Playing around at home, I'm casting E-bolts on a backpack (so
basically, nothing happens, but I lose mana, sometimes magery
increases - it's just a way to cast the spell without *hitting*
anything).

Shade's thief is there stealing from a pack llama. The pack llama is
loaded to the brim with cloth (thousands and thousands of gold worth
of cloth) and a bunch of magic bows and xbows (because that's what
she's stealing).

Just for a little excitement, I decide to cast Blade Spirit.

Observations:

1. If you cast Blade Spirit on a backpack, the BS, unlike Ebolt, does
indeed appear.

2. One BS can kill a whole house full of people and pets.

3. When a pack llama dies, all the stuff in his pack goes *poof*.

4. Some llamas still have furs. Or did.

Use crystal balls for praticing magery on.
That is what they are for.

I bet the second you saw it poof into murderous existance you groaned
inwardly. Had the same thing happen in my house, the bladespirit ran around
smashing everything. If the item is not really even blocking it, just kinda
in the way, the bladespirit smashes it, just for the hell of it. "You like
this box?" Blam! "How bout this one?" Blam! "No not my antique armoire!!!"
Blam!
At least the armoire had the key to my secure chest, which I had thought
lost many moons ago. I guess I should be thankful for that.

>4. Some llamas still have furs. Or did.


That's a good thing though. I have been looking around for some nostalgic
fur rugs. I want my house to look retro.

Oh, it is not.

Casting a spell on a chair, table, backpack, ingot, etc. is the exact
same as casting it on a crystal ball.

I think this means you are the current leading in the "i SUK" contest.
You got bonus points over Magnus because of the increased degree of
difficulty in killing your established players.

I thought I was good, having killed two of my own horses, hired thief,
gorilla that was so old he had a hide, and myself.

But that full pack llama kind of knocks the wind out me.

Yup, blade spirits aren't exactly targeted magic. They aren't
exactly charming sparring partners anymore either.

Yeah, and destroy all the furniture in there too. You know, you can
cast dispel on them and make them go bye bye?

I didn't know this. Then again, I've never owned a pack animal.

They made some kind of deal with Origin I heard.

Too bad ya can't lock them down...not exactly sure why but ya can't. Major
bummer as far as I'm concerned, I was going for that look in my shop as well,
but no luck for us nostalgic guys I guess.
*Wishes for lockable furs*

Not DuPont. He can barely cast Dispel. Did I mention that DuPont's
strength is 23?

Nagh, it was my alchemy/scribe shut-in, "DuPont", with his 23
strength. Shade's character has a 12 strength. Actually the llama
could have killed us both.
