22884, Some help file tweaks (minor)
Posted by Help reader on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
- While reading some shaman help files I noticed a bunch of minor missing things:


'DEMONIC ASPECTS' 'CHALLEGHA ASPECT' 'MORS-GRAVIS ASPECT' 'HARMENTIA ASPECT' 'MOROSA ASPECT' (3350)

Syntax: commune 'challegha aspect'
commune 'mors-gravis aspect'
commune 'harmentia aspect'
commune 'morosa aspect'

A shaman who follows the path of the demonspawn may channel the aspect of one
type of demon for a time. All aspects grant the shaman demon-infused blood, as
well as traits often associated with the type of demon.

Challegha Aspect: This aspect will alter the shaman physically - an elongated
demonic tongue, a thickened hide, and a newfound vulnerability to light are some
of the effects.

Mors-gravis Aspect: This aspect will alter the shaman physically and mentally -
a resistance to damage all damage, and especially fire and mental damage, as
well as a deep hatred for the Paladin guild, causing them to attack any paladin
on sight.

Harmentia Aspect: This aspect will alter the shaman physically, granting them near
immunity to poison and some toxic spittle of their own, as well as enhanced
fighting capabilities.

Morosa Aspect: This aspect will alter the shaman physically and mentally,
increasing their ability to absorb pain and enjoyment of feasting on the flesh
of their fallen enemies (carrionfeed), as well as granting them the ability to
levitate via demonic power.

NOXIOUS CLOUD (1145)

syntax: cast 'noxious cloud'
commune 'noxious cloud'

This spell allows the caster to invoke a cloud of noxious gases from the
Para-Elemental Plane of Smoke. The gases are toxic if inhaled and can only
be protected against with an Airshield. Because of large volume of gases
invoked, the cloud will spread beyond the point of casting but will dilute
its toxicity throughout the area covered. To learn this spell an Invoker must
first master Buffet (Elemental Air) and Wall of Fire (Elemental Fire).

CANCELLATION 'DISPEL MAGIC' DISPEL (344)

Syntax: cast 'dispel magic' <target>
cast 'cancellation' <target>
comm 'dispel' <target>
comm cancellation <target>

All of these remove magical effects from the target. Dispel magic has a
reduced chance of working and is considered an attack spell. Cancellation
can only be used on willing allies, but is much more effective and does
not provoke attack. Dispel is a supplication that can remove other
supplications. Unfortunately, these three do not discriminate between
harmful and benign spells/supplications.

The chance of dispelling is based on the level of the spell/supplication.
Not all spells/supplications may be dispelled, notable examples are poison
and plague.

DEMONIC SUMMONS (3351)

Shamans with ties to the demonic planes often draw the attention of demonkind.
When such a shaman summons someone, there is a chance that one of these demons
will seize an opportunity and assault the summoned party.

This is an automatic skill. (?)

---

SOUL CITADEL (2534)

Syntax: commune 'soul citadel'

By calling upon their deity to form a spiritual citadel around their sense of
spiritual and physical awareness, a healerpriest may commune powerful supplication
to render the priest resistant to all attempts to make him or her slip from
consciousness.

---

'BULWARK OF FAITH' (2416)

Syntax: commune 'bulwark of faith'

So great is the faith of a dedicated healerpriest, that she is
able to fortify her protective shield to endure adversities
that would render the less faithful incapable of recovery.
As blow upon blow of stunning assaults strike the healerpriest's
shield, her faith makes manifest a wall of retributive energy
that protects her and burns her assailant. The stronger and
more frequently stunning attacks are used against her, the more
furious the protection, until it grows into an impenetrable
bulwark of faith.

This supplication must be placed over an existing Protective Shield.

ABYSSAL FLAME (3352)

Shamans who follow the path of the Demonspawn may occasionally inflict further
suffering on their victims.

This is an automatic skill. (?)

See also: DEMONFIRE

---

MIRACULOUS FORESIGHT (2414)

Syntax: commune 'miraculous foresight'

A healerpriest in dire need may pray for the ability to foresee grievous harm. This
supplication is extremely taxing, but while under its protection a healer will
have great fortune in avoiding sudden death.

---

AFFLICT (2715)

Syntax: commune 'afflict' <victim>

Using this supplication, a shaman may inflict wounds upon a chosen enemy.
The degree of the wound will increase with the shaman's level, and powerful
shamans may inflict lasting injuries such as blurry vision, bleeding, or
lingering pain.
