, Joxtur only handles the progs.

'Burning Hands' 'Shocking Grasp'

Syntax: c 'burning hands' <victim> Syntax: c 'shocking grasp' <victim> Burning hands is a low level spell learned by those training to be mages or wizards. It conjures a pair of flaming hands which, with good aim, can deal damage to a foe.
Likewise, shocking grasp also conjures a pair of hands which will shock an opponent and deal a fair amount of damage.

Butchering

Syntax: butcher <corpse> Syntax: butcher heart Butchering is the art of turning a corpse into a pile of edible meat. The corpse must be empty to be butchered, and larger corpses are more easily carved into meat.
You also have the option of carving the heart out of a corpse. Butchering, like all crafts, can be learned without aid through much practice, though a teacher can help.

Buy List Sell Value

Syntax: buy <object> Syntax: buy <object> <target> Syntax: list Syntax: list <target> Syntax: list <object> <target> Syntax: sell <object> Syntax: sell <object> <target> Syntax: value <object> Syntax: value <object> <target> BUY buys an object from a shop keeper. When multiple items of the same name are listed, type 'buy n.item', where n is the position of the item in a list of that name. So if there are two swords, buy 2.sword will buy the second. If you want to buy multiples of an item, use an * (buy 5*pie will buy 5 pies). These can be combined into (for example) buy 2*2.shield, as long as the * is first. The optional <target> can be used when there are many merchants in the room.
LIST lists the objects the shop keeper will sell you. List <name> shows you only objects of that name.
SELL sells an object to a shop keeper.
VALUE asks the shop keeper how much he, she, or it will buy the item for.

'Call Lightning'

Syntax: cast 'call lightning'
This spell works only out of doors, and only when the weather is bad. It calls down lightning bolts from your god.

Calm

Syntax: cast 'calm'
One of the most useful and often overlooked abilities of the master cleric is the calm spell, which can put an end to all violence in a room. Calmed creatures will not attack of their own volition, and are at a disadvantage in combat as long as the spell soothes their minds. The more violence activity there is in a room, the harder the spell, and it is all or nothing -- either all combat in the room is ended (with the exception of those who are immune to magic) or none is.

Caltrops

Syntax: caltrops <victim>
Battle sages agree that footwork is half the battle. Thieves argue that sharp pieces of metal in the soles of feet can be very discouraging to fancy footwork. It is not unheard of for a thief to dip into his pocket in the heat of battle to scatter deadly spikes in the path of his foe for an extra edge.

Camp

Syntax: camp
While in the wilds, nothing is more heartening than a well built camp complete with campfire. Restful, relaxing, it makes a good resting spot nearly anywhere, though some animals would still be more than willing to attack a party camped out.

'Cantrips Group'

Cantrips tend to be simple spells that all mages learn in training. The cantrips group has the following spells:
cancellation a powerful dispel, used for removing spells from friends continual light creates an eternal light source dispel magic removes spells from enemies, not as effective as cancel identify gives information about the nature of an object refresh restores energy to tired adventurers ventriloquate allows the caster to put words in someone's mouth create rose creates a beautiful red rose

Cast

Syntax: cast <spell> <target>
Before you can cast a spell, you have to practice it. The more you practice, the higher chance you have of success when casting. Casting spells costs mana. The mana cost decreases as your level increases.
The <target> is optional. Many spells which need targets will use an appropriate default target, especially during combat.
If the spell name is more than one word, then you must quote the spell name. Example: cast 'cure critic' frag. Quoting is optional for single-word spells. You can abbreviate the spell name.
You can also shorten the words to just as much as you need to cast a spell. For example, to cast cure critical, you can type just c 'cu cr' <target> In this case, the u in cu is important, especially if you also know the spell cause critical.
When you cast an offensive spell, the victim usually gets a saving throw. The effect of the spell is reduced or eliminated if the victim makes the saving throw successfully.
See also the help sections for individual spells.

Cleric Priest 'Cleric Basics' 'Cleric Default'

Clerics are the most defensively orientated of all the classes. Most of their spells focus on healing or defending the faithful, with their few combat spells being far less powerful than those of mages. However, clerics are the best class by far at healing magics, and they posess an impressive area of protective magics, as well as fair combat prowess.
Clerics recieve the power to levitate a shield in front of them once they reach level 50, freeing both hands for weapons.
Clerics are allowed only the use of blunted weapons, because of their vows.

Do not load items more than 4 levels below their normal level (i.e. no level 5 ogre gauntlets). 8) Do not undermine the authority of a higher level god. If you see that someone has been frozen or nochannelled do not restore their priveleges.

Consider

Syntax: consider <character> Syntax: consider all
CONSIDER tells you what your chances are of killing a character. Of course, it's only a rough estimate. Consider all will consider each character in the same room.

Counter

Fighters often are expected to take whatever damage is dished out to them, but the secret to countering another's attack quickly, while still striking out with a regular attack, has been found by certain fighters. By using this technique, a fighter counters an opponent's attack with their own, then hits with the regular attacks.

Crafts Crafting

Crafting is an art that does not interest everyone, nor is it meant to. Though crafts can make things seen nowhere else, not everyone has the patience required to become a master at it.
Languages and crafts here share two common traits: They do not require previous skill (they can be learned with no prior skill), and they can be taught by another. In the most technical sense, teaching is also a craft, as it follows both rules.
To learn a language, one must hear it spoken enough to begin to distinguish the patterns of the symbols, translating it into a pattern the listener understands. A teacher in this instance speaks the language in a way to make the patterns clearer to the listener, helping the listener in learning.
Much the same is true of crafting, one learns best by doing, and having a teacher aids in the doing in that the teacher can correct problems in the technique of the student.

'Create Food'

Dirt 'Dirt Kicking'

Consider by some to be a cowardly skill, dirt kicking gives the clever combatant a chance to blind his opponent by casting dirt into his eyes. The blindness does not last long, but can provide an edge in combat. Dexterity helps in hitting or avoiding a dirt kick. Only warriors and thieves may learn this skill.

Disarm

Disarm is a somewhat showy and unreliable skill, designed to relieve your opponent of his weapon. The best possible chance of disarming occurs when you are skilled both your own and your opponent's weapon. Only talented thieves and warriors may learn this skill.

Disconnect

Syntax: disconnect <name>
Disconnect breaks a player's link to the game, dumping them back to the telnet prompt. This is a non-lethal way of getting rid of spammers and annoying players.

'Disease Resistance'

Syntax: cast 'disease resistance' No one surpasses the Necromancer's ability to inflict disease and decay upon hapless victims. Using this knowledge they are able to cast upon themselves a spell of resistance to such afflictions. This is a resistance only and by no means an immunity and even the most powerful of Necromancers can succumb to a powerful poison.

Dismiss

Syntax: dismiss <victim> There are times when a servant has outlived its usefulness or when it is time for the servant to be retired. It is possible for that servant to be dismissed. It is an amiable break, and there are no hard feelings held by the servant so dismissed.

Mount Dismount Tether Untether

Syntax: mount <target> Syntax: dismount Syntax: tether Syntax: untether All players have the ability to learn how to ride. Mounts can be found in mount shops, or even in the wilderness. To ride, one mounts the creature. To keep a mount in one place, tether it. A ridden mount cannot be tethered, nor can someone tether a mount not belonging to them. To ride again, the mount must be untethered.

'Dispel Magic'

Syntax: cast 'dispel magic' <character> cast 'cancellation' <characte> Both of these spells remove magical effects from the target. Dispel magic has a reduced chance of working, and is considering an attack spell. Cancellation can only be used on allies, but is much more effective and does not provoke attack. Unfortunately, the spells do not discriminate between harmful and benign spells. The chance of dispelling is based on the level of the spell. Permanent spells (such as mobile sanctuary) are much harder to remove. Not all spells may be dispelled, notable examples are poison and plague.

'Divinations Group'

The divinations group has the following spells: detect invis allows the caster to see the unseeable detect location caster detects location magic is used on them detect magic reveals magical auras to the caster locate object finds a specific item scry allows caster to see far off places

'Divine Aura'

Syntax: cast 'divine aura' A cleric in the service of healing, and protecting life against the darkness have honed their holy abilities into this spell allowing clerics to surround themselves in a divine aura that raises their natural resistances against dark spells.

Dodge

In the words of one wise warrior, 'the best way to block a blow is to not be where it lands'. The dodge skill honors this tradition, by improving the character's natural agility to the point where many blows will miss the target. The chance of dodging is also affected by the dexterity of the attacker and the target. Any class may learn dodging.

North South East West Up Down

Syntax: north Syntax: south Syntax: east Syntax: west Syntax: up Syntax: down
Use these commands to walk in a particular direction.

Draconian Draconians

The draconians are a fearsome race, and almost as secretive as the avians. Like the avians, they can fly, and come from some not-so-well-known place far away. Unlike any other race though, draconians are not mammalian. They more closely resemble lizards, snakes, and especially dragons. They tower over even giants in size, reaching over 12 feet in height, with leathery wings that can stretch to over 30 feet when extended, and can fold up neatly on the back, causing no real hindrance in movement. The sheer size of a draconian DOES, however, cause problems, because most things in the world are built with human size in mind. Draconians are very strong, and tougher even than dwarves. Unlike most races that reach such large proportions, they retain a keen mind, and make good mages as well as warriors. Because of their strange biology, and some degree of reptilian nature, draconians are immune to almost all poisons and plagues.

'Draconian Group'

The Draconian spell group deals with the magic of dragons -- in this case, bringing forth the devastating power of their breath weapons upon your foes. Only mages have the mental training necessary to cast these spells, and few of them ever reach the level of mastery required to use them.
acid breath uses the black dragon's attack upon an enemy fire breath calls forth the flames of a red dragon frost breath drains the life from a foe with the power a white dragon gas breath suffocates your enemies with poison gas lightning breath summons the electrical fury of a blue dragon

Drag Push

Syntax: drag <victim> <direction> Syntax: push <victim> <direction> These simple commands offer the ability to remove a target from a room in a specified direction.

GET gets an object, either lying on the ground, or from a container, or even from a corpse. TAKE is a synonym for get.
GIVE gives an object, or some coins, to another character.
PUT puts an object into a container.
DROP, GET and PUT understand the object names 'ALL' for all objects and 'ALL.object' for all objects with the same name. GET understands the same syntax as buy, so '5*stew' would take five stews

Druid Sage 'Druid Basics' 'Druid Default'

Druids are the protectors of nature. Some spend their lives in forests, others in deserts, and some still in seas or mountainous regions. Where a druid can be closer to nature and life than to the constructs of mortals, that druid can be happy.

'Dual Wield' 'Improved Dual Wield'

Syntax: dual <weapon> The ability to wield a weapon in each hand is one only those who are dedicated to the fighting life can master. It takes much practice and skill to effectively wield a weapon in each hand. The weapon held in the off hand must be the same weight or lighter than the one held in the primary hand. Improved dual wield allows an extra attack with the weapon held in the off hand. The off hand must also be empty before a weapon can be wielded.

Dupe

Syntax: dupe <character> <name>
DUPE will add or remove a dupe account name to a list kept on the players account. Anytime this player connects, all characters on their dupe list will be forced to quit (except immortals). This should be used only on those who flagrantly violate the rule against bringing in more than one character at a time and using one character to build a second. Entering a dupe that is already on the list will cause it to be removed.
Using DUPE <character> without the second argument will list that characters current dupes.

'Dust Devil'

Syntax: cast 'dust devil' <victim> Nature itself has many things when combined can be a formidable weapon, a druid harness both the element of earth and air into a tiny this tiny destructive force, by combining them together a druid creates a small whirlwind of flying dirt that literally is thrown at the victim.

Dwarf Dwarves

Dwarves are a short and stocky race, nearly as broad at the shoulders as they are tall. Most range from three feet tall to nearly five feet tall, and most are around four feet tall. All dwarves are bearded, and any dwarf without a full beard is either a child or an outcast. Their skin color ranges from a light bronze to a rich brown color, and they tend to have white, blonde, red, brown, or black hair. Most dwarves tend to be quite strong, and they tend to be more comfortable inside their mountain tunnels. The various groups or clans of dwarves can be difficult for an outsider to distinguish between, but there are enough signs that dwarves know at a glance where another dwarf hails from. Dwarves are excellent stonemasons and metallurgists, and their homes within the mountains can be quite elegant. A few dwarves can be found wandering away from the mountains, but most seem to prefer living within the western mountain range.

Languages Elven Dwarvish Giantish Faeril Goblinese Gnomish Halflen Minotaurian Orcish Ogrish

Syntax: languages <lang> <text> <lang> to <person> <text> There are many languages spoken throughout the lands, if you happen to know a language other than common, you can speak it to everyone or to a single target. Typing languages (or lang for short) you can see how well you know the languages you have learned.

Eagleeyes

Syntax: eagleeyes
Being able to focus intently on one's surroundings is a feat that only those in tune with nature can accomplish. Rangers trained in this ability are able to pick out things hidden to most, and are able to see more clearly at a distance.

Earthbind

Syntax: cast earthbind <victim>
Druids knowing the power of the element of earth and the great hardness of rock and stone have cleverly devised this spell. A druid is able to encase a victims feet in the very earth that we walk upon. Doing this allows either the druid to flee with out being chased, or have free reign upon their victim from afar.

Earthmaw

Syntax: cast 'earthmaw' <victim> Harnessing the power of the element of earth, a druid can literally force the ground to crack open and swallow all his opponents.

Earthquake

Echo Gecho Pecho

Syntax: echo <message> gecho <message> pecho <character> <message>
These commands all perform similar functions. Echo sends the message to all characters in the same room as the user, with no indication of who sent it. Gecho does the same for all players connected to the game, and pecho sends the message to the player specified as the target. Any higher-level god will see a prompt in front of your message, informing him or her that it is an echo.

'Second Attack' 'Third Attack' 'Fourth Attack' 'Fifth Attack' 'Sixth Attack' 'Seventh Attack' 'Eighth Attack'

Training in multiple attacks allow the character a chance at additional strikes in combat -- Though even at 100% these skills do NOT guarantee all extra attacks every round.

Elf Elves

Elves are a slight and slender race overall, with graceful lines and pointed ears. They tend to be slightly shorter than humans, though there are a few groups of wild elves who are actually slightly taller. They tend to have green eyes with a slit pupil, fair skin, and light or dark colored hair, but it is rumored that they have the innate ability to alter those characteristics, even so much as to appear human. Elves are a magical race, and have homes in nearly as many places as humans, though elves can live for a few centuries and are not known to have many children. The largest elven cities are apart from other races, primarily in the vast forests. Elves are most difficult to spot when they are at home amongst the trees.
There are two main societies of elves, those who hide in their forests and shun all other races, and those who have been outcast from that society and seek to protect those trapped in the main society, "rescuing" them from the sometimes harsh life. These "rebels" are the only elves that travel the rest of the lands, and most attempt to overcome their racial predjudices against all other races.
The isolationist society withdrew during the Schism and blame the other races for causing the Schism. The elders of this society choose the training paths of every elf in the city, and the elves are further separated into a caste system. It is no wonder that there are those who seek to escape such a culture.

Emote Pmote Pose Social Smote

Syntax: emote <action> Syntax: pmote <action> Syntax: smote <action> Syntax: pose
EMOTE is used to express emotions or actions. Besides EMOTE, there are several dozen built-in social commands, such as CACKLE, HUG, and THANK (type socials or help socials for a listing).
PMOTE is similar to emote, but will substitute you and your for a target's name (i.e. pmote bonks Alander will be read as bonks you by Alander, and as bonks Alander by everyone else).
SMOTE works exactly like pmote, except you must place your name somewhere in the string, and it will show that string to everyone in the room.
POSE produces a random message depending on your class and level.

Empower

Syntax: cast empower <spell>
This spell magically binds another spell to either a scroll, or a potion, depending on the type of spell being bound. This spell can be quite costly in terms of mana, since not only does it use mana for this spell, but also for the spell being bound.

'Enchant Armor'

The enchant armor spell imbues armor with powerful protective magics. It is not nearly as reliable as enchant weapon, being far more prone to destructive effects. Each succesful enchant increases the plus of the armor by 1 or 2 points, and raises its level by one.

'Enchant Weapon'

Syntax: cast 'enchant weapon' <weapon>
This spell magically enchants a weapon, increasing its to-hit and to-dam bonuses by one or two points. Multiple enchants may be cast, but as the weapon grows more and more powerful, it is more likely to be drained or destroyed by the magic. Also, every successful enchant increases the level of the weapon by one...and there is no turning back.

'Enchantments Group'

The enchantments group has the following spells: charm person turns an enemy into a trusted friend enchant armor increases the protective value of armor enchant weapon increases the hit and damage bonuses of a weapon fireproof shields items from the harmful effects of fire and acid recharge restores power to a depleted wand or staff

'Energy Drain'

Syntax: cast 'energy drain' <victim>
This spell saps the experience points, mana, and movement points of its target.

'Enhanced Damage'

Warriors and skilled thieves can become skilled enough in combat that they are able to inflict more damage than other classes. Enhanced damage is checked for with each hit, although with a low skill, the chance of receiving a bonus is very low indeed.

Entangle

Syntax: cast 'entangle' <victim> A druid learns through the power of nature that not only can he inflict harm on others or protect himself or his allies, but he also has the power to immobilize his foes as well. This spell allows a druid to create fines the spring forth from the ground entangling themselves around a victim effectively stopping any form of retreat or movement.

Envenom

The envenom skill is a cowardly skill practiced only by thieves, designed to win a battle through alchemy and treachery rather than skill or strength. Or, put another way, it's a skill used by the smart to kill the foolish. Food, drink, and weapons may be envenomed, with varying effects. Poisoned food or drink puts a mild poison spell on the consumer, and is unlikely to be more than a minor inconvience (after all, the typical adventurer could drink sewer water with only a trace of the runs). A poisoned weapon, on the other hand, can inflict serious damage on an opponent as the poison burns through his bloodstream. But be careful, blade venom evaporates quickly and is rendered almost powerless by repeated blows in combat.

Equipment Inventory

Syntax: equipment Syntax: inventory
EQUIPMENT lists your equipment (armor, weapons, and held items). INVENTORY lists your inventory.

'Ethereal Hands'

Syntax: c 'ethereal hands' Summoned from beyond, ethereal assistance helps protect the caster from harm, blocking some physical attacks. Combined with a shield, it can prove to be a very effective defense.

'Ethereal Mail'

Syntax: cast 'ethereal mail' Mages are able to harness the aethyr into protective armor to cover them. This armor is quite solid for a time, though it does not last forever.

'Evocations Group'

The evocations group has the following spells: acid blast sends forth a stream of acid to eradicate your foes burning hands sends a blast of fire into your foe chain lightning sends lightning bolts arcing through foes cone of cold sends forth a conical spray of ice to strike foes fire and ice strike a foe with alternating fire and ice fireball a powerful spell, great for burning your enemy to ashes ice ray focuses a beam of ice to strike foe ice storm calls upon icy winds to harm an enemy magic missile send a weak energy bolt into a foe meteor swarm calls down meteors from the heavens multi missile sends many energy bolts into foes shocking grasp sends a powerful jolt into a foe

Examine Look

Syntax: look Syntax: look <object> Syntax: look <character> Syntax: look <direction> Syntax: look <keyword> Syntax: look in <container> Syntax: look in <corpse> Syntax: examine <container> Syntax: examine <corpse>
LOOK looks at something and sees what you can see.
EXAMINE is short for 'LOOK container' followed by 'LOOK IN container'.

Exhume

Syntax: exhume Those familiar with the deceased often have more need of parts of those deceased than those departed themselves. In the right areas, such a necromancer can exhume a bone or two from the ground that can be used in certain other spells.

Exits

Syntax: exits
Tells you the visible exits of the room you are in. Not all exits are visible. You can use the 'bump' technique to find hidden exits. (Try to walk in a certain direction and see what you bump into). How to read the exit prompt: [Exits: |North| (South) |East| West] |North| - Exit blocked by a spell or skill, will unblock in a few ticks (South) - Exit closed or locked, unlock or open it |East| - Exit has a passable wall, beware, these can hurt you West - Exit is freely open.

Experience Level Xp

Your character advances in power by gaining experience. You need a set amount of experience points for each level based on your creation points.
You gain experience by:
being part of a group that kills a monster
You lose experience by:
fleeing from combat recalling out of combat being the target of certain spells dying
The experience you get from a kill depends on several things: how many players are in your group; your level versus the level of the monster; how many of this monster have been killed lately; and some random variation.

Explored

Syntax: Explored Certain adventurers like to brag about how much of the lands they have travelled, and seek to explore every nook of the map of the known world. Using the explored command, the adventurers can see how much of the current area has been explored, and how much of the explored world they have seen. A true adventurer also makes use of the "map explore" feature to see what visible areas have not been explored.

Fade

Syntax: fade Fade is a passive skill that allows you to fade out of reality to avoid blows.

'Faerie Fire'

Syntax: cast 'faerie fire' <victim>
This spell increases (makes worse) the armor class of its victim. For each level of the caster, the victim's armor class is increased by two points.

'Faerie Fog'

Syntax: cast 'faerie fog'
This spell reveals all manner of invisible, hidden, and sneaking creatures in the same room as you.

'Faerie Wings'

Syntax: cast 'faerie wings'
A druid learns and sees the varying denizens of nature but none so unique and rare as those of the Fae, these tiny creatures are rare occurrences among nature and very hard to spot at times as well. However learning from nature, and all things allows a druid to re-create these tiny creatures in part. A druid is able to recreate the wings to which a faerie is able to fly upon their own back gifting themselves with ability of flight.

Scan Farsight

scan farsight Syntax: scan scan <direction> cast 'farsight'
The scan command allows the user to detect movement in surrounding areas.
The farsight spell expands the caster's consciousness, allowing him or her to see far away beings like they were in the same room. It takes intense concentration, often leaving the caster helpless for several minutes. The spell may be used for a general scan that reaches a short distance in all directions, or with a directional component to see creatures much farther away.

'Fast Healing'

The fast healing skill improves wound healing rates, whether walking, resting, or sleeping. It represents knowledge of healing herbs or just general toughness and stamina. Fast healing is checked every tick, and it is possible for it to fail. All class may learn this skill, but mages find it very difficult to master, due to their bookish lifestyle.

'Fauna Group'

Druids not only study the elements, but the animals that live in the wild. The fauna group has the following spells:
animal summoning calls an animal companion from the wilderness bear claws makes claws from the spirit of a bear giant growth Makes a pet grow larger and stronger faerie fire surrounds the target in a glowing aura faerie fog reveals all hidden creatures in the room

Fester

Syntax: cast fester <victim> Most wounds, if left untreated, can fester and cause extra pain to the victim. In much the same way, a talented necromancer can afflict their victim with diseases and poisons, then fester those wounds to cause the victim much extra pain and discomfort.

'Find Water'

Syntax: find The ability to find water in the wilderness is an important one for woodsmen, who dislike cities for the most part and may wander the wilds for long periods of time.

Finger

Syntax: finger <name> The finger command will tell you the last time a player logged off the system. The entered name must match the players name completely, and cannot be abbreviated.

'Fireball'

Syntax: c fireball <victim> This spell allows the caster to summon a flaming ball of magic which can be hurled at a foe. It is similar to magic missile, but in a more refined form where the energy has been converted to fire. This spell requires a fair amount of skill and is available to the more learned mages and wizards. It is able to deal a sizable amount of damage.

Fireproof

Syntax: cast 'fireproof' <object>
The fireproof spell creates a short-lived protective aura around an object, to protect it from the harmful effects of acid and flame. Items protected by this spell are not harmed by acid, fire, or the heat metal spell. Although inexpensive to use, the spell's short duration makes it impractical for protecting large numbers of objects.

Shielding Fireshield Iceshield Shockshield

These arcane and costly spells are only for the most learned of the ranks of mages and clerics wandering the land. They require great amounts of energy and can be very devastating. The following spells are included in this group and are listed in order of strength:
iceshield surrounds target with a thick shell of ice fireshield surrounds target with a flaming inferno shockshield surrounds target with a crackling sphere
These spells were coded by Kelson (Micah Bartell) for use with ROM based muds, and are released under the GNU license.(use them, edit them, give me mention) Questions and comments can be sent to micah@cse.unl.edu.

Firestream

Syntax: cast 'firestream' <victim> A druid harnessing the element of fire can harness it in such a way that they are able to project it forth in a stream of fire at heir enemies.

Firewind

Syntax: cast 'firewind' <victim> A druid who harnesses the power of both wind and fire creates this spell. A druid is able to combine the two elements into a powerful blast of fire and air that damages all foes caught in it's destructive path.

Flag Flags

The following are the description flags for players and mobiles: [VHCTPIFLEGSQ] Where: V = Invisible H = Hiding C = Charmed T = Translucent (pass_door) P = Faerie Fire I = Ice Shield F = Fire Shield L = Shock Shield E = Evil G = Good S = Sanctuary Q = Quest
The following are the description flags for equipment: [VEBMGHQ] Where: V = Invisible E = Evil B = Blessed M = Magical G = Glowing H = Humming Q = Quest
You may switch to the old format for flags (as used on other muds) at any time with the 'long' command.

Flamestrike

Syntax: cast 'flamestrike' <victim>
This spell inflicts damage on the victim.

Flash

Syntax: cast 'flash' <victim> The power of light can be a very damaging source, take for instance if a druid were to gather the energy of light around him and release, it in a sudden burst of energy at his victim. This is precisely what the spell flash is a burst of light thrown at the victim.

Flee

Syntax: flee Syntax: rescue <character>
Once you start a fight, you can't just walk away from it. If the fight is not going well, you can attempt to FLEE, or another character can RESCUE you. (You can also RECALL, but this is less likely to work, and costs more experience points, then fleeing).
If you lose your link during a fight, then your character will keep fighting, and will attempt to RECALL from time to time. Your chances of making the recall are reduced, and you will lose much more experience.

Flex

Syntax: flex Knights are trained in abilities that harness their minds and bodies. One such skill is the ability to flex their muscles, preparing the knight to inflict greater damage than most other fighters can.

'Floating Disc'

Syntax: cast 'floating disc'
This useful spell creates a floating field of force which follows the caster around, allowing him or her to pile treasure high with no fear of weight penalties. It lasts no more than twice the casters level in hours, and usually less. It can hold 10 pounds per level of the caster, with a maximum of five pounds per item. The spell requires an open float location on the character, and the only way to remove the disc is to die or allow it to run out of energy.

'Flora Group'

Plantlife is important to any well-rounded Druid, and it can be powerful. The flora group has the following spells:
ash skin makes target's skin vulnerable to fire barkskin makes target's skin hard as bark birch skin makes target's skin as weak as birch bark entangle snares target in a mass of vines green sleeves creates a pair of sleeves that look like intertwined ivy oak skin makes target's skin thick as an oak tree thorn armor creates armor of thorns to protect caster thorn envelope surrounds caster in thorns that strike opponents wall of thorns creates a wall of thorns to block an exit

Flurry

Syntax: flurry
Fighters get taught many new techniques for doing damage to their opponents, and one of these is the Flurry of Blows. This concentrated attack is composed of many quick blows when performed correctly. A warrior needs a lengthy recovery period afterwards, though.

Fly

Syntax: cast 'fly' <character>
This spell enables the target character to fly.

Focus

Syntax: cast focus Focus is a spell that channels healing energy into a room, making health regeneration faster. This stacks with imbue and bandage, so it is very possible to heal within only a few ticks from near death.

Fog

Syntax: cast 'fog'
Anyone who is of any age knows what fog is, and how it always limits visibility of those trying to search, hunt, or even day to day tasks of living. A druid harness the power of water and air is able to coat a room in a thick dense fog that very little would be able to see in much less move around in less they had some aid or took extreme caution.

Follow Group

Syntax: follow <character> Syntax: group Syntax: group <character>
FOLLOW starts you following another character. To stop following anyone else, just FOLLOW <yourself>.
GROUP <character> makes someone who is following you a member of your group. Group members share experience points from kills and may use the GTELL and SPLIT commands. If anyone in your group is attacked, you will automatically join the fight.
If the <character> is already a member of your group, then GROUP will kick out the <character> from your group. Characters can also leave your group by using a FOLLOW command to stop following you.
GROUP with no argument shows statistics for each character in your group.
You may FOLLOW and GROUP only with characters who are within ten levels of your own.

For Wiz_for

FOR ALL <action> FOR MORTALS <action> FOR GODS <action> FOR MOBS <action> Executes action several times, either on ALL players (not including yourself), MORTALS (including trusted characters), GODS (characters with level higher than L_HERO), MOBS (Not recommended) If you insert a # in the action, it will be replaced by the name of the target. If # is a part of the action, the action will be executed for every target in game. If there is no #, the action will be executed for every room containg at least one target, but only once per room. # can be anywhere in the action. Example: FOR ALL SMILE -> you will only smile once in a room with 2 players. FOR ALL TWIDDLE # -> In a room with A and B, you will twiddle A then B. Destroying the characters this command acts upon MAY cause it to fail. Try to avoid something like FOR MOBS PURGE (although it actually works at my MUD). FOR MOBS TRANS 3054 (transfer ALL the mobs to Midgaard temple) does NOT work though :) The command works by transporting the character to each of the rooms with target in them. Private rooms are not violated.

Force

Syntax: force <character> <command> Syntax: force all <command>
FORCE forces one character to execute a command, except of course delete.
Below level 107 (Deity) force can only be used on mobiles, and force all is unavailable. You also cannot 'force orc murder hugo', for example.
FORCE 'all' forces all player characters to execute a command. This is typically used for 'force all save'.

Forget Remember

Syntax: forget <character> remember <character>
Forgetting a player will block out all global messages from that player. Local messages (say, emote, etc..) will still be visible.
Remember will remove a player from your forget list.
Use either command without an argument for a list of players currently forgotten.
