Hello all!

It's been a bit over a month since Magic 3.1 came out, and we're planning to turn spell choosing on at the end of this weekend. Any spells you've chosen will be wiped (except Quest spells) and all feats will also be wiped (because many people chose all feats ages ago).

Just giving y'all a heads up before we do it!

Please keep responses in Abilities, Skills and Magic \ General Magic Feedback so we can keep track of things.

Thanks!

<<I just checked Ratha shop for Gauge flow scroll and it is not being sold yet. Could that be fixed prior to the preview ending and all spells getting wiped? Can't seem to train without it.

Don't we learn the Analogous Patterns spells from trainers in major cities?

<<Not last I heard. Crossing Artificer stocks a bunch of AP spells so people can easily learn them that way. Not sure if they carry GaF.

Hmm. That actually fits with what I recall them saying a couple years back.`I.e. You can learn the spells through an easily accessible NPC. Okay, so if they're scroll only spells then I will go ahead and update that on elanthipedia to reflect that status.

I'm not sure if all of the shops are being updated, but it is, at least, available in Crossing in the Artificer's Shop.

On the scroll stand, you see:

a fine scroll labeled EASE BURDEN for 1.5 gold Kronars

a white scroll labeled LAY WARD for 2.5 gold Kronars

a plain scroll labeled DISPEL for 5.5 gold Kronars

an off-white scroll labeled IMBUE for 2.5 gold Kronars

a crisp vellum scroll labeled STRANGE ARROW for 1.5 gold Kronars

a sturdy yellow scroll labeled MANIFEST FORCE for 3.5 gold Kronars

a grey scroll labeled BURDEN for 2.5 gold Kronars

a pale lilac scroll labeled SEAL CAMBRINTH for 3.5 gold Kronars

a heavy parchment scroll labeled GAUGE FLOW for 1 platinum Kronars

[Type SHOP [GOOD] to see some details about it.]

Keeping magic feats isn't an option. Wipe wipe wipe.

I need to talk with Socharis about whether we're keeping scrolls intact. I'm a little worried about how we'll determine which spell scroll to keep if you have two of them. Might be that we'll decide we shouldn't care and just let strange situations naturally cycle out of the system.

awesome thank you.

I almost hate to ask for this to happen early, but are you guys planning on shutting this down sometime Sunday afternoon? That would give me time to hustle around and get feats/spells picked up before I had to go to work Monday, so I could spend most of Sunday night tinkering with spell setups.

<<Our plan is you keep your memorized scrolls, but any scroll feats that are "in use" at the time of the wipe will not be wiped from you.

Similar to this, how will currently researched symbiosis be handled? I suspect the best way to deal with them is to just let us keep them and have them cycle out naturally over time with death. Or will they just be wiped entirely? Or perhaps even the same as scrolls where we keep the requisite feat for the one we have researched?

Sounds good to me, any ETA for the big wipe?

We've decided to delay this for a couple days after finding a few issues with some of the slot costing and some mechanics. You'll likely see the preview end in Platinum on Wednesday.

Thanks for being patient!

>>This does not apply to barbarian supernatural abilities correct?

Correct, being that they're not spells.
