*If you wanted to know about Smoke Images in relation to non-Olvi, then this will not, in fact, be all you ever wanted to know about smoke images.

There are twenty-two different smoke images, five levels of each image, and six levels of experience. Olvi are the only race who can attain more than the third level of experience, and thus are the only ones able to teach images to others. The levels of image and experience, listed in order of lowest to highest, are:
1) Wheezer
2) Sneezer
3) Whiffler
4) Streamer
5) Master
6) Master*

The sixth level only means you are able to teach that image, and yields the same image as the fifth level.

All smoke images at all levels have a look to them. I'll let you find them on your own, though, because this is already a massive posting. All smoke images are able to be acted upon (wave, poke, look, smile, etc), though most actions will cause the image to dissipate. Most of the images are able to be exhaled at a target, allowing the image to interact with that target. This can only be done at the fifth or sixth skill level. Example:
>exhale line whip menla
Smoke glides from your mouth, blooming into a picture of a pretty gypsy woman holding a sluagh-hide whip. She raises her arm and flicks the whip toward Menla.
Roundtime: 4 seconds.

Following, I've listed each of the twenty-two smoke images at each level of mastery. Any further questions, please post and I'll do my best to answer.

Deer

-You exhale a cloud of smoke that looks like some sort of upright, four-legged animal.

-You blow out a rivulet of smoke, which forms into a distorted image of an animal that barely resembles a deer.

-You puff out a stream of smoke, which becomes a fuzzy image of something that reminds you of a deer.

Pixie

-You discharge some smoke from your mouth that looks like some sort of deformed floating goblin.

-Strands of smoke ooze out of your mouth, which mutates into something that looks like a cross between a butterfly and a hunched-over Dwarf, as impossible as that seems.

-You puff out some smoke that becomes an image of a pixie with a large misshapen wing.

-You exhale a stream of smoke, which transforms into the image of a mischievous pixie.

-Lofting some smoke from your mouth, you create an image of a mischievous pixie with wings aflutter, pirouetting and dancing through the air.

Horse

-You exhale a stream of smoke, which transforms into the image of a horse and rider.

Cloak

Daisies

-You exhale a cloud of smoke, which changes into the outline of a child-like figure.

Bracelet (I only teach this to Olvi)

-You hold up an arm and puff out three small smoke rings which encircle your wrist like bracelets before fading away.

>You mentioned at the meeting (by the way, did any of us ever post the meeting? If not, I might have time to edit today and post it.) having more smoke images. Are there plans to have a contest? Would you like us to maybe just send in suggestions? I REALLY want a new image! Oh and how much can I bribe ya to turn my piece of driftwood into a proper pipe for a bardic fisherperson halfing? It really needs to be more than a piece of driftwood. hehe

I'm not doing a contest at the present for Prime but you guys are always welcome to send me any suggestions via email at dr-dremara@play.net or post them here on the boards.

Hmmmm, you're bribing me with only a piece of driftwood? How un-Olvi! I might consider it if you come up with something super duper fantastical ;-)
