#48428, "apply syntax"


          

APPLY (1564)

Syntax: apply <poison type> <target> <method>

After the thief has concocted a poison, he may apply it in many different
ways. The thief must be trained in the method (food, drink, weapon, contact,
or inhaled) of poisoning and in the type of poison he is attempting or he will
surely fail.

POISON TYPES: emetic, knock-out, neurological, fear, mind-control
POISON METHODS: food, drink, weapon, contact, inhaled

Any chance we could get the last parameter dropped and have the code just infer it from the target? Any target must be either a PC/NPC, a food, a drink container, or an object in the applyer's inventory that isn't a food or drink container.
