-=[ Spell Components ]=- Spell components are required for spells that have miscellaneous spell effects (see spell_level.doc). Mages then have to quest/kill certain monsters to gain spell components, as a fighter would to get good armour and weapons. It is also an alternative to adding armour, weapons, treasure, or money to a monster. An item classes as a component, can be made 'domain_safe' (ie query_domain_safe() returns 1). These are a list of spell components that will/can be used for spell components. The corpse, and skeleton that are found in directory /obj, the rest in /objects/component. The component name are standard components that are/will be used by spells. If you make a new spell, that requires a spell component. Then add it to the list, and the component to /objects/component. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Component Component Distribution Spell Type Short Name ------------------------------------------------------------------- Ruby, Emerald gem Common Any, div.
