WHEEL OF TIME MUD WEAVES

The channelers of the Wheel of Time MUD are the "spellcasters". They are designated as Male Channelers (MC) and Female Channelers (FC). Channeling is the process of "casting a spell", though each gender does so differently. For FCs, the channeler must first embrace, connecting her to her spell points (SPs), and allowing her to channel. A female channeler embraces the true source in order to construct weaves (spells) to affect her surroundings. male channelers, on the other hand must sieze. A channeler can only use her weaves while embracing or siezing the Source. Around the world there are places where you can not "feel the source" (embrace or sieze). Such places are Steddings, some Super MOBs (smobs), and Far Madding.

What are weaves?

Weaves are the "spells" that channelers can weave, or "cast". Yes, you weave a weave. There are 50+ weaves that can be used, each with their own abilities and requirements. A weave can only be practiced or learned if you have learned the right skills in the elements Air, Earth, Fire, Spirit, and Water. Some weaves can only be learned by FCs who are clanned. While MCs can practice all of the weaves, they will be hunted if they become known, and they have no clans they can openly join.

Listing, holding, tieing, and releasing weaves

When typed with no arguments "weave" will output a list of weave affects that are controlled by you, and their current status, tied or held. It is important to note the number associated with the affect as you will use it to control those weaves.

When weaves are woven naturally, some like Warding Vs Damage have a duration that it lasts (3 tics in this case). This is called "tieing off a weave", and is the default when casting a weave with a duration. if you want the weave to last longer, you must "hold the weave." When given the argument "weave hold #" the weaves command changes the status of the weave to held. In this mode its normal duration is suspended while you maintain the weave with a cost of 10 SPs per tic per weaves. If you should run out of SP while holding a weave in this manner you run the risk of overchanneling. Held weaves may not be maintained without being in touch with the Source (embraced or siezed). They also will not be maintained if your target enters a Stedding.

When given the argument "weave tie #" the weaves command changes the status of the weave to tied. In this mode the normal duration of the weave in resumed, and the 10 sp cost per tic is removed. You may also release the source to conserve sps. when given the argument "release weave #" the weaves command will remove the weaves affects from the target and will dispel the weave.
