I'm curious, is this in test? If so, has anyone tested it? It's trained by using pathways and familiars, anything more specific? Do higher tier pathways teach better? What familiar commands teach?

>summon help
Summon allows Warrior Mages to draw down forces from the Elemental Planes. Normally this takes the form of magical creatures, but Warrior Mages can learn to summon subtle and unlocalized expressions of the Elemental Planes' otherworldly physics.
SUMMON FAMILIAR (Aether)
A ritual that summons an aether elemental to serve as your familiar.
SUMMON ADMITTANCE (Universal)
A meditation that draws Elemental Charge from your aligned plane.
SUMMON IMPEDANCE (Universal)
A meditation that discharges Elemental Charge safely.


You align to a certain element. I am presently aligned to FIRE.

you do admittance as far as you can <if you try to go beyond, you get messaged "
>summon admittance
You so heavily embody the Elemental Plane of Fire that it already threatens your health. Going any further while in this plane would be fatal.


you're then like a battery for the skill. You then use the Pathways to kill stuff in combat, preferably the pathways you are aligned to your element of choice <you can realign, you just have to do impedance first to get rid of the accumulated element>

>pathway list
You have the knowledge of the following pathways:

Focus Damage (Fire)
Increases damage from targeted magic.
Focus Quick (Air)
Decreases targeting time for spells.
Focus Ease (Water)
Reduces the difficulty to cast targeted spells.
Focus Power (Earth)
Increases the Potency of spells.
Focus Accuracy (Electricity)
Increases the accuracy of targeted magic.
Focus Secrecy (Water)
Reduces the chance that your targeting matirx will be spotted. <by the way guys- this is misspelled>
Focus Precise (Air)
Makes it easier to target specific body parts with spells.
Focus Defend (Earth)
Makes it harder to direct targeted magic at you.
Focus Conserve (Fire)
Decreases minimum mana cost of targeted spells.
Elemental Barrage (Electricity)
Simultaneously attack with a melee weapon and a targeted spell.
Perceive Pathway (Aether)
Detects aethereal pathways in use nearby.

using the pathways teaches summoning. For very young WMs, summoning their familiars teaches a bit too. You have to summon admittance more for bigger familiars.

Is barrage not currently working?

>prep lb
That won't affect your current attunement very much.
You trace a careful sigil in the air, shaping the pattern of the Lightning Bolt spell.
>target geni
You begin to weave mana lines into a target pattern around a forest geni.
>wield scim
You draw out your royal blue scimitar from the greatsword sheath, gripping it firmly in your right hand.
The forest geni closes to pole weapon range on you!
The forest geni rocks suddenly with laughter.
The forest geni closes to melee range on you!
Your formation of a targeting pattern around a forest geni has completed.
* A forest geni pounds at you. You badly fail to block with a royal blue scimitar. The fist lands a light hit to your back.
>barrage feint
You must have a fully developed target matrix to make a barrage attack.

I'm not sure, I haven't been able to get it to work, not sure if its a syntax issue or what. I've been able to get all the other pathways to work except for barrage.

Is that bug site still around, or is this where we post? Maybe I should ask over in the Plat folders?

How does one get a login? Also, it appears this is not an https site, because all kinds of warnings go off when I click on it.

I forget who you contact, but I think it's in the archives somewhere in the test folder announcements.

The certificate is wonky for that specific version of the URL.

https://sebeni.us/bugs/ works fine without it. The other is just the one I have as my default.
