-1 Crusaders~
.
The sole survivers of a battle against the evil forces, in which they
attempted to defend the innocent inhabitants of their part of the world.
Now they work constantly to rebuild their old strength, and again rival the
power of evil such as the {DBlack {RL{regio{Rn{x. They still stand for the protection
of the helpless against the evil of the land.
~
-1 Kyorlites~
.
The Kyorlites have recently emerged from hiding to let their purpose be
known. For thousands of years they have remained in secrecy, plotting their
return to power as they claim is rightfully theirs. They have but one goal,
to prepare the world for the coming of their supreme master, Kyorl. Only
thought to be a monster from children's stories, this deity is painfully
real. Known to his faithful as the Lord of Shadows, he was imprisoned
thousands of years ago by the combined effort of both the forces of Darkness
and Light. Since his disappearance from this plane of existence, people
eventually forgot about his terrible power and of Kyorl altogether. But the
Master of the Demon World bidded his time, knowing that some day he would
find a way to escape from his prison and unleash his vengeance upon the
mortal realm. Eventually Kyorl found the answer to his dilemma, a young
Titan by the name of Mordread that was born with an immense hidden power.
The Lord of the Shadows spoke with the Sorcerer, and showed him the path to
unlocking his massive strength. In return all Kyorl asked was that Mordread
help him exact his revenge. From that day on, Mordread spent every waking
moment of his life furthering the wishes of his Dark Master. He formed the
organization that became known as the Kyorlites, and quickly their ranks
amassed. Closely approaching their goal, Kyorl has ordered his followers to
rise from the shadows once again. Spreading fear across the land, the
Kyorlites align themselves with no one. The choices of those that inhabit
this world are very clear. Join the Kyorlites in their unrelenting quest,
order all rescue baodwyn be swallowed by the Shadows never to be heard from
again.
~
-1 Black Legion~
.
Penance through suffering.
Englightenment through tyranny.
Purge the innocents.
Revere the wicked.
The {DBlack {RL{regio{Rn{x exist
for one purpose, to destroy what
has been created. Drawn together
by an unknown dark force. Their
wicked deeds are everpresent in
the turmoil of civilazation. Their goal
is to unmake it all and throw the
realms into chaos.
There is no point in running, you
are already dead.
~
-1 Hunters~
.
{gH{yu{gt{ye{gr{ys{x is the one clan which kept
{DD{ba{Dr{bk {DB{br{Do{bo{Dd{x from over taking
the city of Gaalstrom after the War of the
Ancients, Hunters for years since have protected
the city from all things evil, and consider
themselves mortal enemies of {DD{ba{Dr{bk {DB{br{Do{bo{Dd{x.
~
-1 Dark Brood Darkbrood~
.
The {DD{ba{Dr{bk {DB{br{Do{bo{Dd{x is an ancient society of
cainites which strive to rid the world of all
mortals, even though they require the blood of
mortals to stay alive. The {DD{ba{Dr{bk {DB{br{Do{bo{Dd{x
considers itself mortal enemies of the {gH{yu{gn{yt{ge{yr{gs{x
as they were the only clan to stand in their way
after the War of the Ancients.
~
0 HOME HOUSE~
.
Homes can be purchased by players for 25,000 platinum coins. Homes may only
be purchased in a designated area, in designated rooms.
Type HOME to see a list of arguments.
Type HOME BUY to purchase a home. If a home is currently owned, or you are not in
a valid home room, you will be notified at that time. You must be carrying 25,000
platinum coins on your person at the time of purchase. If the sale is sucessful, the
coins will be extracted from you, and you will be notified of your purchase.
Type HOME SELL to sell your home. You must be standing in your home in order to
perform this command. You will be reimbursed one half the cost of the home, not
including any items that were in the home at the time of sale.
Type HOME FURNISH to see a list of items available to furnish your home with. The
items are permanat fixtures, and cannot be removed from the home. Certain items,
such as lamps and lanterns, will expire over time, and new ones must be bought.
To purchase an item, type HOME FURNISH <item name>, where item name is the name
on the far left of the HOME FURNISH list. Certain items may also be further
customized by typing HOME FURNISH <item name> <item type>, for example, to purchase
an oak endtable, type HOME FURNISH endtable oak.
Type HOME DESCRIBE to supply a description for your home. Home Describe employs
the OLC room editor, which can be tricky depending on what MUD Client you are
using. If you are using zMUD, you may wish to speak with a Builder or other Immortal
who is familiar with zMUD. While in home describe, all the standard dot commands
are available, such as .h (help) .f (format) .c (clear) .s (show) .lr (line replace)
.ld (line delete) .r (singular replace), and there may be others, dependings on what
version of OLC this MUD employs.
Other HOME commands may be added as the code progresses.
Home Code is originally by Dalsor of AWW - As the Wheel Weaves.

-203 SEDIT~
Syntax:
sedit delete <social>
sedit new <social>
sedit show <social>
sedit <string-name> <social> [string]
SEDIT allows online creation, deletion and editting of socials.
SEDIT DELETE <social> deletes that social. The deletion is irrecoverable,
save for restoring a backup file, so use this command with great care!
SEDIT NEW <social> creates a new, empty social.
SEDIT SHOW <social> shows all of the strings for that social.
SEDIT <string-name> <social> [string] changes a certain of the 7 strings that
make up a social. If you leave out the string, no message will be sent to
the involved characters.
There are 7 strings that make up a social:
cnoarg: Sent to character when no argument typed. E.g. X types HUG and sees:
Hug whom?
onoarg: Sent to others in the room when no argument is given. In the case of
HUG, it is an empty string, so that nothing is shown if a player types HUG
by itself.
cfound: Sent to the character if a target is found. E.g. X types HUG Y:
You hug Y.
vfound: Sent to the victim. E.g. X types HUG Y, and Y sees:
X hugs you.
ofound: Sent to others in room, if target is found. E.g. X types HUG Y.
Everyoune but X and Y see:
X hugs Y.
cself: Sent to the character if she uses the social on herself. E.g. X types
HUG X :
You hug yourself.
oself: Sent to others in room when a player uses a social on herself:
X hugs herself in a vain attempt to get friendship.
To get the player names and sexes correct, you need to use those macros:
$n - name of player
$e - he, she or it, depending on sex of player
$m - him, her or it, depending on sex of player
$s - his, her or its, depending on sex of player.
For the victim, just use the uppercase version. E.g. $N is the name of the
victim, $E is he, she or it depending on victim's sex etc.
So, to make a new social called 'epoke' which would poke eyes out, you would
do the following:
SEDIT NEW epoke
SEDIT cnoarg epoke Poke whose eyes out? (message sent to player)
SEDIT cfound epoke You poke $N's eyes out!
SEDIT vfound epoke $n pokes your eyes out! Ouch..
SEDIT ofound epoke $n pokes $N's eyes out!
SEDIT cself epoke Being bored, you poke your own eyes out.
SEDIT oself epoke $n pokes $s eyes out!
To get more examples, type SEDIT SHOW <social-name> to see one of the
existing socials.
The socials are stored in a file called socials.txt. Manual editting of
that file is not advised. A frequent back-up is recommended. The social
file is updated by the server as soon as anything changes.

109 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.
~
0 BANK SHARES ECONOMY~
Syntax:
bank deposit
bank withdraw
bank balance
bank transfer
bank buy <# of shares>
bank sell <# of shares>
bank check
The Mythran mud bank system enhances the economy of the MUD. In a bank
you can deposit money to your account, withdraw money from it, check your
current bank balance, and transfer money to other players.
This can be usefull if you have to pay your fee for the clan or divide
the cash from your quest among eachother.
Another feature of the bank is that you can buy and sell shares. By buying
shares you can invest your money in the mud economy. The shares constantly
change in value, so you can make a nice profit if you buy and sell your
shares at the right times. The current share price and be seen by going
to the bank.

0 QUEST QUESTS~
Certain characters in the game will allow you to go on quests to recover an
item or kill another mob. To go on a quest, you must be in the same room with
a quest master. When you successfully complete a quest, you will receive a
certain number of quest points. These points may be saved up and used to buy
incredible items from the quest master.
The QUEST command is used for information about your current quest, to request
a quest from a quest master, etc. Commands are as follows:
QUEST POINTS - Gives your current number of quest points. This command may be
used anywhere.
QUEST INFO - If you are on a quest, this will remind you who or what you are
after.
QUEST TIME - Gives the amount of time remaining on your current quest, or the
amount of time until you can request another quest. This command may be used
anywhere.
QUEST REQUEST - Petitions the quest master to send you on a quest. If you
accept the quest, you will be given a real time limit (in minutes) in which you
must complete the quest. If you are on a quest to kill a creature, when you
come across that creature you will see a {r[{R{fTARGET{x{r]{x notice before it.
This is the creature you are to kill.
QUEST COMPLETE - Once you have completed your quest and recovered the item or
killed the mob or whatever, you must return to the quest master who sent you on
the quest and use this command. If you have successfully completed your quest,
he will reward you with gold and quest points. Once you complete a quest you
cannot request another for 12 minutes.
QUEST LIST - Displays the list of fabulous items for sale by the quest master.
These items are not purchased via gold, they must be purchased with quest points.
QUEST BUY <item> - Purchases an item from the questmaster and deducts the cost
of the item from your quest points.
QUEST QUIT - Quits the current quest and sets your timer to 18.
QUEST SELL - Returns a quest item to the questor for 1/3 the price.
QUEST REPLACE - Replaces an old or defunct quest item for 75 questpoints.

~
-1 STARTCLAN~
Joining a clan or starting a new one can be both rewarding and hard work. Here
on Death Rising (DR) a few rules go with both starting and being in a clan.
Below are the rules for starting a new clan.
1) There must be two level 50 tier 2 people involved in creating and obtaining
the clan.
2) A new clan will cost you 100 IQP plus 500 IQP for a clan hall for a total of 600.
3) Clan rooms, mobs, and objects will be described by *YOU* but built by Loki.
***Role-play Rules***
1) Clan must be role-play oriented. (Clan name included)
2) You must have a history of your clan written, it can be posted as a note to
Loki or emailed to death_rising_implementor@hotmail.com. This history must
include how your clan became into exsistance, what it stands for, and what you
intend to accomplish with this clan. Also it must be well written.
3) You and your members are expected to RP in any public channels or rooms. This
excludes the (OOC) channel. Here on DR the RP definition is very loose, but direct
insults included inappropriate language will **NOT** be tolerated. Also talking about
things from RL is not RP, thats why the (OOC) channel is there.

The reason for this help is to keep the mud in constant balance as not
to cause major screw ups later on. So instead of spending countless
hours overgoing what should have been done correctly the first time.
You are to follow these guidelines.
-For mobs with the shield sanctuary you want to lower it's hitdice by
40%. (see: adjusted mob stats)
-For mobs that have any "spec fun" that is offensive lower it's
hitdice by 25%. This means if you give a mob spec_mage you need to
lower the damdice by 25%, if a mob has spec_thief you don't need to
make this adjustment.(see: adjusted mob stats)
-For mobs with the shield ice/fire/shockshield you need to lower it's
hitdice by 25%. Do not lower it's hitdice by 75% if you give it all
three shields, and only lower it's hitdice by 25% if it has all three,
not if it only has one. (see: adjusted mob stats)
-For a mob that has a weapon wielded lower it's damdice by 25%.(see:
adjusted mob stats)
Guidelines for eq/weapon mobs.
**********************************************************************
When making a mob and you decide to give it good equipment or a good
weapon you must make the mob harder to defeat. If you give a mob a
good weapon you need to lower it's damdice by 25%, but also you need
to make the mob harder to defeat. Well there are a few ways to do
this,
first by adding some resistances and some immunites, good ones to use
here are the more "popular" types of damage. Like pierce and slash,
acid, fire and ice. Try and use resistances more than immunities
because giving a mob more than 2 or 3 immunities makes them very hard.
You can also give the mob a bigger variety of offensive skills and or
"spec fun" as well as some shields and affects. What we are trying to
do here is make it difficult for players to get "good" eq and or a
weapon. So if you have a good level 50 weapon on a mob, it should be
an extremely hard fight for a lvl 50 player, they should have a chance
of death. If the eq or weapon a mob has is really not that good you
don't need to make the mob very difficult.
Guidelines for levelling mobs.
**********************************************************************
This is really easy to do, but you want to watch your self and not
make them to easy. Basically you want to make levelling mobs easier to
defeat than mobs with eq and weapons. To do this you can not give it
very many shields, few offensive skills, no "spec-fun" and few
res/imm, but give it more vulnerabilaties. The basic off skills a mob
has to have is dodge, parry, fast, trip, fade, and added affect haste.
This is only if you don't want to give it any other off skils or any
"spec fun."

202 ITEMSTATS~
ItemStats
=====================================================================
Making items is a very delicate process. That is why there is this
help. Use the chart below for the AC values for the items in your
area. Remember that jewelry does not have any AC values.
Points for armor
============================
Here you use points to determine how to distribute added affects to eq.
The formula is (eq level) * 2 = Points. For instance a level 80 piece of eq
gets 160 points. Of course the formula for jewlery is a different since
jewelry has no AC, so the formula would be (eq level) * 2.5 = Points.
Here is the point values:
============================
1 point = 1 mana
1 point = 1 hp
1 point = 5 move
5 points = 1 save, savingbreath, savingpara, savingrod, etc.
5 points = 1 ac
10 points = 1 hitroll
10 points = 1 damroll
15 points = 1 stat (1 str,dex,con,wis, or int)
Keep in mind that the sum of the points should NOT exceed the points
of the piece of eq. Also you may put in a negative added affect for
eq. Ie. adding a -2 con to a level 50 piece of eq would give it 65
points. Because each stat is 15 and you only get half of the value
for negative added affects. Except for AC DO NOT imply this for AC
since -AC is a good thing.
About poweritems, they are only to be used with permission of a 108+
and after reading the help thourghly. Also you must put 1 in the name
Ie. curved scimitar1. DO NOT forget this, it is important. You may
be requested to note your poweritems to an IMM 108+ and they may add
them for you.
~
-1 PLATINUM GOLD SILVER MONEEY~
Gaalstrom's economy is based on platinum, gold and silver coinage (and the
lowly copper, which you as an adventurer are far too proud to carry).
Platinum coins are worth 100 gold coins. Gold coins are worth 100 silver
coins. Gems can be bought to alleviate weight problems from the
Gaalstrom jeweller, he charges a mere 10% more than they are worth.
~
-1 Awards QP IMMquest~
Awards can be given for qp. In order to get an award you must 1) have the qp and 2)
that is level 109 or above to give it to you. Below is a list of awards and their price.
{WAward {w| {RPrice{x
{WSpell on item{w | {R150qp{x

~
0 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.
~
0 DAMAGE~
The following are the damage messages, and the max amount of hp damage
for each message:
0 miss 4 scratch
8 graze 12 hit
16 injure 20 wound
24 maul 28 decimate
32 devastate 36 maim
40 MUTILATE 44 DISEMBOWEL
48 DISMEMBER 52 MASSACRE
56 MANGLE 60 DEMOLISH
75 DEVASTATE 100 OBLITERATE
125 ANNIHILATE 150 ERADICATE
greater than 150 = UNSPEAKABLE
~
-1 DEAF~
The deaf toggle turns off incoming tells, helpfull if you are being bombarded
by messages from other players. You can still use reply (see 'help reply') to
reply to people who were telling you before you went deaf, although you
cannot reply to a deaf person unless you or they are a diety (it's mostly
useful for sending a quick "I'm being spammed so I went deaf" message to
a person).
~
-1 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).
~
-1 PROMPT~
Syntax: prompt
Syntax: prompt all
Syntax: prompt <%*>
PROMPT with out an argument will turn your prompt on or off.
PROMPT ALL will give you the standard "<hits mana moves>" prompt.
PROMPT <%*> where the %* are the various variables you may set yourself.
%h : Display your current hits
%H : Display your maximum hits
%m : Display your current mana
%M : Display your maximum mana
%v : Display your current moves
%V : Display your maximum moves
%x : Display your current experience
%X : Display experience to level
%p : Display your platinum held
%g : Display your gold held
%s : Display your silver held
%a : Display your alignment
%r : Display the room name you are in
%e : Display the exits from the room in NESWDU style
%c : Display a carriage return (useful for multi-line prompts)
%R : Display the vnum you are in (IMMORTAL ONLY)
%z : Display the area name you are in (IMMORTAL ONLY)
Example: PROMPT <%hhp %mm %vmv>
Will set your prompt to "<10hp 100m 100mv>"
~
-1 ALIGN ALIGNMENT~
Alignment is an expression of your attitudes on life and how you react
to situations. There's good, neutral, and evil alignment. Your alignment
is affected by the alignment of the foes you kill; kill an evil monster
and your alignment shifts towards good, kill a good one, and you head
towards the dark side of things.
Alignment is expressed in numbers from 1000 (pure good) to -1000 (pure evil),
with 0 being true neutral. Most creatures are neither wholly evil nor wholly
good and have alignment scores between 500 and -500. You can check your
alignment by typing SCORE. Spells such as DETECT GOOD, DETECT EVIL, and KNOW
ALIGNMENT will show you the alignment of others.
Alignment affects what equipment you may wear, weapons you may use, how
creatures react to you, experience gained, and, in some cases, what exits
you see. The Temple of Thoth houses recall for good and high-neutral aligned
characters. The Temple of Belan is home to those of evil and low-neutral
alignment. Equipment that is not suited to your alignment will be "zapped"
off of you when you try to wear it. If you are of good alignment, on occasion,
Thoth will protect you from harm in battle (usually from teleport spells),
but Belan, being evil, leaves his followers to fend for themselves.
Should you wish to change your alignment in some way other than fighting
oppositely-aligned foes, you will pay dearly. Go to the church in Gaalstrom
near Clan Road and either REPENT ALIGN or CURSE ALIGN at the appropriate
priest for the alignment you wish to become.

-1 MEMBER~
Syntax: member <char> Invites or removes a member from your clan.
member <accept|deny> Accept or Deny an invitation to join a clan.
The first syntax of this command may only be used by the clan leader.
You may not invite a player who is already in another clan.
If you have been invited to join a clan, you may use the ACCEPT option
to actually become a member of that clan. Use the DENY option if you
do not wish to join the clan in question.
~
0 DEATH~
When your character dies, you are reincarnated back at the Altar of the Temple
of Gaalstrom. Your corpse is left behind in the room where you were killed,
together with all of your equipment.
Any spells which were affecting you are canceled by death.
Following and groups are not affected by death.
You lose experience points for dying. The amount you lose is two-thirds of
the way back to the beginning of your level.
Corpses decay after time, and the objects inside corpses decay with them.
Player corpses last *roughly* 30 hours of game time (15 minutes of real time).
Only the player who died, or someone in the same group, can retrieve objects
from a player's corpse.
~
0 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; your alignment
versus the monster's alignment; how many of this monster have been killed
lately; and some random variation.
~
0 COLOUR COLOR ANSI~
Syntax: colour Toggles colour mode on/off
colour list Lists the available colours and channels
colour # Sets your default colour to #
colour <channel> # Sets the channel colour to #
Use the list option to view a list of all the channels you can set a color
for, along with the color numbers to use for channels and the default color.
Using a number as the only argument will set your default color to this
number. (Default color is the color most text is displayed in)
Using a channel name as the first argument and a number as the second argument
will set this channels color to the number. for example:
colour gossip 13
This will change the gossip channel color from the default bright blue to
bright magenta.
You may also talk in colour; the format is like this: the 'escape character'
to specify a colour is the left handed brace '{{', following that you should
use one of the following numbers,
{x{{0 reset, returns to default
{r{{1 red {m{{5 magenta
{g{{2 green {c{{6 cyan
{y{{3 yellow {w{{7 white
{b{{4 blue {D{{8 grey{x
For brighter colours, use the shifted numbers: {R!{G@{Y#{B${M%{C^{W&{x
When using colour, it looks better if you finish the line with whatever
colour it would normally be in, such as a gossip, the colour is magenta, so:
{mLope gossips '{ghello,{r world{m'{x
looks better than:
{mLope gossips '{ghello,{r world'{x
Colour is courtesy of Lope from Loping Through The MUD.

The following are the description flags for players and mobiles:
{x[{yV{DH{cC{bT{wP{CI{rF{BL{RE{YG{WS{GQ{x]
Where:
{yV{x = Invisible
{DH{x = Hiding
{cC{x = Charmed

Where:
{yV{x = Invisible
{RE{x = Evil
{BB{x = Blessed
{MM{x = Magical
{YG{x = Glowing
{WH{x = Humming
{GQ{x = Quest
You may switch to the old format for flags (as used on other
muds) at any time with the 'long' command.
~
0 LONG~
The LONG command will affect the way you see special flags on other
characters and equipment. With the long flag set, you will see the
flags much as you do on other muds, most of them as (Aura)'s.
Without the long flag (default), you will see any flags within
a much shorter table. See 'HELP FLAGS' for the shorter tables.
~
0 TICK~
Many of the game actions are based upon interval timers, including combat,
most autonomous monster actions, hp/mana/move regeneration, spell duration,
weather, and area resetting.
Of these timers, the hp/mana/move regeneration timer is popularly called the
'tick'. Ticks on this mud average 30 seconds of real time, but the actual
amount varies randomly from 15 seconds to 45 seconds.
Area resetting happens roughly every 3 minutes if no one is in the area; less
often (15 minutes) if some one is. Also note that objects lying on the ground
will not be regenerated if anyone is in the area when it resets.
~
0 !~
Syntax: !
! repeats the last command you typed.
~
0 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.
~
0 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.
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.
~
0 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).
~
0 DROP GET GIVE PUT TAKE~
Syntax: drop <object>
Syntax: drop <amount> coins
Syntax: get <object>
Syntax: get <object> <container>
Syntax: give <object> <character>
Syntax: give <amount> coins <character>
Syntax: put <object> <container>
DROP drops an object, or some coins, on the ground.
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.
~
0 EQUIPMENT INVENTORY~
Syntax: equipment
Syntax: inventory
EQUIPMENT lists your equipment (armor, weapons, and held items).
INVENTORY lists your inventory.
~
0 COMPARE~
Syntax: compare <object-1> <object-2>
Syntax: compare <object>
COMPARE compares two objects in your inventory. If both objects are weapons,
it will report the one with the better average damage. If both objects are
armor, it will report the one with the better armor class.
COMPARE with one argument compares an object in your inventory to the object
you are currently wearing or wielding of the same type.
COMPARE doesn't consider any special modifiers of the objects.
~
0 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.
~
0 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.
~
-1 DONATE CDONATE~
Syntax: donate <object>
cdonate <object>
The donate command will transfer an object from your inventory to the
donation pit. If you are a clan member, the cdonate command will donate
the object to your clans donation pit, otherwise, it will work the same
as a normal donate. Some objects may not be donated, such as quest items,
cursed items, and sub-issue gear.
~
0 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'.
~
0 ORDER~
Syntax: order <character> command
Syntax: order all command
ORDER orders one or all of your charmed followers (including pets) to
perform any command. The command may have arguments. You are responsible
for the actions of your followers, and others who attack your followers
will incur the same penalty as if they attacked you directly.
Most charmed creatures lose their aggresive nature (while charmed).
If your charmed creature engages in combat, that will break the charm.
~
0 REST SLEEP STAND WAKE~
Syntax: rest
Syntax: sleep
Syntax: stand
Syntax: wake
These commands change your position. When you REST or SLEEP, you
regenerate hit points, mana points, and movement points faster.
However, you are more vulnerable to attack, and if you SLEEP,
you won't hear many things happen.
Use STAND or WAKE to come back to a standing position. You can
also WAKE other sleeping characters.
~
0 GTELL ; REPLY SAY TELL~
Syntax: gtell <message>
Syntax: say <message>
Syntax: tell <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.
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.
~
-1 NOTE NOTES CHANGES NEWS PENALTY IDEA WEDDINGS UNREAD~
The notes on ROT replace the bulletin boards and mail systems found on many
other mud. 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 : sets you in an editor to write your note
note + : adds a line to a new note (i.e. note + hi guys!)
note - : remove a line from a note in progress
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 to scroll through them one at a time.
Five other note directories exist, these are ideas, news, changes, weddings,
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' command can be used to show your unread notes on all the note
spools.
~
101 SIGN~
The SIGN command will create a floating sign with your own text.
The main use for this is for creating hint signs during a quest.
sign make : starts a new sign.
sign + <text> : adds a line to a sign in progress.
sign - : remove a line from a sign in progress.
sign clear : aborts the current sign.
sign show : shows the sign you are working on.
sign save : creates the new sign in the current room. (this
MUST be done last)
~
0 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.

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).

The game supplies a title when your character is created and when you
advance a level. You can use TITLE to set your title to something else.
~
0 WIMPY~

Syntax: wimpy <number>
WIMPY sets your wimpy value. When your character takes damage that reduces
your hit points below your wimpy value, you will automatically attempt to flee.
You will only flee if your character is not in a wait state -- i.e. has not
been using combat commands like cast, trip and bash, and has not been

0 BUY LIST SELL VALUE~
Syntax: buy <object>
Syntax: list
Syntax: sell <object>
Syntax: value <object>
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.
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.
~

The nature of the reward depends upon the type of object.
~
0 SCROLL~
Syntax: scroll
Syntax: scroll <number>
This command changes the number of lines the mud sends you in a page (the
default is 24 lines). Change this to a higher number for larger screen
sizes, or to 0 to disabling paging.
~
0 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.
~
0 CONSIDER~
Syntax: consider <character>
CONSIDER tells you what your chances are of killing a character.
Of course, it's only a rough estimate.
~
0 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 five levels of
your own.
~
0 VISIBLE~
VISIBLE cancels your hiding and sneaking, as well as any invisibility,
making you visible again.
~
0 QUIT RENT SAVE~
Syntax: QUIT
Syntax: RENT ... not!
Syntax: SAVE
SAVE saves your character and object. The game saves your character every
15 minutes regardless, and is the preferred method of saving. Typing save
will block all other command for about 20 seconds, so use it sparingly.
(90+ players all typing save every 30 seconds just generated too much lag)
Some objects, such as keys and potions, may not be saved.
QUIT leaves the game. You may QUIT anywhere. When you re-enter the game
you will be back in the same room.
QUIT automatically does a SAVE, so you can safely leave the game with just one
command. Nevertheless it's a good idea to SAVE before QUIT. If you get into
the habit of using QUIT without SAVE, and then you play some other mud that
doesn't save before quitting, you're going to regret it.
There is no RENT in this mud. Just SAVE and QUIT whenever you want to leave.
~
0 RECALL /~
Syntax: RECALL
RECALL prays to your god for miraculous transportation from where you are
back to the Temple of Gaalstrom. '/' 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.
~
-1 SPLIT~
Syntax: SPLIT <silver> <gold> <platinum>
SPLIT splits some coins between you and all the members of your
group who are in the same room as you. It's customary to SPLIT
the loot after a kill. The first argument is the amount of silver
the split (0 is acceptable), the second gold (optional), and the
third platinum (optional).
Examples:
split 30 --> split 30 silver
split 20 50 --> split 20 silver, 50 gold
split 0 10 --> split 10 gold
split 5 0 10 --> split 5 silver, 10 platinum
~
0 STEAL~
Syntax: STEAL coins <character>
Syntax: STEAL <object> <character>
STEAL attempts to steal coins, or an object, from a character.
There are penalties for using STEAL on other players.
In order to STEAL successfully, you must practice the appropriate skill.
~
0 PRACTICE~
Syntax: PRACTICE
Syntax: PRACTICE <skill|spell>
PRACTICE without an argument tells you your current ability level in all
the skills and spells available to you. You can check this anywhere.
PRACTICE with an argument practice that skill or spell. Your learning
percentage varies from 0% (unlearned) to a some maximum between 80% and 100%,
depending on your class. You must be at a guild master to practice.
The higher your intelligence, the more you will learn at each practice
session. The higher your wisdom, the more practice sessions you will
have each time you gain a level. Unused sessions are saved until you
do use them.
~
0 TRAIN~
Syntax: train <str int wis dex con hp mana>
TRAIN increases one of your attributes. When you start the game, your
character has standard attributes based on your class, and several
initial training sessions. You can increase your attributes by
using these sessions at a trainer (there are several in town).
It takes one training session to improve an attribute, or to increase
mana or hp by 10. You receive one session per level.
The best attributes to train first are WIS and CON. WIS gives you more
practice when you gain a level. CON gives you more hit points.
In the long run, your character will be most powerful if you train
WIS and CON both to 18 before practising or training anything else.
~
110 ADVANCE~
Syntax: advance <character> <level>
ADVANCE sets a character's level to the specified value. It is the
only way to create new immortal characters within the game. ADVANCE
may also be used to demote characters.
~
110 TRUST~
Syntax: trust <character> <level>
TRUST sets a character's trust to the specified level. This is similar to
advancing the character for accessing immortal commands, but has no effect
on combat strength, et cetera. You can give more trust to mortal (or
immortal) characters to give them access to more power without messing up
the character. You can also restrict a player's trust to less than their
natural level.
A trust of 0 means to use the character's natural level again.
~
110 WEDPOST~
Syntax: wedpost <character>
WEDPOST sets or removes the wedpost flag on a mortal player. This flag
allows a mortal to post to the wedding announcement message list.
~
109 REBOOT SHUTDOWN~
Syntax: reboot
shutdown

to control the server, a delay of fifteen seconds will ensue (to allow
old connections to die), followed by a reboot.
Shutdown shuts down the server and prevents the normal 'startup' script
from restarting it.
~
108 WIZLOCK NEWLOCK~
Syntax: wizlock
newlock
Wizlock and newlock both block login attempts to ROT. Wizlock locks
out all non-gods (i.e. level less than 101), except for link-dead players who
are returning. Newlock only locks out new character generation, typically
used for preventing a spammer from returning. Wizlocking should be avoided,
and newlocking should be accompanied by mail or a note to the imps.
A god must be at least Supreme level to wizlock the game.
~
109 DENY WIPE~
Syntax: deny <name>
wipe <name>
DENY and WIPE lock a character out of a game permanently, rendering their
character name unusable. They may only be removed by editing the pfile, for
this reason freeze is usually preferred.
If a player is DENY'd, they will be sent a message telling them so, then
will be forced to quit. They will then recieve a message telling them
they are denyed access any time they try to connect.
If a player is WIPE'd, they will recieve no message, and will be immediatly
disconnected. They will immediatly be disconnected any time they attempt
to connect, with no explanation.
~
107 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.
~
106 FREEZE~
Syntax: freeze <name>
FREEZE <character> is a toggle which prevents a character from issuing any
commands at all. It can be removed from within the game, so freezing a
troublemaker is usually a better option than they deny command.
~
109 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.
~
0 QUEST~
Syntax: quest Turns your quest flag on.
quest <on|off> Imms only, turns global quest flag on/off.
The quest flag identifies players participating in a quest. It also
protects the player during a quest, by making them non-pkill.
The quest flag can only be set when the global quest flag is on, and
can not be turned off until you either quit and relog, or the quest has
been completed. Upon the completion of the quest, the flag will be
turned off automatically when the global quest flag is removed.
When the global quest flag is on, a message will be displayed at the
bottom of the 'who' list.
~
102 MQUEST MPOINT~
Syntax: mquest <object>
mpoint <object>
MQUEST sets or removes the quest flag on any object. A mortal character
may only carry ONE item with the quest flag set.
MPOINT sets or removes the questpoint flag on any object. Any character
who then uses this object will recieve a quest point. The questpoint
flag is automatically removed from an object by the system once the
quest point has been given.
~
103 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'.
~
102 SOCKETS~
Syntax: sockets
sockets <name>
SOCKETS reports all of the visible users connected to the server, including
users in the process of logging in. The two numbers inside brackets are the
channel number and the 'connected' state. The 'connected' states are listed in
merc.h: 0 is CON_PLAYING; non-zero values are various states of logging in.
The optional name argument shows the site of a player, or optional can be used
to identify switched gods (i.e. socket orc shows the name of anyone switched
into an orc).
~
104 LOAD~
Syntax: load mob <vnum>
load obj <vnum> <level>
The load command is used to load new objects or mobiles (use clone to
duplicate strung items and mobs). The vnums can be found with the vnum
command, or by stat'ing an existing mob or object.
Load puts objects in inventory if they can be carried, otherwise they are
put in the room. Mobiles are always put into the same room as the god. Old
format objects must be given a level argument to determine their power, new
format objects have a preset level that cannot be changed without set.
(see also clone, vnum, stat)
~
104 STRING~
Syntax: string obj <field> <string>
string mob <field> <string>
The string command changes the various strings associated with an object or
mobile. A full list of fields can be viewed by typing string obj or string
mob. Sorry, multi-line strings are not yet supported.
~
105 NOCHANNEL NOCLAN NOEMOTE NORESTORE NOSHOUT NOTELL NOTITLE~
Syntax: nochannel <character>
noclan <character>
noemote <character>
norestore <character>
noshout <character>
notell <character>
notitle <character>
NOEMOTE, NOSHOUT, and NOTELL are used to muffle other characters, by
preventing them from emoting, shouting, and telling, respectively.
Characters who are noshout'ed or no'telled will also not receive those
forms of communication.
The NOCHANNEL command is similar, but more drastic. It prevents the victim
from using any of the channels (gossip, cgossip, Q/A, music) on the game.
Nochannels usually result from swearing or spamming on public channels.
The NORESTORE command makes a player immune to the restore command.
This is used to punish players who constantly ask for restores from
immortals.
The NOCLAN command makes a player unable to join pkill-type clans.
This is used to punish players who are known to cause serious troubles
with pkilling.
The NOTITLE command makes a player unable to set their own title.
This is used to punish players who use the title for swearing,
threats, etc....
~
103 TWIT PARDON~
Syntax: twit <character>
pardon <character>
TWIT sets the Twit flag on a player. When set, the twit flag causes
any mobiles in a LAW room (all of Gaalstrom) to attack the player,
and the shopkeepers will not sell to the player. Also, any player may
attack and kill a player with the twit flag, whether they can normally
pkill or not.
PARDON will remove the Twit flag if set.
~
102 PURGE~
Syntax: purge
purge <character>
Purge is used to clean up the world. Purge with no arguments removes all the
NPC's and objects in the current room. Purge with an argument purges one
character from anywhere in the world.
Purge will not get rid of PC's, or objects or mobiles with a NOPURGE flag
set (i.e. the pit, the fountain, shopkeepers, Hassan). Mobiles may be
purged if they are called directly by name.
~
106 RESTORE~
Syntax: restore <character>
restore room
restore all
Restore restores full hit points, mana points, and movement points to the
target character. It also heals poison, plague, and blindness.
Restore room (or restore with no argument) performs a restore on every player
in the room, restore all does the same for all connected players. Restore all
is only usable by creators and implementors. Restore should be used sparingly
or not at all.
~
107 SLAY~
Syntax: slay <character>
Slay kills a character in cold blood, no saving throw. Best not to use this
command on players if you enjoy being a god.
~
104 TRANSFER TELEPORT~
Syntax: transfer <character>
transfer all
transfer <character> <location>
transfer all <location>
Transfer transfers the target character, or ALL player characters,
to your current location (default) or to a specified location. Trans all
should almost never be used, as 100 players popping into one room can have
horrible effects on slow links. Teleport is a synonym for transfer.
~
102 RECOVER~
Syntax: recover <character>
Recover transfers the target character to their default recall point.
You may only recover a character who is either cursed, or is stuck in
a no-recall area.
~

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).
~
102 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.
~
102 GOTO~
Syntax: goto
goto <location>
Goto takes you to a location. The location may be specified as a vnum,
as the name of a mobile, or as the name of an object.
Goto with no argument will take you to your default location if you
have one set. (see GSET) If used in this manner, your pet will be
transfered with you.
You may not Goto a room if it is PRIVATE and has two (or more) characters
already present, or if it is SOLITARY and has one (or more) characters
already present. Some other rooms are barred to players below a certain
god level.
Implementors can use the violate command to get into private rooms.
~
102 GSET~
Syntax: gset <vnum>
Gset allows you to set the default location for the goto command to
take you to.
~
102 HOLYLIGHT INVIS WIZINVIS~
Syntax: holylight
wiznvis <level>
Holylight is a toggle that allows you to see (almost) every character and
mobile in the game. With holy light, you can see what's in the game more
easily. Without holy light, you can see what mortal players see.
Wizinvis takes a level argument, and will mke you invisible to all players of
a lower level than your invisibility level. It defaults to the maximum
(your level) if no argument is given. Wizi 110 characters are totally
invisible.
~
102 INCOGNITO GHOST~
Toggling your incognito status will hide your presence from people outside the
room you are in, but leave you visible to those who are with you.
Toggling your ghost status will do the exact opposite, making you invisible
to anyone in the same room as you, but visible to those outside the room.
While ghost is set, you will still appear visible to all characters in the
game through the 'who' command. (depending on your wizinv level)
Both take a level argument similar to wizinvis, people at that level
or higher can see you regarless of location.
These flags are mutually exclusive, turning on one will automatically turn
the other off.
~
102 MEMORY~
Syntax: memory
Memory reports the size of your mud.
The 'Mobs' and 'Objs' lines report the number of types of mobiles and objects,
not the number of instances currently in the game.
The 'Strings' line shows memory used by area-file strings. These strings have
a maximum limit, which is also shown.
The 'Perms' line shows permanently allocated memory blocks. There is no limit
on the number and size of these blocks.
~
102 VNUM~
Syntax: vnum <name>
vnum <obj or mob> <name>
vnum skill <name>
vnum area
Vnum finds all objects and mobiles with a particular name, and prints out
the results. Use vnum obj or vnum mob to limit the search. This vnum is
very useful for loading. Vnum skill returns the skill number (for set) and
the slot number (for making new zones) of a skill name. Vnum area lists
all areas and their range of vnums.
(see also load)
~
102 STAT~
Syntax: stat <name>
stat mob <name>
stat obj <name>
stat room <number>
The stat command gives you detailed information on an object, mobile, or room
within the game. Without a class argument, the command will return a object
(if found), a mobile (if no object exists, but a mobile does), or a room
(if a number is given). Stat room with no argument stats the room you are
standing in. Stat can be used to find room vnums for goto.
(see also goto, transfer)
~
102 MWHERE~
Syntax: mwhere <name>
Mwhere shows you the locations of all mobiles with a particular name.
~
104 PEACE~
Syntax: peace
Peace causes all characters in a room to stop fighting. It also strips the
AGGRESSIVE bit from mobiles.
~
102 POOFIN POOFOUT~
Syntax: poofin <message>
Syntax: pooffout <message>
The standard messages for goto are 'arrives in a swirling mist' and
'leaves in a swirling mist'. You can replace these messages with messages of
your own choosing using the poofin and poofout commands. These messages
must include your name somewhere in the string.
Poofin and poofout only show to characters who can see you.
(see also goto)
~
109 PROTECT~
Syntax: protect <character>
Protect is used to protect a character from unwanted snooping. Removing
protected status from a character WILL be seen by that character.
~
105 LOG SNOOP~
Syntax: log <character>
log all
snoop <character>
Log <character> causes all of a character's commands to be logged into
the server's log file. Like Freeze, it is a permanent character toggle.
Logs may only be used by creators and implementors, and should be accompanied
by mail to the implementors.
Certain commands (Password) are protected against log. Conversely, certain
commands (especially immortal commands) are always logged.
Log all logs all character commands. It is a server-wide toggle; it does not
persist across reboots. Please do not use this unless you tell the imps.
Snoop shows you a copy of all the input and output going to a character.
The character must have an open channel. You may snoop more than one
character at a time. Try to respect privacy.
Snoop yourself to cancel all outstanding snoops.
~
103 SWITCH RETURN~
Syntax: switch <character>
return
Switch switches you into the body of another character (who must not
already have a descriptor, e.g. you can't switch into a PC). You also cannot

wiznet <field>
Wiznet is sort of an immortal news service, to show important events to
the wiznetted immortal. Wiznet by itself turns wiznet on and off,
wiznet show lists all settable flags (they are not detailed here),
wiznet status shows your current wiznet settings, and wiznet <field> toggles
a field on and off. The events should be self-explanatory, if they are not,
fiddle with them a while. More events are available at higher levels.

(such as mobile sanctuary) are much harder to remove. Not all spells may
be dispelled, notable examples are poison and plague.
