Saidar is the female half of the One Power and Saidin is the male half. While the actual use varies between the two, the effects are close enough to the same to be considered identical. Until recently Saidin was tainted by the Dark One's touch and use of it eventually drove a male channeler insane or caused their bodies to rot away. The taint has been cleansed from Saidin by the Dragon Reborn and though residual effects still linger, new male channelers will never experience taint-induced madness or rot.

| .:. SAIL |
Sail lets you take the helm and steer a ship. You need the Sail skill and must be in the ship's helm room. Only one person can hold the helm at a time. Syntax: > sail Takes the helm, or lets go of it if you are already steering. > sail <direction> Moves the ship one room in that direction. Take the helm first. Example: > sail The helm is yours. > sail south A ship can sail once her boarding plank is raised, she is undocked, her anchor is up and her sails are raised. Use deckwork status to check those settings, and see help deckwork for changing them. Surveying: > survey Survey shows the surroundings outside the ship without your leaving the deck. You do not need to hold the helm or have a skill to survey, but you must be aboard a ship and on one of her decks. Simulation: > simulation <text> Simulation shows your description to everyone on the ship's deck. It takes the Simulation skill, and you must be on a deck. You can use it to narrate the crossing for your passengers. The person holding the helm can use announce for the captain's calls. See also: Announce, Deckwork, Repel, Skills |

Help Information for Saldaea SIGIL: Three silver fish, one above the other; the Silver Fish BANNER: Three silver fish on a field of dark blue CAPITAL CITY: Maradon RESOURCES: Sheep, Lumber, Furs and Ice Peppers The largest of all of the Border nations, Saldaea stretches from World's End on the western coast of the Aryth Ocean to the River Arinelle, and the northern edge of the Black Hills. It lies directly northeast of Arad Doman. It is ruled by Her Illuminated Majesty, Tenobia si Bashere Kazadi, Queen of Saldaea, Shield of the North, Sword of the Blightborder, High Seat of House Kazadi, Lady of Shahayni, Asnelle, Gunwar and Ganai. It is said that the young Queen Tenobia rules estates larger than the entire city-state of Mayene. The Marshal-General, currently Queen Tenobia's uncle, Davram Bashere, is responsible for commanding the Saldaean military. The Saldaean cavalry is renowned for its mounted drills and maneuvers in unites as large as nine thousand without missing a step. The cavalrymen of Saldaea can perform stunts on horseback flashy enough to impress a gleeman. War, for Saldaeans, is a family affair. Wives often ride to battle alongside their husbands, though they do not engage in combat themselves. Girls are not taught the sword, but are often skilled with knives or hand-to-hand fighting, and many stories tell of women taking up the swords of their fallen husbands to lead the men back into battle. In Saldaea, a highborn lady is expected to be able to ride to the hunt all day while reciting poetry, then play the cittern at night while participating intelligently in discussion of how to counter trolloc raids. Saldaean women usually wear dresses with high necklines and long sleeves. Highborn ladies usually wear silk or brocade, with embroidery along the sleeves and collar, while common women wear similar, if simplier styles, but in wool. Men wear coats with embroidery on sleeves and collar. Both men and women usually go armed with at least a dagger. Even Saldaean farm women are known to be fierce, and rumors tell of some of them shaving the head of any woman caught poaching another's chosen mate. Saldaean women, in addition to their strong wills and fierce natures, are also rumored to be quite sensual. They use 'fan talk' with lace or silk fans to convey messages to potential suitors, and though it has been outlawed by several Queens, and rumors are vehemently denied, high-born ladies are said to be adept in a form of dance known as the sa'sara. This dance, which has supposedly caused wars, and even stopped them, is said to make men's blood boil. Other Saldaean tidbits: * Trolloc raids are frequent in Saldaea. * The eldest Saldaean child of either sex is trained in accounting and trading and those duties required to manage an estate one day. * In Saldaea, men do the proposing of marriage. * A girl's mother must approve of the marriage. * The Queen is advised by a Council of Lords. * The Marshal-General carries a wolf-headed ivory baton as a symbol of his office. * People travel by snowshoes or skies in the winter in Saldaea. * Saldaeans ride smaller-than-average horses.

| .:. SAY |
Say is the command for IC (In Character) conversation in your immediate room. Using say counts as role-playing, and we strongly encourage using emote instead, as say is somewhat outdated as a means of RP. Syntax: > say <message> > ' <message> > esay <message> > osay <message> Example: > say Hello! You say, 'Hello!' The apostrophe is a short form of say. Esay says the same thing in your talk color, and if someone in the room is recording the scene with rplog, an esay goes into the log the way emotes do; a plain say does not. What your listeners understand depends on the language you are speaking at the time. Osay is the command for OOC (Out Of Character) conversation in your immediate room. Only the people in the room hear it, unlike the global OOC channel, and it marks your words as OOC. > osay Hello! (OoC)-> Loth says, 'Hello!' See also: Emote, OOC, IC, RP, Channels, RPLog |

-------------------Seafolk Attitudes------------------- We're very close-mouthed with those who are not Sea Folk. We can be somewhat touchy until we get to know someone. We don't approve of "excessive revelry" We stick strictly to our hierarchy of rank--survival depends on obedience. Others see us as very secretive and aloof, to them, we are almost as mysterious as the Aiel, and many strange tales are told of us. In book 7, chapter 13, for example, Aviendha has read that the SF "never left their ships--never...and supposedly, they ate thier dead." They say that all we care about (and this might be true to a certain extent) is sailing and searching for the Coramoor.

We are very very graceful, with a "rolling walk" from being on ships constantly. Thus, Sea Folk women have a reputation of being exceptionally beautiful and tempting. *Men go barefoot and bare-chested with tattoos. We have hand tattoos, men have a six-pointed star on right hand with marks of clan and line, women (and men, perhaps, it's uncertain) have stars and seabirds with stylized waves. Bilgecleander through First Mate will have no more than 2 pairs of earrings. Sailmistresses and Cargomasters have 4. Wavemistresses and Swordmasters have 5. MotS and MotB have 6 pairs. Windfinders have one less pair than their counterpart. All female higher ranks have a nose ring attached to earrings by chain with medallions hanging from it. THe more medallions, the higher the rank. The MotS has another chain linking all six earrings. No men have nose rings. Lower ranked women may, but no chains attached to earrings. Men (and women, but women less) wear thick gold and silver necklaces. This is also an indication of rank. The more, the higher the rank. High rank women, SM, WM, WF, and MotS wear a gold perfume box as a necklace. It emits a musky scent. Wavemistresses have two-tiered red parasol and her swordmaster has a single tiered red parasol (Don't ask me what for!!!!) Men are clean-shaven. Women wear no shirts when at sea. All sexes wear baggy breeches held up by colorful sashes. When near shore, women wear colorful low-cut blouses. Higher ranks have belt knives with gold wire inlays and decorative carving.

| .:. SEAFOLK FACTS |
-------------------Seafolk Facts------------------- Father of Storms - The Dark One Non-sailors are 'shorebound' or 'shorefolk' To honor an elder or someone of higher rank, touch fingertips to forehead, lips and heart. We believe Aiel kill a man a day and tie men up for sex. Higher ranks wear sashes that are knotted intricately and hang to knees. When bargaining, if they come to you, you may bargain on YOUR terms, otherwise, it is the opposite. We trade a large amount of silk through Tear We trade ivory and silk that we buy from the lands beyond the Waste, an area noone knows much about, not even us. We are only allowed to dock in certain harbors which are walled and closely guarded. If any ship other than SF, or even an SF ship that goes where it's not allowed, disappears. We send a few girls to the Tower so Aes Sedai won't grow suspicious. We rarely go on land--men weep when they must serve ashore. We pay Gleeman well. It takes 7-10 days for an SF raker to sail to Tanchico from Tear. This is very very fast. The next fastest ship would take 15 days, and a coasting craft up to 100. We are divided into clans (These will be a subrank for Wavemistresses, Swordmasters, and 1st lvl Windfinders. Ships are subranks for everyone else.) We have an "oily potion" to help those who are seasick. The mainland is hundreds of miles to the east of Cantorin (a clan as well as an island--for us anyways, it's uncertain in the books). Cantorin Harbor is bowl shaped, and beyond the seawall is an inner harbor filled with SF ships. There's a mudflat near the harbour mouth. The island is governed by an SF governor (we don't have this, Mistress of the Ships will fill this position). The deepest part of the known sea is near Aile (clan and island) Somera. Tremalking Island has a stone hand 50n feet high holding a crystal sphere. Also, there is a huge female statue which is a sa'angreal on Tremalking. It has a male twin in Cairhien. We believe that we must be born and die on water, so a woman will find any way to be on water to give birth--whether it be on ship or rowboat. Corpses are given a burial at sea. We refuse to cross the Aryth Ocean because we say the Islands of the Dead are on the other side (I'm not sure how this would apply to mudlife, but hey! it's good to know, eh? *smile*) We refer to our ships as masculine (the reason why is in book 4 which I don't happen to have with me. It's chapter twenty something...) We do not charge for passage, we _require_ a gift of a value that is equal to the gift of passage. Also, we very very rarely accept Aes Sedai passengers and this decision (as with the decision to carry ANY passenger) is made by the Windfinder of the vessel, as she is the one in danger. Aes Sedai do not know of Windfinders, so the WF decides whether or not to put herself in danger of being discovered. We never take a ship further from the open sea than the nearest port. The crew of a ship is half female, half male. The Sailmistress and Windfinder of one vessel would honor their counter-parts on another vessel by bathing together, serving honeyed wine, and telling stories. Touching the heart with the fingertips is the salute of a deckhand (Bilgecleaner through First Mate for us) Kissing one's fingertips and touching them to another's lips is a gesture of honor between lovers, family members, and very close friends.

Deckhand - Beginner's rank. Lookout - The next rank up, they watch the seas. Sailor - Next rank up. Shipmate - Next rank up. Second Mate - Next rank up. First Mate - Next rank up. Assistant Deckmaster - Assists the Deckmaster. Assistant Deckmaster - In charge of the deck. Cargomaster - This is the husband/partner of the Sailmistresses. He takes care of trade and defense of the ship, as well as responsibilities that the SM delegates to him. Sailmistress - She decides when and where the ship goes. Assistant Windfinder - She assists the Windfinder, and trains to possibly be one some day. Windfinder to the Shipmistress - She weaves the winds for the ship, and defers to the SM, BUT she decides who may or may not have the gift of passage. Swordmaster - He has the same duties as Cargomaster, but is a higher rank. Wavemistress - A WM may also be a Sailmistress, but Wavemistresses generally are the head of a clan. A good WM may be both, though. Master of the Blades - He controls all Cargomasters and Swordmasters. He takes care of trade and defense for the Mistress of the Ships. Mistress of the Ships - She is as a queen or ruler to the Sea Folk. Elder - Retired Seafolk. Alright, what is different here is that you will work in groups of three, once you gain rank. You really can't become a Sailmistress without a Cargomaster and a Windfinder. Then all lower ranks will be assigned to a particular ship and will be required to report to you. Sound good? Well, the SF are known to be EXTEMELY rigid about rank, so we will have to have a very strict pecking order here. Bear in mind that you're going to have to make your char in order to fit a certain role. Only Windfinders can channel and Cargomasters/Swordmasters must be good defenders/traders. (Sailmistresses who can channel will be allowed for now, but you'd better not channel icly. That's for your Windfinder) Oh yeah, no male channelers! (at least not icly!) If you really want a channeler, just keep it a secret and it shouldn't be a problem.

| .:. SEANCHAN |
(shawn-chan) Seanchan are descendants of the armies of Artur Hawkwing, the True High King. They have existed in their Empire across the Aryth Ocean for centuries, their culture and way of life growing to something vastly different from that found in the former countries of Artur's Empire. Now, as they promised long ago, they are returning to the lands of their Forefathers to reclaim what should never have been lost. Little is known for sure of the Seanchan except rumors. Their armor and strange creatures inspire fear in those that see them, and very few escape swearing their Oaths: To Obey the Forerunners, Await the Return, and Serve those who come home. Seanchan regard all those who do not obey their Oaths as enemies. Fearsome stories of how they take prisoner any woman able to channel, no matter how small the amount, and their ruthlessness in dealing punishment to those who oppose them are gradually spreading throughout the countries of the land. Recently, the Seanchan Empire has engaged in a concerted effort to retake the continent from which the Empire's rulers' ancestors hailed. This campaign is known as the Corenne in the Old Tongue or simply the Return. The Seanchan made their first attempt in The Great Hunt, when the Hailene seized the city of Falme and surrounding lands, but were driven back. Later, the Seanchan were successful in taking Tarabon, then continued their advance, taking Amadicia and Altara. They were finally halted in when the forces of Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, fought their invasion of Illian to a standstill. If you wish to include knowledge of the Seanchan in your character's background, wish to join the guild, wish to interact with the Seanchan guild, or simply would like learn more about the Seanchan out of character, please talk to one the guildleaders. |

Green Ajah: The Green tend to love men and may hold bond with multiple warders. They are what is known as the Battle Ajah. They hold themselves ready for Tarmon Gai'don, the Last Battle, when light faces dark finally. Grey Ajah: These are peace-makers and mediators, involving themselves in the dealings of nations, as well as the Tower, to resolve conflict or ease it. Yellow Ajah: Think of little else but Healing. They strive to solve the problems, or limitations, of Healing in the current Age. They tend to be the strongest and most skilled Healers of all Aes Sedai. White Ajah: Logical and stoic, the White Ajah eschews the world and the value of worldly knowledge, devoting itself to questions of philosophy and truth. Brown Ajah: Devoting their lives to the unearthing of lost knowledges and wisdom. They tend to shut themselves off from the world in the process of scouring it for lost artifacts, etc. All but the Red Ajah and Green Ajah have one warder. The Red Sisters do not bond a Warder while the Green Ajah can have as many as she may desire (however limits may be imposed by the GL). See also: Template show 11, Aes Sedai |

| .:. SEDAIREQ |
Aes Sedai Guild Requirements -- 1) You must be at least level 5. 2) You must have either the Wilder, Active or Latent channeler Talents. Please consider this choice wisely. Wilder's are rare, and most oft they die, so if you choose a wilder character, consider that you have a possibility of dying before you even reach the tower. 3) You MUST have a well thought out description. 4) You must be code and IC female. 5) The Mindmastery Talent is highly recommended. 6) The Teaching Talent is recommended. 7) You MUST have a detailed background. 8) You must mail your APPLICATION for entering into the Sedai Guild to -both- Leane AND Siuan, the GL's. 9) You must gain 5 sponsors who mail both Leane AND Siuan of their sponsorship. _________________________________________________________________________ _ Information on Backgrounds: _ A background is merely your characters history. We would enjoy reading one that is fairly detailed. It need not be a ten page dissertation, but a nicely detailed one that is about a page or two would be appreciated (Or however long you feel is necessary to give a complete and all inclusive history of your character). The length of the background is not important, what is said in it is. So, do not worry if you feel your background is too short, or too long, if you include a detailed history of your characters life, then it is just fine. If the background sent in can not be approved, we'll tell you why and give you an opportunity to fix it. _________________________________________________________________________ _ Use this format when mailing in your APPLICATION to the Sedai Guild: _ 1. Name: 2. Level: 3. Code Requirements Fullfilled: [List if you are a Wilder, Active or Latent Channeler and any other talents listed above you have chosen.] 4. Character Description and any Alternative Description: [Enter your Character Description] 5. Character Background: [Enter your Character Background] _________________________________________________________________________ _ Guilding Procedure: _ o Once the application is approved, the assigned Mistress of Seekers will go and 'fetch' the seeker, ICly. o The Seeker is then guilded as a protectorate, and is given a total of two months to earn Sponsors with RP. The amount of Sponsors has changed to earning two (2) Aes Sedai Sponsors, one (1) Aes Sedai of a Higher Rank sponsor (GL, Sitter, MoN, MoA), and two (2) sponsors from anyone else in the Tower guild. A total of five (5) sponsors to earn. _________________________________________________________________________ _ Please keep in mind that the Sedai guild is very RP intensive. We teach code skills and code weaves but only in conjunction with rp. Each player character follows a unique path of study and rises in rank based on a syllabus of RP lessons and code skills/weaves. To advance from Novice to Accepted also requires an RP Test. To become a full Aes Sedai requires completion of the Accepted syllabus, an Accepted Project, an RP session, and a vote of acceptance from your chosen Ajah. _ I know that seeking sometimes is difficult, so I will give a personal recommendation. Just RP, RP anywhere and all the time. Aes Sedai members and Warder members have alts, and if they see a seeker RP'ing they can gauge your skill, your will, and your ability to grow with that alt and send in a sponsor letter or recommendation letter that way as well. So, just because you are not RP'ing with an Aes Sedai or a Warder, does not mean you are not doing sponsor RP right then and there. So, take heart and simply enjoy yourself, develop your character, and most of all, HAVE FUN! _ This has been a personal note by: Leane _ P.S. Please use the seeking code, type seek tower to be visible on our guild seek list. See also: sedai, ajahs |

| .:. SEEK |
A major part of the experience of playing a Moment in Tyme is seeking and becoming a member of a guild. Guilds on MiT are led by mortal Guild Leaders who oversee the guild and its members. In order to become a member of a guild, often times you must first seek it and attain sponsors through Roleplay. You can seek more than one guild at once. Type multiguild with no arguments to list guild names and their short tags. Use a listed tag below; see help guild tag. > seek <guild tag> > seek dd This causes you to seek a specific guild. Entering the command a second time causes you to stop seeking that guild. Note: when you stop seeking a guild, all of your sponsors for that guild are removed. See also: Seeker, Sponsor, Multiguild |

-----------------------[ RPSeek ]------------------------ This command shows you as seeking roleplay (Help Roleplay), when other players type 'where'. Syntax: RPSeek (info) Example: RPSeek Any roleplayer welcome. When players type 'RPSeek List' they will see: A) Which room you're currently in. B) Any information you put after 'RPSeek'. This command is not considered in character (Help IC), nor is the information it disclaims. But it is quite useful in locating, or rather starting roleplay. To turn RPSeeking off, simply type 'RPSeek' a second time. If you set yourself to seek roleplaying in a room, then you move to another room for more than one tick, your seeking is automatically turned off. If you do not know anyone yet, you have several ways to find roleplay. Type 'who' and look for a green (RP) beside a name. Type 'where' to see the rooms where two or more people have gathered, and how many of them are roleplaying. Ask on the ooc or newbie channels (help channels). Certain rooms in Caemlyn are usually busy, among them the Oval Plaza and the Lion Banner Inn (help caemlyn). See also: Where, IC, Roleplay, Who, Channels, Caemlyn |

| .:. SEIZE |
Embracing or seizing the Source lets a channeler hold the One Power ready for weaving. Use the grasp command to take hold of it. Syntax: > grasp > grasp <amount> The optional amount is an Endurance amount, not a percentage and not a weave level. You can change it while already grasping. For a weave cast without an explicit level, that amount supplies the spend within the weave's allowed range. Grasping without an amount leaves an unlevelled weave at its normal spend. An explicit weave level from 1 to 4 selects that weave's Endurance tier instead of using your grasp amount. You must still be grasping. Changing your grasp does not change the spend or strength already fixed for a held combat weave. Example: > grasp > weave 'fireball' 1 loth Type grasp in full: gr and gra select grab, the item command. Only a channeler can grasp the Source. A shield, stilling or a place where the Source cannot be reached can prevent a fresh grasp. You also cannot take a fresh grasp while your Endurance is negative. This is not a ban on further weaving while exhausted if you still hold the Source. Use Release to let the Source go. Grasp is a skill, so an attempt to take hold can fail, and a successful grasp may not last indefinitely. Channeling skills can still be taught through approved RP avenues and then set on the character by the appropriate immortals. See Spells for the existing player-to-player learning guidance.

| .:. SEMANTIC |
SEMANTIC Semantic matching lets an NPC react to what a player means, not to exact words. A language model compares what the player said or emoted with a short description you write. 1. Attach the program with the SEMANTIC trigger: mprogadd <mob vnum> <prog vnum> semantic 0 all It runs whenever a player says or emotes something in the room. 'all' runs on everything; any other phrase runs only when the text contains it. NPCs never set it off, and the trigger itself does not ask the model. 2. Ask the model with 'if semantic <description>': if semantic asks how much it costs to cross the river emote names his price. "Two silver marks, friend." elseif semantic asks where the ferry goes emote points across the river. "Tar Valon, of course." endif The program waits for the answer (at most 60 seconds), then carries on. 'if semantic' is true when the answer is match. Each 'semantic' line the program reaches asks the model once; an 'elseif semantic' is only asked when the lines before it did not match. 3. Check the other answers with 'semmatch': if semantic tries to slow their breathing; any honest attempt counts emote nods. "Good." elseif semmatch mismatch emote sighs. "No, child. Breathe slowly first." elseif semmatch unclear emote frowns. "Show me what you did." elseif semmatch busy emote raises a hand. "A moment, child." endif match - it fits your description mismatch - it clearly does not unclear - the model cannot tell busy - nothing was judged: the model is unavailable or too slow, or too many questions are already waiting Handle only the answers you need; an answer with no branch gets no reply. With an 'all' trigger, leave out mismatch unless the NPC should answer every unrelated remark made in the room. Writing descriptions: - Describe what the player says or does: "asks to be taught to channel". - Put your rules in the description, e.g. "any genuine attempt counts, even a failed one". The model sees only your description and the player's say or emote, nothing else about the game. - Never let the model decide rewards. Check skills and memories with normal if-checks, and give rewards with normal commands. Conversations with several steps: keep the player's step in a memory and check it first, so each step asks the model only once (see 'help mob memory'). Good to know: - 'if semantic' only works in programs started by the SEMANTIC trigger; anywhere else the answer is always busy. - While a player waits for an answer from an NPC, their further says and emotes do not set off that NPC. - If the player or the NPC leaves, the player disconnects, or the program is edited before the answer arrives, the program stops there. - If the MUD has no model configured, every answer is busy.

Immortals Only set [file|player] <character> <field> <value> SET is an extremely powerful command, capable of setting dozens of aspects of characters, both players and mobiles. SET PLAYER forces set to look for a player and not a mobile; useful for players with lame names such as 'guard'. SET FILE lets you change players who are not logged on. If you use SET FILE on a player who IS logged on, your change will be lost. If you wish to set a player who is in the game but is linkless, use set twice -- once with the FILE argument, and once without -- to make sure that the change takes. For toggled fields, the value must be ON, OFF, YES, or NO.

| .:. SETFORM |
Setform is a staff command that sets how well a character has learned a combat form. It works on a player who is online and on one who is not, and every change is written to the staff log. Syntax: > setform <name> '<form>' <value> Sets one named form for that character. > setform <name> '<group>' <value> Sets every form in a learning group at once. > setform <name> 'all' <value> > setform <name> 'newbie' <value> > setform <name> 'starter' <value> Bulk selectors for every listed form, or the recorded set of beginning forms. Newbie and starter select that same beginning set. Example: > setform Loth 'overhead slash' 400 > setform Mira 'all' 0 The value is the learned amount: zero means not learned, and the game refuses anything that is not a number in the allowed range. If a form belongs to a group, setform tells you so and names the group to use instead. On a multi-port server you may add a port number after the value, and you need that port granted to you unless you are an implementor. See help forms for the form names as players see them.

-------------------The Wheel of Time------------------- A Moment in Tyme (or Tyme, or MiT) is a multiplayer roleplaying game set in the world of the Wheel of Time, a fantasy series written by Robert Jordan and finished by Brandon Sanderson. Players control characters who go about acting as they would in this world, working toward their own goals or those of their guilds. Our story follows the books up to the end of Winter's Heart. From there it drifts into a mirror reality, like an alternate version of the world where different things happen. See help timeline for how things stand now. If you have not read the series: That is perfectly fine. You may find some of the world-specific details a little challenging at first, but there is a wealth of information online to fill in the gaps. The Recall Room, where you begin, also points the way: the rooms upstairs are a good place to learn a bit about the setting, and the Visitor's Center is one room down. The Visitor Guides, the Immortals and friendly players will gladly answer questions about the setting. The newbie channel reaches them quickly. Syntax: > newbie <text> Example: > newbie Hello!

-------------------Seafolk Attitudes------------------- We're very close-mouthed with those who are not Sea Folk. We can be somewhat touchy until we get to know someone. We don't approve of "excessive revelry" We stick strictly to our hierarchy of rank--survival depends on obedience. Others see us as very secretive and aloof, to them, we are almost as mysterious as the Aiel, and many strange tales are told of us. In book 7, chapter 13, for example, Aviendha has read that the SF "never left their ships--never...and supposedly, they ate thier dead." They say that all we care about (and this might be true to a certain extent) is sailing and searching for the Coramoor.

THe more medallions, the higher the rank. The MotS has another chain linking all six earrings. No men have nose rings. Lower ranked women may, but no chains attached to earrings. Men (and women, but women less) wear thick gold and silver necklaces. This is also an indication of rank. The more, the higher the rank. High rank women, SM, WM, WF, and MotS wear a gold perfume box as a necklace. It emits a musky scent. Wavemistresses have two-tiered red parasol and her swordmaster has a single tiered red parasol (Don't ask me what for!!!!) Men are clean-shaven. Women wear no shirts when at sea.

| .:. SF FACTS |
-------------------Seafolk Facts------------------- Father of Storms - The Dark One Non-sailors are 'shorebound' or 'shorefolk' To honor an elder or someone of higher rank, touch fingertips to forehead, lips and heart. We believe Aiel kill a man a day and tie men up for sex. Higher ranks wear sashes that are knotted intricately and hang to knees. When bargaining, if they come to you, you may bargain on YOUR terms, otherwise, it is the opposite. We trade a large amount of silk through Tear We trade ivory and silk that we buy from the lands beyond the Waste, an area noone knows much about, not even us. We are only allowed to dock in certain harbors which are walled and closely guarded. If any ship other than SF, or even an SF ship that goes where it's not allowed, disappears. We send a few girls to the Tower so Aes Sedai won't grow suspicious. We rarely go on land--men weep when they must serve ashore. We pay Gleeman well. It takes 7-10 days for an SF raker to sail to Tanchico from Tear. This is very very fast. The next fastest ship would take 15 days, and a coasting craft up to 100. We are divided into clans (These will be a subrank for Wavemistresses, Swordmasters, and 1st lvl Windfinders. Ships are subranks for everyone else.) We have an "oily potion" to help those who are seasick. The mainland is hundreds of miles to the east of Cantorin (a clan as well as an island--for us anyways, it's uncertain in the books). Cantorin Harbor is bowl shaped, and beyond the seawall is an inner harbor filled with SF ships. There's a mudflat near the harbour mouth. The island is governed by an SF governor (we don't have this, Mistress of the Ships will fill this position). The deepest part of the known sea is near Aile (clan and island) Somera. Tremalking Island has a stone hand 50n feet high holding a crystal sphere. Also, there is a huge female statue which is a sa'angreal on Tremalking. It has a male twin in Cairhien. We believe that we must be born and die on water, so a woman will find any way to be on water to give birth--whether it be on ship or rowboat. Corpses are given a burial at sea. We refuse to cross the Aryth Ocean because we say the Islands of the Dead are on the other side (I'm not sure how this would apply to mudlife, but hey! it's good to know, eh? *smile*) We refer to our ships as masculine (the reason why is in book 4 which I don't happen to have with me. It's chapter twenty something...) We do not charge for passage, we _require_ a gift of a value that is equal to the gift of passage. Also, we very very rarely accept Aes Sedai passengers and this decision (as with the decision to carry ANY passenger) is made by the Windfinder of the vessel, as she is the one in danger. Aes Sedai do not know of Windfinders, so the WF decides whether or not to put herself in danger of being discovered. We never take a ship further from the open sea than the nearest port. The crew of a ship is half female, half male. The Sailmistress and Windfinder of one vessel would honor their counter-parts on another vessel by bathing together, serving honeyed wine, and telling stories. Touching the heart with the fingertips is the salute of a deckhand (Bilgecleaner through First Mate for us) Kissing one's fingertips and touching them to another's lips is a gesture of honor between lovers, family members, and very close friends.

| .:. SF Ranking |
-------------------Seafolk Ranks-------------------- Bilgecleaner - This is only for demotion, so don't get in trouble!! Seafolk Child - Only for those who wish to RP as Seafolk children. Deckhand - Beginner's rank. Lookout - The next rank up, they watch the seas. Sailor - Next rank up. Shipmate - Next rank up. Second Mate - Next rank up. First Mate - Next rank up. Assistant Deckmaster - Assists the Deckmaster. Assistant Deckmaster - In charge of the deck. Cargomaster - This is the husband/partner of the Sailmistresses. He takes care of trade and defense of the ship, as well as responsibilities that the SM delegates to him. Sailmistress - She decides when and where the ship goes. Assistant Windfinder - She assists the Windfinder, and trains to possibly be one some day. Windfinder to the Shipmistress - She weaves the winds for the ship, and defers to the SM, BUT she decides who may or may not have the gift of passage. Swordmaster - He has the same duties as Cargomaster, but is a higher rank. Wavemistress - A WM may also be a Sailmistress, but Wavemistresses generally are the head of a clan. A good WM may be both, though. Master of the Blades - He controls all Cargomasters and Swordmasters. He takes care of trade and defense for the Mistress of the Ships. Mistress of the Ships - She is as a queen or ruler to the Sea Folk. Elder - Retired Seafolk. Alright, what is different here is that you will work in groups of three, once you gain rank. You really can't become a Sailmistress without a Cargomaster and a Windfinder. Then all lower ranks will be assigned to a particular ship and will be required to report to you. Sound good? Well, the SF are known to be EXTEMELY rigid about rank, so we will have to have a very strict pecking order here. Bear in mind that you're going to have to make your char in order to fit a certain role. Only Windfinders can channel and Cargomasters/Swordmasters must be good defenders/traders. (Sailmistresses who can channel will be allowed for now, but you'd better not channel icly. That's for your Windfinder) Oh yeah, no male channelers! (at least not icly!) If you really want a channeler, just keep it a secret and it shouldn't be a problem.

| .:. SHA |
The Asha'man Guild consists of the Lord Dragon Reborn's male channelers and those who live around them on the grounds of the Black Tower. They are the only source of training for male channelers except for the Shadow. The Asha'man themselves are easily recognizable by their pure black uniforms and the pins at the collar of their officers and underofficers. They have a fearsome reputation because the Taint upon Saidin meant that they were destined to go mad, and few want to be around someone so powerful when they may become insane at any moment. Those wishing to join the Asha'man must do the following: * Have a clear understanding of the Wheel of Time channeling system, or be willing to learn. * Be a male channeler. * Have a description which fits into the world of the Wheel of Time. * Submit a character background for approval by the Asha'man leadership. Send all background submissions to the GL via mudmail. * RP with and get the sponsorship of one Asha'man ranked Soldier or above. The more sponsors, the better. Anyone wishing to play some member of the Black Tower besides an Asha'man should send an application to the GL. (Check wizlist or GLList) For all backgrounds, please remember that men who have channeled before joining the Asha'man are a rarity. Most men simply wish to serve the Lord Dragon or take advantage of the Amnesty he has proclaimed. Also, please try to stay away from stereotypical backgrounds involving killing the Trollocs who slaughtered your family and fleeing the scene with your family's jeweled sword and hidden stash of coin. Template Show 2 also has information on the seeking process for the Asha'man guild. See Also: Black Tower, Channeling, Saidin, Wilder, Latent |

| .:. Shadowspawn |
Bizzare creations of twisted minds among the Shadow's minions, shadowspawn are near mindless automatons, the shock troops and general army of the Shadow. Some possess the ability to fly, others are capable of walking through the very shaodws themselves, while still others are near indestructable or possess superhuman strength. Legends surrounding the shadowspawn are vast and often used to terrorize little children into minding their elders. Joining the Shadowspawn Shadowspawn characters can exist in the game, however, they are "pre-made" character files which are the property of the Shadow Department. No one may apply to play a shadowspawn from creation. There are times when it may be appropriate for an existing character to "become" shadowspawn, but this is an extremely rare occurance. If you have interest in playing a shadowspawn, contact the Shadow Immortals via mudmail for the most up-to-date situation regarding shadowspawn availability or watch for public posts on the proj show. |

| .:. SHATTER |
Shatter Shatter hammers a single victim in your room with crushing force. Armor's physical protection against crushing blows applies to the injury. A victim who survives the injury may lose one wielded weapon to the room floor. Shatter does not destroy that weapon or disarm every hand at once. The usual dropped-weapon recovery, including automatic recovery when enabled and possible, still applies. You can also get and wield it again. Syntax: > weave 'shatter' <power> <target> Example: > weave 'shatter' 2 Shai Power may be 1-4. It is separate from your grasp and the weave's complexity. You may also omit power: weave 'shatter' Shai. See WEAVE for casting requirements and Combat Channeling for gathering a weave during a fight. See also: WEAVE, Combat Channeling, Cure Wounds, Heal |

| .:. SHOPS |
Shops are places where the adventurer may purchase equipment for his quests, and where he may sell his treasure if he should manage to survive the perils with his life and sanity intact. Many shops trade only in a specific type of merchandise. Thus, a baker may well refuse to buy your armor, even if it is of high quality! To some people, the prospect of obtaining the entire inventory of a shop by murdering the keeper may appear tempting - but beware: The shopkeepers are often rugged, capable men; roughened by years of trading and, indeed, surviving in a world where the only safe prospect is death in the end.

Shout carries your words to everyone on the MUD who has the shout channel on, wherever they happen to be. It is not limited to your room or the area around you. Syntax: > shout <message> > shout @ Example: > shout Hello out there! Loth shouts : Hello out there! Shout is only available if it has been granted to your character. channels shout turns the channel off and on for your own ears, and shout @ lists who is on it. Being able to hear shouts does not mean you can send them. See also: Channels, OOC, IC |

| .:. SHOW |
Show lists prototypes and lets you search them with optional WHERE filters. They do not require the object, mob or room to be present. Syntax: > show rooms <zone> > show mobs <zone> > show objs <zone> > show shops > show shops <list number> > show shops . For shop details, use the number in the ## column of show shops, not the shop's vnum in the Virtual column. A dot selects the shop here. WHERE filters > show rooms where <expression> > show mobs where <expression> > show objs where <expression> > show shops where <expression> For rooms, mobs and objs, a zone can still precede where. Without a zone, these three searches require a WHERE clause. If the first token is where, there is no zone prefilter. For shops, a number alone selects shop details; a number followed by where filters a listing by zone. Price breakdown > show price <objvnum> [shopvnum] Expression language Keywords are case-insensitive: where, and, or, between, in, like, is, null, not. Operators and expressions include: field = value field != value field < value field <= value field > value field >= value field between a and b field in (a, b, c) field like "pattern" field is null field is not null Parentheses support grouping, such as (a or b) and c. Use single or double quotes for strings, such as name like "%tar valon%" or name = 'a long torch'. The function has(field, value) tests bitset-like fields, such as wear flags or extra flags.

OLC SAVE (git-backed) In MM32, Oasis OLC save now triggers git commit+push on the builder branch. Examples: redit save 12 oedit save 12 medit save 12 sedit save 12 zedit save 12 mpedit save Flow: 1) The game saves the zone file(s) to disk. 2) You are forced into the in-game editor to write a git commit message. - Finish with @@ to commit+push. - Use @x to cancel git commit/push. 3) The game appends an audit footer (builder, zone/type/file, and vnums modified). 4) git add/commit/push runs asynchronously. Mob programs follow the same flow. mpedit save commits the program files it wrote (and world/prg/index when the save changed it) in one commit, and mprogadd / mprogdelete commit the mob's zone file, as medit save does. Promoting to prod: Use "portzone <zone>" to promote a zone from builder -> main. |

Combat is turn based. Fighters take turns, and on your turn you choose one action. When someone attacks you, you get a chance to defend. If you take too long, the game picks an action for you. You can fight NPCs as well as other players, and they will fight back. Fighting another player is covered by policy PK. Syntax: > slash <target> [aim] > thrust <target> [aim] > unarmed <target> [aim] Attack. The command names the kind of blow, and the game picks one of your known forms of that kind. The optional aim is head, body (or torso, chest), a side and limb such as right_arm, left_hand, left_leg or right_foot, or the name of a bodypart, which you can shorten. Use an underscore in place of a space. > parry [attacker] > dodge [attacker] Defend against the person attacking you. When you are defending, you can leave the name off.

See help flee. > turn get <object> Plain get is blocked while you fight. This spends your turn picking up one loose object from the room. Settings: > autocombat Lets the game choose your attacks and defenses for you. To avoid just one form while keeping automatic choices, use disable; see help disable. > aggressiveness <mode> Sets how boldly you fight, from defensive to reckless. > fthru <practice/normal/extreme> Sets how hard you swing. > wimpy <hit points> Makes you try to flee when your hit points drop below that number. > subdue Toggles whether a deadly blow against another player knocks them out instead of killing them. > combat speed <number> Sets how many seconds you get to act on your turn. Very short times are refused. Example: > slash Sabin right_hand Aiming at an area like right_hand makes the game pick a part within it, such as the hand or a finger. The attack line names the part it picked. If the game tells you your motions feel predictable, you have been repeating the same kind of blow. Mix it up.

Slicing a weave is a defensive technique that interrupts another channeler's weave by severing the flows used to create it. This results in a snap-back that physically impacts the channeler whose weave has been sliced. The construction of the slicing weave varies by channeler gender. For code purposes, when implemented, a channeler activating the autocut toggle will automatically attempt to slice, or cut, any incoming, hostile weaves. See also: Autocut |

Sneaking lets you slip from room to room without the usual coming and going messages, so people in the rooms you pass through are not told that you leave or arrive. You need the sneak skill to try it. Syntax: > sneak You try to move silently. Type sneak again to stop. If you do not know the skill, the game tells you so. Example: > sneak You try to move silently. So far so good. Sneaking does not hide you while you stand in a room the way hide does; it suppresses the usual movement messages. A failed attempt means you stepped on the proverbial dry twig. If someone starts searching the room while you are sneaking, you stop sneaking and cannot start again for a while, even if the search fails to find anyone. See also: Hide, Skills |

Bizzare creations of twisted minds among the Shadow's minions, shadowspawn are near mindless automatons, the shock troops and general army of the Shadow. Some possess the ability to fly, others are capable of walking through the very shaodws themselves, while still others are near indestructable or possess superhuman strength. Legends surrounding the shadowspawn are vast and often used to terrorize little children into minding their elders. Joining the Shadowspawn Shadowspawn characters can exist in the game, however, they are "pre-made" character files which are the property of the Shadow Department. No one may apply to play a shadowspawn from creation. There are times when it may be appropriate for an existing character to "become" shadowspawn, but this is an extremely rare occurance. If you have interest in playing a shadowspawn, contact the Shadow Immortals via mudmail for the most up-to-date situation regarding shadowspawn availability or watch for public posts on the proj show. |

Any man or woman who has touched the One Power without having been guided and taught the proper way to channel, is referred to as a Wilder. These people have "blocks" in order to prevent them from accessing their abilities consciously, and they cannot channel voluntarily until and unless it is broken. Those who would become Wilders in time, but have not yet touched the One Power are known as Sparkers. The "blockbreak" skill is only able to be gained by channelers guilded in the channeling guilds. However, if you find someone willing to roleplay breaking your block you do not have to be guilded in order to have it broken. See also: Channeler, Channeling, Latent |

| .:. Spell Firestorm |
Firestorm Firestorm calls a raging blaze through your room, burning eligible occupants. Fire damage is spread across each victim's present external body parts. Worn armor with fire protection reduces the damage only where it covers the body; ordinary clothing does not provide that protection. Burns can keep causing injury after the initial hit. They persist through saving, quitting and logging back in. Burns eventually settle, but damaged body parts may still need healing. Cure Wounds and Heal can treat them. You do not name a target. Properly grouped allies are normally avoided, but a misfire can still hit them. A successful cut can stop the firestorm before it reaches its victims. Syntax: > weave 'firestorm' <power> Example: > weave 'firestorm' 2 Power may be 1-4. It is separate from your grasp and the weave's complexity. You may also omit power: weave 'firestorm'.

Infrigidation Infrigidation locks a killing cold around a single victim in your room. It deals immediate damage and, if the victim survives the injury, leaves a temporary slowing effect. The cold reduces speed, not force. Recasting refreshes the slow rather than stacking a stronger penalty. The slow survives saving, quitting and logging back in, but it still wears off; it is not a permanent loss of speed. Syntax: > weave 'infrigidation' <power> <target> Example: > weave 'infrigidation' 2 Shai Power may be 1-4. It is separate from your grasp and the weave's complexity.

If you possess the ability to channel you can learn various weaves, magical spells. In order to learn a weave, you must first make sure you meet its preconditions, then you must find a teacher. Weaves and other channeling skills are taught player to player. Knowing and using weaves Use spells to list the weaves you know. Inform gives information about a named weave. You still need its skill, required flows and prerequisites to cast it; choosing a larger spend tier does not bypass those checks. Follow the weave's own learning restrictions, where applicable. Example: > spells > inform 'fireball' Use Grasp to hold the Source, Weave to cast, and Release to let it go. Weave accepts an optional level from 1 to 4 to select an Endurance tier; without one, it keeps grasp-derived spending. The level is not the weave's complexity. In combat, accepted weaves charge before resolving and occupy your primary action. Combat Channeling explains the delay and your defensive choices. Overchanneling explains the danger of spending beyond your Endurance, including the first cast that takes you below zero. Weave help pages describe effects and choices, not permission to learn every weave. Channeling skills can also be taught through approved RP avenues and set by the appropriate immortals, as the existing Grasp guidance explains.

| .:. SPIRIT |
Your flowstrengths reflect your proficiency in the five flows (air, water, spirit, fire, earth). Generally, men are stronger in fire and earth, and women are stronger in air and water. Flowstrengths are used as preconditions for various spells. Air: Air is used to gain spells such as wrap, gag, etc. Water: Water is the flow needed for spells like create water, waterwalk, and so on. Spirit: Spirit is needed to use such spells as shield, gentle, etc. Earth: Earth is required for weaves along the lines of earthquake. Fire: Fire is the flow needed to manipulate spells such as slice weave, fireball, etc. The higher your flows are, the better. Higher flows allow you to cut weaves much easier. So, for example, if someone attempted to weave wrap upon you and their flow of Air was lower than yours, you would stand a greater chance of slicing their weave than they would have at succeeding at it. That is, of course, if you have the slice weave spell. To raise a flow from: 1 - 10 1 practice raises 3 points 11 - 20 1 practice raises 2 points 21 - 30 1 practice raises 1 point 31 - 40 2 practices raises 1 point 41 - 50 3 practices raises 1 point See also: Training, Stats, Score |

Split shares some of your marks with the grouped companions standing in the room with you, so that you do not have to hand coins to each of them in turn. Syntax: > split <amount> Give the number of marks you want to split. They are divided equally, in whole marks, between every grouped player in the room, and that includes you: one share comes back to you. Companions who are following you but have not been added to the group, group members in other rooms, and NPC followers do not get a share. Example: You, Loth and Duren are grouped and standing in the same room: > split 20 You split 20 marks among 3 members -- 6 marks each, 2 returned to you. The 20 marks are taken from you and divided three ways: Loth gets 6, Duren gets 6, and your share of 6 comes back to you. The remaining 2 marks are returned to you as well, so you keep 8 and each companion gets 6. If the amount is too small to give everyone a whole mark, you keep it all. If you are not in a group, or none of your group is in the room with you, the marks simply stay in your purse. See also: Group, Follow, Report, Econshow |

Dexterity: This makes you naturally more difficult to hit in combat. It affects your speed and agility and precision.

The unit of weight measurement in the Wheel of Time series was as follows: 10 ounces = 1 pound 10 pounds = 1 stone 10 stone = 1 hundredweight 10 hundredweight = 1 ton While this makes calculations easier, it does not allow measurements to be easily understood by players/readers. In order to make things more comparable to real world weights, A Moment in Tyme has adopted British Imperial units for weight: 16 drams = 1 ounce 16 ounces = 1 pound 14 pounds = 1 stone 8 stone = 1 hundredweight 20 hundredweight = 1 ton These match up with real world weights very closely so you can better comprehend the units being used.

| .:. SUBDUE |
Subdue is a toggle for fights you mean to end without a death. When it is on, a blow that would kill your opponent knocks them out and captures them instead, whether they are a player or an NPC. A player who tries to flee at their wimpy level may be caught the same way. A captive follows their captor. They cannot walk away, change who they follow, attack, sit, rest or quit, and though gentler weaves remain theirs to try, they cannot start a violent weave. Being captured also takes a channeler out of any circle they were part of. A captive goes free when their captor releases them with unsubdue or strays from their side, or when either of them is attacked. Otherwise the capture wears off after a while, sooner if they were taken unhurt. A wounded captive also goes free on recovering fully, but keeps following their captor until they choose to stop. Syntax: > subdue Switches subdue on or off, and tells you which. > turn surrender Offers to stop fighting. An opponent can take you up on it with turn acceptsurrender <name>, which ends the fight and captures you. Offering surrender sets aside any weave you were still gathering, and an enemy who attacks you anyway simply ignores the offer. > unsubdue <name> Releases someone you have captured. Example: > subdue You will now subdue in fights. Duren wants Loth alive, so he turns subdue on before their duel. His last blow captures Loth instead of killing him, and Loth follows him until Duren releases him. See also: Combat, Death, Wimpy, Flee, Leash |

| .:. SUBRANK |
A guild is a group of characters who share a background or a purpose, and belonging to one is part of your character's life in the world. Some guilds, like the Aes Sedai, are very strict about their members' behavior and about who may join. Others, like Daes Dae'mar, the nobles' guild, are looser and gather guards, Lords, Magistrates and more under one name. Joining a Guild: First decide which guilds interest you. If you dream of being a Warder, an Asha'man, a Hornhunter, a damane or an Aes Sedai, look for the guild that fits. Read what each one asks of its applicants on the recruiting board. The board is out of character, so it is a place to read, not to roleplay. When you are ready, tell the game which guild you are seeking and start roleplaying with its members. Seeking the same guild a second time stops it. Usually the more popular and influential a guild is, the harder it is to join, with more sponsors and more time required. That is only a rule of thumb; many small guilds are very demanding and look for the best roleplayers. Syntax: > template list > template show <#> > multiguild > seek <guild tag> Example: > template list > multiguild You can belong to more than one guild. Type 'multiguild' with no arguments for player guild names and their short tags. Use a tag with 'seek', and see 'help guild tag' for details. GLs can also use the 'multiguild' command to see all the options available to them for administration of their guild rosters, including changing the ranks, subranks, membership, and more. To see the seeking requirements and information of our guilds, type 'template list' for the full index, then 'template show #' for the specific guild in which you are interested. To see who leads which guilds, type 'gllist'. See the Guild Immortal for any guilds without a mortal guildleader, or with any other questions about the guilds.

| .:. Summon |
The summon command lets you make up a list of your "trusted" friends. You can put as many of people in that list as you like: that allows everyone on that list to "summon" you to their roleplaying (which works like the Immortal command trans) and their room at any point. This is made to be a RP-assisting tool, allowing people to find RP with the other RP tools ("where", "rpseek", the (RP) flags of the who list), and be promptly brought into roleplaying sessions without having to find their way - especially while skills like track are in shorter supply. Obviously, this is an OOC command. There's no weird OP-trick that brings people to distant rooms ICly, it conveys no knowledge without other IC means, etc - you know the drill. More detailed syntax: summon lets you see the list of the people you've put in your list. summon <character> lets you transfer a character into your room, provided they have placed you into their trusted summoners' list. summon list <character> lets you put a new character into your trusted summoner list, or remove them if they are already there - it is a toggle. |

| .:. SURRENDER |
Subdue is a toggle for fights you mean to end without a death. When it is on, a blow that would kill your opponent knocks them out and captures them instead, whether they are a player or an NPC. A player who tries to flee at their wimpy level may be caught the same way. A captive follows their captor. They cannot walk away, change who they follow, attack, sit, rest or quit, and though gentler weaves remain theirs to try, they cannot start a violent weave. Being captured also takes a channeler out of any circle they were part of. A captive goes free when their captor releases them with unsubdue or strays from their side, or when either of them is attacked.

| .:. SURVEY |
Sail lets you take the helm and steer a ship. You need the Sail skill and must be in the ship's helm room. Only one person can hold the helm at a time. Syntax: > sail Takes the helm, or lets go of it if you are already steering. > sail <direction> Moves the ship one room in that direction. Take the helm first. Example: > sail The helm is yours. > sail south A ship can sail once her boarding plank is raised, she is undocked, her anchor is up and her sails are raised. Use deckwork status to check those settings, and see help deckwork for changing them. Surveying: > survey Survey shows the surroundings outside the ship without your leaving the deck. You do not need to hold the helm or have a skill to survey, but you must be aboard a ship and on one of her decks. Simulation: > simulation <text> Simulation shows your description to everyone on the ship's deck. It takes the Simulation skill, and you must be on a deck. You can use it to narrate the crossing for your passengers. The person holding the helm can use announce for the captain's calls. See also: Announce, Deckwork, Repel, Skills |

| .:. SWIM |
Swim has very little use on the MUD. There are certain rooms where they are flagged as having water and your character will swim across instead of wading, struggling, waddling, etc. However, other than this it is purely a skill that should be associated with your character ICly. |

| .:. SWORD |
A Moment in Tyme has many kinds of weapons: daggers, swords, maces, spears, axes, flails, polearms, bows and more. To put yours to good use, you need fighting forms that suit it. Your skill in those forms matters, rather than a separate skill for the weapon itself. Syntax: > wield <weapon> > forms Wield readies a weapon for battle. The forms command lists the fighting forms you know. Example: > wield sword > forms Commands such as Slash and Thrust choose a form you know that fits the weapon in your hands. The weapon style you choose when you create your character decides which forms you begin with. See also: Forms, Combat, Wield |
