help recall
RECALL /
RECALL /
Syntax: RECALL
RECALL prays to the Gods for miraculous transportation from where you are
back to the Temple of your home kingdom.  '/' is a synonym for RECALL.
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 half of your movement points.
RECALL doesn't work in certain god-forsaken rooms.  Characters afflicted by a
curse may not recall at all.

Syntax: brandish <target>
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 successful, see the help entries
on the skills scrolls, staves, and wands for more information.

SCROLL 'SCROLL COMMAND'
SCROLL 'SCROLL COMMAND'
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.

Allows you to recite scrolls to cast the spell inscribed on them.

help 'Shield Block'
'SHIELD BLOCK'
Shield block is a rather fancy name for the art of parrying with a shield.
Characters with no shield block skill will not be able to defend themselves
well with a shield.  All classes may learn shield block, but only warriors and
clerics are good at it.  Beware, flails ignore shield blocking attempts, and
whips have an easier time getting around them.  Axes may split shields in two.
Shield block now works against charges from other rooms.

Allows you to brandish staffs and invoke the spells contained within.

help swim
swim
SWIM

The swim skill determines your ability to swim underwater or in the ocean. 
Being unable to swim will result in you attempting to breathe water, which
will hurt you.  Everyone can swim, though some have more trouble with it
than others.  This skill is passive, and does not need to be invoked in
order to function.

ARMOR
ARMOR
Syntax: cast armor <character>
This spell decreases (improves) the armor class of the target character
by 20 points.

24 ticks (about 16 min 24 s)

The longest this effect was ever seen to last in players' game logs, in ticks (a tick is about 41 seconds). It can vary with the caster's level, and combat effects count down in pulses inside a tick.

PRESS THE WOUND
Syntax:  presswound
Cost:    8 movement
A damaging weapon technique earns one Reckoning per round.
Reckoning is the Avenger's resource: up to six points, earned by weapon techniques and by the branded foe's attacks, spent on these arts. See the Avenger help for the full rules.

help rescue
FLEE RESCUE
FLEE RESCUE
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.

RESCUE
A friend in need is a friend indeed.  And when in combat, a warrior with
the rescue skill is just the friend you need.  Rescue allows you to intercede
in combat, protecting weaker characters from bodily harm. Hopefully the
favor will be returned.  Success in rescuing depends on the skill rating, as
well as a comparison of level, dexterity, and speed between the character and
the target. (note: you rescue a friend, not the monster)

help 'Detect Evil'
'DETECT EVIL'
'DETECT EVIL'
Syntax: cast 'detect evil'
This spell enables the caster to detect evil characters, which will
reveal a characteristic red aura.

55 ticks (about 37 min 35 s)

help 'Detect Magic'
'DETECT MAGIC'
Syntax: cast 'detect magic'
 
This spell enables the caster to detect magical objects.  Additional, if cast
in a room where magic resides it will allow the caster to know what that magic
is and whom it originated from.

55 ticks (about 37 min 35 s)

The longest this effect was ever seen to last in players' game logs, in ticks (a tick is about 41 seconds). It can vary with the caster's level, and combat effects count down in pulses inside a tick.

help Meditation
MEDITATION
This skill is similar to fast healing, but relies on the concentration and
mantras to increase mana recovery when the character is sleeping or resting.
Thieves and warriors, with their troubled minds and violent attitudes, have
much trouble learning to meditate.

help Bless
BLESS
BLESS

Syntax: cast bless <character>
        cast bless <object>

This spell improves the to-hit roll and saving throw versus spell of the
target character by 1 for every 8 levels of the caster.  It may also be cast
on an object to temporarily bless it (blessed weapons, for example, are more
effective against demonic beings).  

See also - BENEDICTIONS

Blessing objects also improves character saves, making it more difficult to land maladictions on you.

61 ticks (about 41 min 41 s)

The longest this effect was ever seen to last in players' game logs, in ticks (a tick is about 41 seconds). It can vary with the caster's level, and combat effects count down in pulses inside a tick.

movement points.

REPRISAL
Syntax:  reprisal
Cost:    12 movement; 2 Reckoning

Reckoning is the Avenger's resource: up to six points, earned by weapon techniques and by the branded foe's attacks, spent on these arts. See the Avenger help for the full rules.

help 'fast healing'
'FAST HEALING'
The fast healing skill improves wound healing rates, whether walking, resting,
or sleeping. It represents knowledge of healing herbs or just general
toughness and stamina.  Fast healing is checked every tick, and it is
possible for it to fail.  All class may learn this skill, but mages find it
very difficult to master, due to their bookish lifestyle.  The skill occurs 
automatically, so there is no command syntax.

kick. However, a failed kick may throw an unwary fighter off balance.  Fighters
and clerics are the most skilled at kicking, although thieves may also learn
it.

REMEMBERED PAIN
Earn a reactive point from direct damage by your branded foe.

help 'Cure Blindness'
'CURE BLINDNESS'
'CURE BLINDNESS'
Syntax: cast 'cure blindness' <character>
This spell cures blindness in one so unfortunate.

help Parry
PARRY
If at first you fail to dodge, block it.  Parry is useful for deflecting 
attacks, and is successful more often than dodge.  Parry requires a weapon for
full success, the hand-to-hand skill may also be used, but results in reduced
damage instead of no damage.  The best chance of parrying occurs when the
defender is skilled in both his and his opponent's weapon type.

time.

SUMMON
Syntax: cast summon <character>
This spell summons a character from anywhere else in the world into your room.
Characters who are fighting may not be summoned.

help dodge
DODGE
In the words of one wise warrior, 'the best way to block a blow is to not
be where it lands'.  The dodge skill honors this tradition, by improving the
character's natural agility to the point where many blows will miss the 
target. The chance of dodging is also affected by the dexterity of the
attacker and the target.  Any class may learn dodging.

WITNESS
Syntax:  witness <companion>
Cost:    Consent required
A grouped companion can accept your bond; their wounds can earn your reactive point.
Reckoning is the Avenger's resource: up to six points, earned by weapon techniques and by the branded foe's attacks, spent on these arts. See the Avenger help for the full rules.

Syntax: cast 'cure poison' <character>

This spell cures general poisons that have afficted a given character.

help 'Fireproof'
FIREPROOF
Syntax: cast 'fireproof' <object>
The fireproof spell creates a short-lived protective aura around an object,
to protect it from the harmful effects of acid and flame.  Items protected
by this spell are not harmed by acid, fire, or the heat metal spell.
Although inexpensive to use, the spell's short duration makes it impractical
for protecting large numbers of objects.

GRUDGE
Syntax:  cast 'grudge'
Cost:    10 mana
Read a recent directional trace left by your branded foe.
Reckoning is the Avenger's resource: up to six points, earned by weapon techniques and by the branded foe's attacks, spent on these arts. See the Avenger help for the full rules.

help Gate
GATE
GATE
syntax:  cast gate <target>
The gate spell is a powerful transportation magic that opens up a portal 
between your character and another person or creature somewhere else in the
world.  This portal will transport you and any pet you might have, but not
other members of your group.  Monsters receive a save against gate, and
monster or players more than 3 levels higher than you can not be gated to at 
all.  God rooms, private rooms, and no recall rooms cannot be gated to, and
no recall rooms cannot be gated out of.  Finally, any god or hero is also 
immune to gate, as well as any player who has no summon set.  Clan members 
may not be gated to except by their fellow Clan members. Gate is not powerful
enough to cross the vast oceans to another continent.

able to inflict more damage than other classes.  Enhanced damage is checked
for with each hit, although with a low skill, the chance of receiving a bonus
is very low indeed.

STRIP THE FALSE
Syntax:  cast 'strip the false' <enemy>
Cost:    25 mana; 3 Reckoning
Attempt to remove one magical defense: sanctuary, stone skin, shield or armor.
Reckoning is the Avenger's resource: up to six points, earned by weapon techniques and by the branded foe's attacks, spent on these arts. See the Avenger help for the full rules.

help 'Portal'
Syntax: cast 'portal' <target>
The portal spell is similar to gate, but creates a lasting one-way portal to
the target creature, instead of transporting the caster.  Portals are
entered using 'enter' command, as in 'enter portal'.  Portals cannot be made
to certain destinations, nor used to escape from gate-proof rooms.  Portal
requires a special source of power to be used, unfortunately the secret of
this material component has been lost...  Portals can traverse the boundries
of the continents.  Use look in <portal> to see destination.

help 'Sanctuary'
SANCTUARY
SANCTUARY
Syntax: cast sanctuary  <character>
The SANCTUARY spell reduces the damage taken by the character from any attack
by one half.

12 ticks (about 8 min 12 s)

The longest this effect was ever seen to last in players' game logs, in ticks (a tick is about 41 seconds). It can vary with the caster's level, and combat effects count down in pulses inside a tick.

UNBROKEN PURPOSE
A successful weapon-spell-weapon sequence restores a little mana.

help 'Pass Door'
'PASS DOOR'
'PASS DOOR'
Syntax: cast 'pass door'
This spell enables the caster to pass through closed doors.

14 ticks (about 9 min 34 s)

The longest this effect was ever seen to last in players' game logs, in ticks (a tick is about 41 seconds). It can vary with the caster's level, and combat effects count down in pulses inside a tick.

help 'Third Attack'
'THIRD ATTACK'
'THIRD ATTACK'
Training in third attack allows the character a chance at an additional strike
in a combat, and increases the chance of a second attack as well.  Perfect
third attack does NOT assure three attacks per round.  Only warriors and highly
skilled thieves may learn this skill.

help 'Nexus'
'NEXUS'
NEXUS
Syntax: cast 'nexus' <target>
This spell is virtually identical to portal (see 'help portal'), with the
only difference being that while portal creates a one-way gate, a nexus 
spell makes a two-sided gate.  It also lasts longer than the lower-powered
portal spell.  Both spells require an additional power source, the secret
of which has been lost... This spell can traverse the boundries of continents.

RETURN THE HURT
Syntax:  cast 'return the hurt' <enemy>
Cost:    25 mana; 3 Reckoning
Inflict mental damage and recover limited health based on damage inflicted.
Reckoning is the Avenger's resource: up to six points, earned by weapon techniques and by the branded foe's attacks, spent on these arts. See the Avenger help for the full rules.

NO ABSOLUTION
