Task Description
This idea came up in IRC.
When someone breaks a law, players can report it to GMs or another NPC guard. Then GMs or the guard activate an option that turns on the autoaccept duels for an hour, with a different color label. During that hour, players that find the outlaw can kill it (or people with X faction in guards), so that would involve some players acting like guards in town (and some outlaws would have to leave the city for some time to avoid being killed).

Task Description
It would be nice if it was possible to zoom sketches when looking at them. This would also be useful when you get a sketch/map which is too big for your screen and allows you to have the entire image on screen by reducing zoom.
The included patch allows the user to zoom from 1/10 to 10x the map increasing the size of every element on screen. The buttons used for this are > and < if someone has a better suggestion about them or thinks that having the increase/decrease zoom on screen would be useful i could add them.

Feature Request | 2205 | No | Misc | Medium | New | Qia Fask | | More user control over the loudness (range) of speech (... | 01.01.2022 | | 4 |
Task Description
As a heavy role-player, one of the most common annoyances encountered is that there is often no appropriate way to communicate to various groups of people.
Example one:
A group of five sitting around a table for an important meeting, talking in hushed voices. Currently the only option is to create a group for this, which is unrealistic, as people very close by should be able to listen in.
Example two:
Someone is standing in front of a crowd of people in the street, announcing something to them. Currently, the distance of /say is so tiny, that the only way to communicate to this group and have the people at the back hear you is to use /shout and have half the countryside hearing you.
Example three:
Sitting in the Tavern talking over a drink, not worried about your voice carrying. Currently, the distance of /say is so minimal, that half the Tavern will not end up hearing you. Using /shout would be considered very rude. No way to deal with this.
Solution:
/quiet - Speaking in a hushed voice to those nearby. Range limited to about 8 to 10 feet.
/say - Speaking in a clear, loud voice. Limited to a range of around 50 feet, which is quite a bit further than it carries to now.
/shout - Long range yelling. The current range of shouting would be fine.

Feature Request | 2631 | No | Movement | Medium | New | Elvors Amenoras | | Running up slopes should be more taxing | 26.03.2009 | | |
Task Description
I consider it unrealistic how terrain is (not) interacting with movement.
As far as I know, in real life, every meter up is as taxing as ten meters across. (The factor of 10 is from a schoolbok, it might be a good idea to verify this from a professional source.) Going downwards requires concentration to avoid slipping and falling, and a surprisingly large amount of strength to absorb the shock from “falling” the height would lose with every step. (Walk down 250 metres of a moderately steep slope with a backpack on your shoulders and you’ll know what I mean.)
In terms of game mechanics, this would mean: * When running upwards, the speed should decrease and stamina loss should increase, and the cumulative effect of these two changes should be drastic. It’s possible to trade one change for the other: keeping the speed unchanged and massively increasing stamina loss would force players to rest, keeping the stamina loss constant would call for a massive speed reduction. However, I think it should be a little of both since that causes interesting effects (see below under “game experience”). * When walking downwards, there should be no stamina loss (you can make the physics work for you), and you should be faster, but you lose mental stamina. The less your mental stamina is, the higher the probability of slipping and falling. If you fall on a too-steep slope, you continue skidding. Falling should do damage that’s proportional to the total weight (character + load), blunt damage (not much help from armor); skidding should do damage-over-time, armor protecting fully (essentially this is abrasive damage, which is similar to slash - but don’t give characters armor training from that).
In terms of game experience, this would mean: * Getting up on a slope is a time-consuming experience, and almost never worth avoiding the walk around the hill. People will stay on the paths in the valleys. This will cause more interaction between normal travellers (and make Cutthroat Lane work better for the Cutthroads, too). It will also make people who leave the road more likely to remain undetected. * The Settings team can make NPCs less accessible and less likely to be found by placing them on a hilltop, or in a valley behind mountain pass. * Players with maxed stats have less issues with upward slopes than newbies, but they will still avoid slopes unless they have reason to. * Hilltops will become a tactical advantage. An attacker will need far more time to reach a defender on the top, and expose himself to ranged combat for a longer time. (Take this into consideration when reducing the effectiveness of long-range combat spells; ideally, a mage would win against a fighter from a hilltop, and lose against a fighter on even ground.) * Hilltops also become a bit of a trap. Defenders forced to flee from a hilltop risk falling and getting overwhelmed. * Pursuing down a hilltop is problematic due to risk of falling. Defenders might want to hide a pursuit team in a nearby valley that’s near the height of the route of the attackers, though that would force them to split up forces. Decisions, decisions… which means tactical variation, which is a Good Thing when it comes to making the combat aspects of the game interesting :) * Reaching the Eagle Bronze Doors takes a lot of time already, making them even less reachable will no doubt make many players very unhappy. An alchemist that sells stamina regeneration potions at the bottom of the path up would help with that.
Just my 5 cents :) (and no, I don’t expect this to be implemented anytime soon :D )

Task Description
Until today I did not know that “Camp Banished” is a PvP area at all. Until I got killed.
I was asked by a GM “if I did not expect that”?! - No, I did not! I see everything as a roleplaying incentive, unless I get a system message warning me about changed world attributes.
This issue is “critical”, because inside this PvP area are quest relevant NPCs. Now, what would happen if you are in a quest dialog with an NPC, and get killed? - You would lose that quest. And if it was a one-time quest, you’ll lose it forever, for your char.
This almost happened to Cadwen today, whom I helped to deliver a “Keg of beer for Filch”. Fortunately the keg was not stolen while we returned from the Death Realm.

Feature Request | 2658 | No | Inventory/Items | Medium | New | | | giveitem command for players | 26.03.2009 | | |
Task Description
Syntax: /giveitem [PlayerName] [Qty|All] <ItemName> [Any]
Playername is optional, otherwise default to selected target, fail if none selected
Quantity is optional, default to 1, All gives all in inventory/equipped
ItemName required, quotes needed for multi-word item names as in “Platinum Ore”
Any is optional, allows items in containers to be given. Omitting this protects containered items from being given accidentally, allowing players to put things in sacks or other containers that they want to keep safe, same as the Drop command.
Similar to GM giveitem, but with the following restrictions:
player and target must be in touch range
player and target may be sitting or standing
player and target must not be otherwise busy (fighting/crafting/repairing/etc.)
no restriction for target being overburdened (available slot/stack/capacity limits still apply, see Caveats below)
similar to PVP, players should have persistent selectable option for receiving given item(s): Always Accept / Prompt to Accept (default) / Never Accept
Along with the command, make Give an option to context menu, which opens a slot window same or similar to that which one gets when giving to an NPC.
Justification:
Caveats:
Makes using mules a little easier, as in an unattended mule with Always Accept can become a dump bucket for loot or Ore, however current trade rules allow this already, the only difference is that the mule must be attended to complete the trade, while not for receiving a Give. Eventual random spawns of monsters will mitigate this for loot, and miners still have to move all the collected ore to wherever it is to be processed or sold. IMHO the benefits to RP outweigh this issue, since miners have already worked around unattended trading to some degree, either by mAlting or dropping stacks while guarding in proximity.
Extending the idea, add a die-roll chance for target and near proximity observers to be made aware of the exchange. Giver’s Int. and Agility should apply, and Target’s Int. and Observer’s Int. should apply but I’ll leave it to devs to work out how to implement. Any exchange that is more than 1 single item should incrementally raise the chance of being observed. One might still have a good chance of slipping a couple daggers into someone’s pack, but a stack of 20 Ore would be nearly impossible not to notice. Sleeping target might also factor in.
A further extension might be an optional Sneak parameter whereby the Giver attempts to be especially discrete in the exchange, thus lowering the chance to be observed by the target or near proximity observers, but this should be mitigated by quantity as above.

Feature Request | 2777 | No | Quests Dynamics | Low | New | weltall | Rizin | Shared Quests | 12.07.2009 | | |
Task Description
There should be a way for players in groups to share quests they are doing. So they could talk with others about them and do them together. All will get the quest complete when they complete the task given by the npc (and maybe a copy of the reward for each one): this could make quest allow players to socialize more. The biggest problems in implementation could be the case in which quests might overlap, the fact players might want to chose the quest they want to share and the variations which could be in dialogs when talking with a group of people versus a single one. The players will get the shared quests added automatically even if they didn’t have them provided they have the correct prerequisites

Player side: /petition should open the petition window with a short introducing text (in another text window?) how to use the petitions (not to post wishlist items there, how to use (possible) categories..) 3. There should be a drop-down menu for selecting a category [Not Specified; Movement; Bugreport; Name; Event; Harassment; Quest; Miscellaneous] to classify the report. This could be used for statistical purposes post-process as well. 4. A button to mark the petition as URGENT which will add a parseable <star><star> URGENT<star><star> (<star> = *)to the header of the petition so our post-processing tools (aka gmbot) can forward/poke outside the game. (This is important!) 5. Before the petition is finished there should be a preview to check everything again, to make last changes. 6.

Feature Request | 2956 | No | Combat | Medium | New | Orgonwukh | Davide Vescovini | Combat system calibration | 19.04.2010 | | |
Task Description
Combat system calibration
Short version:
I propose that in general the amount of damage dealt by any weapon or magic spell should decrease with the distance from the attacker to the target. Also, fast weapons should generally deal less damage than slow weapons. The combat system including both weapons and magic has to be more balanced.
Elaborated version:
Damage (D):
This is the amount of health points subtracted when an single attack is successful. Examples for magic are:
For weapons one has to include the levels and stats of attacker and target. As a reference I determine both attacker and target to have maxed stats and levels, full heavy armour equipped and to use two weapons at a time in bloody stance. The weapon damage is the average damage including the failed attacks. One could either ask a dev to look this up in the database or do a numberof attacks and measure the arithmetic mean. For convenience I determine the damage of short swords to be 500 HP. This value is not the value specified in the weapons properties, but the “real” damage dealt.
Maximum attack distance (MAD):
This is the maximum distance from which an attack can be made. MAD can be measured in game units (the values you get if you type /pos). One unit should be about 0.5 metres. Examples for magic and weapons are:
Attack speed (AS):
This is the time in seconds (s) between the starting of the attack and the moment when the damage is dealt. Examples:
Damage per second (DPS):
This is simply D divided by AS.
Effective Damage (ED):
I propose to let the DPS decrease linearly with the MAD. I introduce a factor (F) with which you can put more or less emphasis on the distance weighting. Based on the above assumed value of damage for short swords, I propose that the ED with a value of 500 should be used to weight all weapons and magic attack spells:
ED=F*(D/AS)*MAD=500 or ED=F*DPS*MAD=500
For F=1 this simply is
ED=(D/AS)*MAD=500 or ED=DPS*MAD=500.
Let us fix F=1 here for now for convenience. If my proposal for weighting is too daring or too conservative, we still can talk about setting a different value for F.
What does this mean?
Let us look at the weapons first and assume that the values for short sword are as I wrote above: AS=2, MAD=2 and D=500. Then DPS=250. This short sword deals an average damage of 250 HP per second. Since MAD=2, ED=500 HP. I have nothing to object concerning these values. This is my reference for the calibration of other weapons or magic spells from now on (see below).
Let us look at the spells: With a short sword you deal an average damage of 250 HP per seconds from a max. distance of 2 units. With Summon Missile you deal a damage of 100 HP per second from a max. distance of 57 units. With Flying Rocks you deal a damage of 225 HP per second from a max. distance of 74 units. Is that fair? Does it make sense that more damage can be dealt from a safe distance? This “unfairness” is reflected in the ED values of the spells:
We notice that the value of ED is way higher for spells than for the short sword. Flying Stones also have a very high MAD and hence a high ED value. If we assume that my proposal is appropriate for evaluation of the power of weapons and magic, this means that Summon missile is 7.4 times more powerful than using short swords and Flying Stones is 33.3 times more powerful than short swords. I think that is quite a realistic reflection of the current state
Calibration
I propose to calibrate weapons and spells by setting the values of D, AS and MAD in a way that the ED is about the same for all of them. In case we use the short sword for a reference, we could adjust the values for Summon Missile and Flying Stones by reducing the MAD, for example To do this we solve the equation for ED in regards to MAD:
MAD=500*AS/D
Then the values for the calibrated spells would be:
If you think this attack range is too low, there is the possibility to calibrate the spells by setting the damage after solving the equation for ED in regards to D:
D=AS*500/MAD
Then the values would be:
It is also possible to calibrate the AS with AS=D*MAD/500. You can also try out different trade offs between D, AS and MAD as long as ED=500. As long as the ED is the same for all weapons and spells, the relation between damage dealt per second and the attack range is maintained.
Calibration will also be helpful once the attack range for weapons is implemented. Let us examine the calibration of the broad sword and let us assume that this sword has a damage value of D=750:
So the attack range is the same while the attack speed and damage differ. One might think that it is more important to increase the attack range instead of the damage because of the bigger size of the broad sword. So let us assume that the damage value for the broad sword is D=600:
This seems to me an appropriate representation of the differences between the weapons: A broad sword has a longer range and deals more damage, but is slower than a short sword.
Final notes
This is a proposal for balancing the combat system. All values of weapons and magic are either estimations or assumptions. Feel free to provide the true values, if possible. Since the ezpcusa server exists, this might be a good opportunity to try such a system out. My assumptions about the levels, stats, armour and weapon properties of attacker and target are subjective and should be discussed.
Limitations:
Maxed levels were assumed, the properties of lower lever levels are unknown to me. But when known, those levels can be calibrated as well. I did not include the amount of mana needed for the spells yet. A simple rule could be to have a linear relationship between damage dealt and mana used (maybe 1 to 10, so you can still kill a 800 HP opponent with 222 mana, which is the maximum at the moment as far as i know). While the attack area of spells is a circle with a radius of AD (you just have to be closer than AD, facing direction is disregarded) while the target is in the centre of the circle, the area for weapons is much smaller because the attacker has to face the target. It should be something similar to a triangle. This disadvantage of weapons is not accounted for here. On the other hand, it is assumed that a spell caster casts spells as fast as possible. This disadvantage is not accounted for here, either. If those differences between weapons and spells is considered too big, you can think about setting F to another value than 1 for an appropriate weighting. Once spells and weapons are calibrated, prices should as well be calibrated. You could either raise the weapon training costs or lower the magic training costs. Maybe doing both is a good idea.
Advantages:
Using this calibration, it is possible to design various weapons and spells which are different concerning D, AS and MAD, but they are weighted in a more appropriate way than it is the case now. Your choice of weapons is based on what you prefer: range, damage, speed or a weighting/combination of them. Combat can be balanced and become more interesting once players fight each other with different properties of their weapons and attack style. The work for the devs is small. You need to change a single value for each weapon and spell.

Feature Request | 3511 | No | Engine | Medium | New | Seytra | | Ideas for inventory accessibility | 15.02.2010 | | 1 |
Task Description
While sacks and other containers are good for bulk storage, they have the significant drawback of making the inventory harder to navigate, and sorting as well, especially since one can always only have exactly one container window open.
To fix this, one might consider the following ideas:
1) allow any number of container windows to be open, so one can simply put stuff from one container into another, instead of having to put it into the main inventory first.
2) instead, make the container window, once opened, refresh by what container you click on, instead of having to go the rightclick-select-open route
3) instead, make any containers append to the main inventory slot space, but replace the first slot with an image of the container, and clearly separate the appended areas from each other and from the main inventory space by a diferent frame style (could be different for each container type), or at least some additional space. Also, slot spaces that are not provided by a container should remain blank so that a container always starts at the first (second) slot of a fresh line.
When selecting a container, the appropriate window / slot area frame should flash or something so that one sees which container has which window.
4) Let container windows be resizable, and possibly more compact by default.
Mounts
Having each mount have an own (player-accessible) inventory would allow:
1) armor / other enhancement slots for the mount 2) mules that actually are mules, not PCs 3) easier inventory handling
Maybe most of the extra inventory (handling like above) should not come from the mount itself, but from the saddle or whatever one uses on it. Without saddle, there would maybe only be two inventory slots or something.

A solution to that problem could be found when thinking about a feature to identify such items (based on intelligence, dweomer detection, factions with merchants or whatever).

Perhaps if the apostrophized version of names are only for “display purposes”, so if you see someone named T’Lara, their name is stored as a “key” in the database as tlara, and people can access their name (for instance with /tell) using Tlara, but for display purposes, their name shows up as T’Lara.

Task Description
Dropping an item in the forge or furnace while hammering something results in a message similar to “You can’t train your skill while working”, with the item sitting in the container but never heating up.
Instead, the item should refuse to drop in the forge/furnace (similar to the situation when capacity, weight, or slots are exhausted). Alternatively, the item could drop normally and start heating up.
I have two reasons for requesting this:
It runs counter to immersion. Stuff sitting in a hot place heats up in real life, it should do so in Ylliakum as well.
It is a griefing opportunity. Start hammering something, fill up the forge with stuff, and watch crafters despair. Since the stuff does not heat up, you can even continue crafting - you can take stuff from a slot normally and immediately replace it, the 300 ms lag will make sure that you can fill the slot before the other crafters even see that you freed the slot.
Feel free to change to Feature Request, I cannot know whether the current behaviour conforms to developer expectations or not.

In order for the custom channels to be useful, they need a convenient interface. The need for typing /x before stuff isn’t terribly annoying, but also not terribly convenient.

Therefore it would be nice to be able to create and assign custom tabs to channels, which would then function just like any of the built-in tabs. It would be even nicer if that arrangement could be stored, which would go very well with the auto-joining of custom channels proposed elsewhere.

Feature Request | 4463 | No | Magic System | Low | New | Mario Rohkrämer | | Adding a "natural resource detection" spell | 27.02.2011 | | 2 |
Task Description
You already mentioned that the former “Dweomer detection”, which only vaguely returns a possible enchantment of a weapon, is rather useless as there are also buffs which are not at all obvious regarding stats and skills.
Not to waste the spell in general, I wonder if it was possible to implement instead that a similar one could be used to detect the presence of natural resources. Depending on some experience level, possibly in combination with another glyph (e.g. Earth, Animal, Tree), it could enable the caster to only vaguely detect presence of areas in a more or less close range where mining, fishing, harvesting, etc. (generic type) might be possible (”You feel that harvesting could be possible here.”), up to a more detailed feeling that specific resources are probably in some vague but graduated distance (”You feel that fishing for carp could be possible just next to you.”).
Of course, any new spell could be created as well.

Task Description
It is only partially helpful to estimate if an opponent is more or less stronger than my own char, as long as I don't estimate its defensive qualities too. I would like to see a pair of chances to get hurt by it, and chances to be able to hurt it. Especially since some oppoments are so well armored that even "Extraordinary" quality crafted weapons won't do any damage as long as the character has only average weapon skills. And it is quite vital to estimate the chance of breaking the armor before starting a fight. Even if the opponent is "about as strong as" the character, it is not just risky but suicidal if the opponent is the only one which has any chance to hurt.

It would be cool if players could buy bookshelves like the ones in the library. Rather than the player trying to set all the book items on the bookshelf that can be bought in Winch right now and making it look as if the books are on the shelf in the proper way the same dwarf could sell the shelves that look like the ones in the library. It would hold books like a container.

Task Description
FR by Vakachehk:
I have an idea for mounts which will need some changes to some maps. For Rivnaks (maybe Drifters too) having stables in which without a ring you may summon them, and dismiss them, without any skill of any ring needed, maybe a tria fee of like 50trias every summon/dismiss (of course there's the obvious issue you un-mount and leave your Rivnak somewhere, either the game automatically dismisses it or it is able to be stolen via a player, or a mechanical guard comes and takes it back to the stable or whatever). Using your Ring of Summon Familiar you can use the skill Empathy to dismiss/summon/etc, anywhere at any time. Also I was thinking about the skill 'Riding' maybe this could be trainable and used in combat while on your rivnak?

Task Description
The grill in Reffitia's kitchen in Brado's tavern doesn't behave like other items in the kitchen: The preparation table, for example, is selectable and has a label. The grill is not selectable, and it has no label. One can interact with the grill (e.g., store something in it) just as with the preparation table by right-clicking it. But the grill is much harder to identify, since it has no label.

Task Description
just a idea for a simple rp command. entering /playdead will play the death animation and leave your character imobile similar to the sit command but you will be lying down instead. this can be usefull in roleplay where you are injured but not actually dead or if you want to role play your character going to sleep. entering /stand will cancel both /sit and /playdead. in later versions of the game perhaps this can be also be used to fool the less intelligant monsters like ulbernauts rats and some of the bugs into giving up the chase and loosing interest. i think it would be benificial to have a way to roleplay being wounded or dead without having to actually go to the death realm. say for example your character was killed in a roleplay setting you could use playdead to have a open casket funeral complete with a body that will not dissapear after a minute or two.
i am not sure how easy this would be to acomplish but i suspect you could duplicate the existing sit command and just change the animation called

Feature Request | 4800 | No | Items Characteristics | Low | New | mike loeven | | have jayose and londris sell copies of library books an... | 24.10.2010 | | 3 |
Task Description
there are two libraries in the game one run by jayose in hydlaa and the other a smaller collection of books run by londris in the death realm.
one of the main complaints about planeshift is the lack of information about the game. both of these libraries contain information for ic use but at the same time the books are locked into their shelves and cannot even be coppied unless a player spends the time to manually enter everything into a text file and upload it to a blank book.
my idea is to share the information by adding buy and sell catagories to jayose and londris that match the bookshelves in the library and contain copies of the books stored in each. basically have them sell copies of the library books that you can take with you and share with your friends or even put in a guild hall for easier access.
in all it makes perfect sense that a man who sells blank books would have the resources to copy and sell the important guides and informational books stored in the library

I really like the sewers in Hydlaa, and I think it’d be cool if the other cities (Ojaveda and Amdeneir, mainly) had something like that. I also think it’d be cool if the Hydlaa sewers had a couple more openings, and maybe some intentional service entrances instead of just cave-ins with ladders… And maybe an entrance/exit in the East? Then my Rogue-like character could travel by sewers more, which would be totally awesome.
Are you guys planning to add some more sewers eventually?

Feature Request | 5638 | No | Crashes | High | New | Mario Rohkrämer | | Overhaul errorlog.txt usage, make it contain useful con... | 02.08.2014 | | 5 |
Task Description
There are numerous (at least dozens) complaints in the forum that (especially under Windows) the errorlog.txt contains only uninteresting default errors which are not at all critical, but misses really useful and critical entries instead.
The whole “error console” concept is nonsense for Windows users. Windows builds don’t output anything useful in the console they are started from, and this would be the only console where output could be redirected to files.
If you call the client with the parameter “–console”, a new console is opened, but this one can’t be redirected with “>” or “2>”, you would have to mouse-select as much as you can keep in its history. Most PC users will not know enough about Windows to tweak this console window, maybe not even know how to select and copy from it. On Windows 7 it is even worse, when the client crashed, the new console is nearly disabled, so you almost cannot select and copy text from it after a crash.

Task Description
I’m a new user and I just had a very frustrating experience, so I want to propose an improvement.
I requested a guild mate to craft me some chain armor, and when I got it done I picked the Arm piece i was wearing and tried to exchange by the new one. By the gods, the quality-50 armor merged with the quality-300 one and I got two quality-175 armors. Without any confirmation.
I think the merge-on-stack system is fine for many crafting situations, but merging armor stats is a unexpected one. I fail to see why one would want to merge a higher armor with a much lower one. This doesn’t even make sense: if you mix water and herbs it’s ok that you get an infusion, but you can’t mix a chain mail with another one to instantly get two different ones.
I requested a GM to revert the stats and he said that this is the same situation as when one sells or gives away an item by mistake. I think it is not the same thing. This is not a mistake; it is common to exchange items in the inventory to organize or save space, and having these “side-effects” in place can make a simple inventory management a surprisingly bad experience for new users like me. :(
TL;DR:
1. Please review if it really makes sense to merge armors or weapons. I don’t see the use for it, and it sounds illogical, but probably I’m missing something.
2. Please consider adding a confirmation to actions with clearly bad side effects during inventory management, to avoid the frustration, specially for new users.
3. Please consider adding a toggle/checkbox to the inventory to turn on/off automatic item merging (disabled by default to avoid sad surprises like mine).
Thanks for all the hard work, guys. :)

Task Description
Different fishes will probably have a rather wide range of weights and sizes: e.g. Carp may become as heavy as several kg, few even more than 30 kg; Manta ray even more with a possible length of 5 m; Dace (mud carp), Ide and Orfe (quite the same) or Perch instead usually less than 1 kg; Coppernose (a tropical barbel) will probably be only few inches long.
But all fishes in PS have the same size and weight of 1.
I don’t expect a variable weight and size per catch, but at least different average weights and sizes.

Feature Request | 6029 | No | Crafting | Low | New | Hirene Penifur | | New skill: creating magical scrolls | 19.08.2022 | | 6 |
Task Description
I think it would be nice if mages would be able to make magic scrolls, on the same patterns as you can enchant gems, you could enchant a paper by spells.
Then anyone could use that scroll to cast magic without magical knowledge, so a crafter or fighter character could use identifing, healing or other type of spells. The power of the spell and the duration would depend on the quality of the scroll, and that on the way level of the mage who created it.
Scroll would be crafted from papers on the same way as you make enchanted crystals from gems. It could use an ‘intermediate object’ or multiple glyph enchanting on a single paper would do it too. For example, if a spell is a 3 glyph combination then the crafter would need to use those 3 glyphs (in the right order?) to apply the spell on the scroll.
Using the scrolls would work through the /use command. /use Scroll of Healing Flash /use Scroll of Analyze Dweomer /use Scroll of Fist of the Volcano
The script should consider what is targeted, if an item is targeted, you could use identifing, if a mob or player has been targeted you could use the spell on the target too for attacking or buffing. You also would be able to cast spells on other players that are only allowed now to cast on yourself like Dome of Perfection.
I already discussed it with weltall, who doesn’t see technical limitations in implementation yet.
