Devak investigation.

[Dragoth]

Well, the spell is now fully integrated so here's a few bits of the puzzle i solved so far for anyone who wishes to continue with this.

Mantra book popped on curator in Tony's Temple on lyme

Lodge (earth toned spellbook) book pops somewhere in earth planes on Ah ( killed 10 golems, 5 magus - books 0)

Nature's upheaval (tribal secret) book pops somewhere on SS

Devaks (marble sceptre) pops in:
crypt
underdark
kara'sa
tomb of sebek
castle zodiac
and on Sebek.

When you find out any extra info on this topic, please post it here.

Cheers.

Sandy Beach
The beautiful yellow-white sand that comprises this beach extends for
quite a distance to the north and south. There is an ancient dock to the
immediate west which appears to have been standing for many decades, perhaps
centuries. A collage of tents and grass huts dot the landscape in a small
settlement of island natives to the east.
Exits: North East South West
A brilliantly colored totem glows brightly, as it sticks out from the earth's cra devak of healing
*(Brilliant Red Aura) A grotesque Ju-Ju Zombie searches the area for more food.
A dark-skinned native man wanders around carrying a long spear.
A dark-skinned native man wanders around carrying a long spear.
A huge hermit crab slowly drags itself across the beach.

Ok.
You release the magicial energies maintaining your totem, the Devak is quickly returned to you.


So here we go : )

[Dragoth]

<744hp 694ma 289mv>wak
You wake, and sit up.

<744hp 700ma 289mv>w

<744hp 700ma 289mv>
save
A devak of healing turns to dust and is blown out of your hands by a sudden breeze.

Even though its been in my inventory the whole time

[Vixn]

So, what does it give you?

[*Splork*]

I've finished cleaning up a few bugs that have been found and next reboot, players should start noticing the affects and changes that have been made.

Ive also updated help devak.

Enjoy,
Splork

[Dragoth]

Just to elaborate, book pop locations have not been found yet and i managed to get ahold of the books via a book scatter Splork did earlier.

Nature's upheaval book is a suspected pop on earth guardian in earth planes.

Still no new info regarding lodge books.

[Rigwarl]

[quote="Vixn":ijjv3qve]So, what does it give you?[/quote:ijjv3qve]


In a nutshell...

1)Step one, learn all these spells

2) Step two, Pop a Marble Sceptre from the various mobs

3) Step three, decide which devak you would like to make. Theoretically, you may make a devak from any of the strata.

4) Step four, accidently wander into a room with the peristrata of the stratum of your choice, or ask someone who has a pendulum to find you the strata of your choice.

5) Step five, with 3 shards (maybe four) of the corresponding strata, attune the marble spectre with the spell 'mantra of the ancient tribe'. Note. Do not have more shards than needed in your inventory, for all shards may be used up.


6) Step Six, find a mob to obliterate

7) Step seven, Be outdoors, but within the vicinity of the area of interest. with the 'lodge' spell, lodge the attuned marble scepter (devak).

Step eight, proceed to obliterate the mob. Based on the type of devak you lodged in, you should witness the following effects:

[code:ijjv3qve]
Effects of an area being affected by a Devak:

Stratum Effect
------- ------
Channelling Concentration increase, spell damage is improved
Shaping Concentration increase, mana decrease
Summoning Concentration increase, duration improved,
Healing Concentration increase, healing spells heal more damage
Enhancement Concentration increase, mana decrease
Mental Concentration increase, duration increase
Necromancy Concentration increase, duration improved
[/code:ijjv3qve]

9) Step 9, upon completion of said obliteration, find your devak and dislodge it by casting, 'natures upheavel'

10) There is no step 10, this is not a 10 step program.


Notes: Once a Devak is lodged into the crust of the earth, it will start a timer, depending on your level, the duration of the devak is prolonged. If you phail to dislodge a devak within the timespan set for your level, the devak will crumble.

The effects from the devak is also based on the total levels of the character that placed it.

If i understood Splork correctly, you should be able to lodge multiple devaks, and reap the benefit.

Unknown Factors:
1) Would the devaks of Mage/Druid primes be stronger? It probably won't be.
2) If multiple people lodge similar devaks, how will they overwrite each other? They probably won't stack, that's for sure.

[Dragoth]
