<hunts for scholarship CJ.. more to come>

The parchment scroll contains a complete description of the Energy Manacles spell.

"The Energy Manacles spell creates a set of magical chains that fly toward your target. If it does not dodge in time, the manacles will snap together, immobilizing them. This spell is an Evocation Sorcery, which is a combination of Lunar and Elemental magics, so be warned that it's possible to hurt yourself when casting."

I got one too, was regurgitated by a baby caracal while I was hunting. Now my question, if it's partly elemental, can I learn it for real from the scroll?

I'm callin' an early dibs on an energy manacles scroll... hehe. Just don't gouge me too bad I'm poor... but I've got plans for them... oh have I got plans <cackles>

>>No idea what kind of critter uses it.. but damn I want that spell memorized forever.

>>As a side note, I can't cast ANYTHING but Energy Manacles now. I forgot every other spell :(

Is it a TM or semi-TM spell?

And I agree, sounds like a delicious spell to learn permanently, but I doubt anyone can because of the mix between different types of magic...

And does anyone have any idea how much this scroll will be going for, and how much scholarship is needed to read it?

Greetings.

>next step for pureblade will be morphing into a dwarven insect.

Where do you think he will fit in the critter ladder then? *ducks and runs* (kidding)
