The Teradrim of Aetolia

Syntax: EARTH FORM
EARTH PETRIFY <club>

Creates an earthen flail, that you may use to crush your foes. Unlike flails formed of metal, it will not be as durable and will possess inferior quality, however it can serve well in a pinch.

You can additionally petrify "a steel-banded club" item, turning it into a suitable stone war club.

Syntax: EARTH ABSORB

Call upon the earth to cleanse yourself of a random affliction. Should you be standing underground or in a flood of sand, then you will remove an extra affliction.

Cooldown: 15 seconds

Syntax: EARTH STONEBIND

By binding your weapon in stone, its earthen properties will extend and envelop your arms in a sheet of granite - both preventing you from being disarmed and allowing you to make use of it with a single crippled arm.

Note that although you will be able to attack with a single crippled arm, it will inflict a penalty on the speed of your flail attacks if you choose to do so.

Syntax: EARTH SUREFOOTED

The earth will now grant you passage, allowing you to move with increased celerity for a limited time as long as you stand upon the ground.

Syntax: EARTH ENTWINE

Entwine your hands with earthen magic so that, when you parry an opponent's blow, you can touch their weapon in response and fill it with the weight of the earth.

This weight will disarm your opponent if they cannot hold onto their weapon, otherwise there is a small chance it will cripple their arm under its weight.

Syntax: EARTH STONEBLAST <target>

Releasing a volley of stone fragments will allow you to shatter the aura of rebounding or a magical shield upon your target. Should they be protected by neither, then you will strip a random defence instead at an increased balance cost.

Resonating with the might of the earth will grant you a bonus to your health and mana regeneration, providing you remain upon the ground.

Syntax: EARTH FOOTFEEL

As a master of the earth, it is a simple task to check for those enter into its embrace through the vibrations in the rock. This ability will allow you to passively sense if an adventurer enters into the ground below through any means in your current area. You must be upon the ground to feel the vibrations.

Syntax: EARTH IMBUE STONEFURY

You may perform this ability in the following earthen environments:
Mountain, Hills, Desert, Natural underground, Constructed underground, Mines, Lifeless sands, Cavern, Crater, Canyon.

There is also a small chance one of the rocks will upset the balance of a person it strikes.

If you are indoors, then it will become harder to escape the swarm of rocks and the damage will be increased.

Syntax: EARTH MERGE
EARTH SHIFT <dir>
EARTH EMERGE

Merge into the earth, taking you below ground. While buried within the earth, you can shift around to travel, and emerge again when ready.

Syntax: EARTH QUAKE

The earth will shake with your very presence, damaging anyone in your location who is unlucky enough to have fallen upon the ground. This damage is further amplified by the amount body part damage inflicted upon the victim.

Syntax: EARTH IMBUE EROSION

By imbuing your flail with the force of the desert, each strike has half a chance to increase the strength of your sandstorm in your location by one level. You can read AB DESICCATION SANDSTORM for more information.

Syntax: EARTH INSCRIBE <minor rune> UPON <major rune>

Major rune: 2 inks
Minor rune: 1 ink

You may now etch ancient runes upon yourself, granting you a number of bonuses. The first rune etched is known as the minor rune, and is etched upon a major rune. Depending on the colors used, a number of effects will occur.

For purple inks, the same syntax is used, but as long as the purple ink remains in the slot it was originally painted in no equilibrium loss will be incurred.

Syntax: EARTH PASS <target>

While buried within the earth, you may travel to your target anywhere on the continent after a short delay. Should there be a monolith or should either of you stand in a non-earthen location, then the delay will become somewhat longer.

Earthen environments include:
Mountains, hills, desert, natural underground, constructed underground, mines, lifeless sand, caverns, craters, and canyons.

Syntax: EARTH CHASM <target>

You may draw upon the earth itself to devour your victim, slaying them instantly after a channelled delay. While opening the chasm will require your full attention, there is a small chance that it will expand to an extra two enemies within your location, slaying them as well if the action is completed.

Syntax: EARTH IMPALE <target>
WITHDRAW STALAGMITE

You may draw upon the earth with your flail to provide a massive stalagmite, allowing you to impale a prone target upon its end. You may withdraw the stalagmite to free them if you so choose.

Syntax: EARTH RICOCHET

You may swing your weapon with such force and precision that parried blows will sometimes bounce from your target's weapon, crippling a random limb and delivering a small stun to the unfortunate victim.

You have a chance to lose your concentration with each ricochet, causing the defence to fade.

Syntax: EARTH STONEVICE

Should your victim remain impaled upon your stalagmite, you may cause the earth to explode - shredding their gut and dealing both magical damage and asphyxiation damage at once.

The rock shrapnel will also inflict light and deep wounds upon their body, and cause trauma to their torso.

Cooldown: 60 seconds

Syntax: PREPARE EARTHENWILL [imprint action]

Imbue your golem with the will to deliver a blow of choice against your target when you next land a successful attack with your flail. If you do not select a choice of attack, then it will choose on its own.

Cooldown (when triggered): 15 seconds

Syntax: EARTH SHOCKWAVE <target>

You may send a ripple through the earth itself, crippling any limb with bruising on your unfortunate foe, to a maximum of three, and leave them fallen. Should they lack levitation, then it will cripple three random limbs regardless of bruising state.

If they are affected by the quicksand affliction, then it will wear off if struck by Shockwave two times during its duration.

Please AB DESICCATION QUICKSAND for more information.

Syntax: EARTH EARTHENMAW

Call upon the earth to open its maw wide, thrusting forth stalagmites of stone to impale any enemy of yours in your location or adjacent that is prone.

If they remain impaled for more then five seconds and stand upon soft ground, then they will be dragged into the earth below. They will need to BURROW ABOVE in order to escape.

Syntax: EARTH UNDEATH <target>

Through choice and voluntary sacrifice, one may shed the coils of mortality and embrace the Gift given by the Earthen Father. What was left of the weak mortal body will be left behind, embraced into a new form helped to be shaped by the Earth itself. In making this choice, one will no longer visit Lord Dhar's realm through death, but rely upon the earth for reshaping.

The purification process must be done within Ivoln's temple, before His shrine, where Earthcaller Khuzrol resides.

This skill requires you to be a part of the Apostle guild, or to be sanctioned by the guild, in order to successfully use. You are able to use this while you are in a different class, providing that you maintain ownership over this skill.

Syntax: EARTHENFORM EMBRACE
EARTHENFORM RELEASE
DESCRIBE EARTHENFORM SELF <description>

Syntax: EARTH BATTER <target> [body part]

Grasping your flail, you may batter your foe in quick succession and deal damage to them.

If you so choose, you may aim for a specific body part in the hopes of causing trauma to an adventurer. You may aim for the head, the torso, an arm, or a leg.

Syntax: EARTH SLAM <target> <LEFT|RIGHT> <ARM|LEG>

By whirling your weapon in a wide arc, you can batter your target's limbs with a powerful blow - causing limb damage and inflicting surface trauma in the form of bruises.

Syntax: EARTH FACESMASH <target>

A heavy blow to the head with your flail will both cause vicious damage to your victim and inflict surface trauma in the form of bruises.

This mighty blow to the torso with your flail will not only harm your foe, but inflict trauma in form of bruises in the process.

Syntax: EARTH FRACTURE <target> <LEFT|RIGHT> <ARM|LEG>

In a moment of furor, bring your flail crashing down upon an opponent twice, attacking two body parts of your choice and dealing damage to them. You may not target the same body part twice.

You can only target the arms or legs with this ability. For example, you could target the left leg and right arm.

Syntax: EARTH BARRAGE <target>

A slow but powerful barrage upon your foe. This will strike your opponent three times with your flail, battering random limbs in a chaotic fashion, although each landed hit will be slightly weaker. It will not strike the same limb more than once.

Syntax: EARTH SKULLBASH <target>

This slow but powerful blow to the head will deal hefty damage to the opponent with your flail.

Against adventurers, it will cause trauma to their skull and deal an increasing number of afflictions dependent on the bruising currently inflicted to the head. Each effect is cumulative.

No bruising: Amnesia.
Minor bruising: Whiplash.
Moderate bruising: Indifference.
Severe bruising: Smashed throat.

Syntax: EARTH HAMMER <target>

Generate a massive cascade of stone to form an earthen maul, bringing it down upon your victim in an attempt to end their life. Your victim must possess at least three body parts with moderate bruising or more to be successful, otherwise it will have little effect.

Syntax: GOLEM ANIMATE

You are now capable of animating a great golem from earthen materials, binding it to your will. In order to do this you must first collect five pieces of clay from the land, which can be collected by digging in a Swamp or a Wetland environment.

You can view HELP LOYALTY for more information on how to command it.

Syntax: GOLEM <command> [...]

Instruct commands to your golem, even remotely from a distance if you so choose. Each command will do something different and is explained below.

Info - GOLEM INFO [ITEMS]: Learn about the state of your golem.

Syntax: GOLEM IMPRINT <ability>
GOLEM REFLEX <ability> <ON|OFF>
GOLEM IMPRINTS

You may infuse your golem with a lasting mental imprint, allowing them to recognize when they should perform certain attacks.

When a golem is ready to attack and has been ordered to fight, they will go down their list of imprints in sequential order, using the first ability that they are capable of doing. To take advantage of this, it is wise to place imprints that you wish to prioritize before later ones. Generally speaking, abilities with no or few conditions should be the last on the list. If the golem is unable to attack with an ability imprinted upon it, it will default to the Strike ability.

They may also be given reflexes, which will cause your golem to immediately act when a situation presents itself. However, each reflex beyond the first will slow down how often your golem attacks slightly.

Syntax: GOLEM ERASURE [ALL]

In a single thought, you may erase all imprints from your golem. Should you specify ALL, reflexes will also be forgotten.

Syntax: GOLEM MOVE <direction>

You may command your golem to move about independent of your actions. You may even command it remotely.

Syntax: GOLEM PAINT <color>

You may paint your golem in a variety of coloured inks, enhancing its abilities.

Red ink:
Each strike has a 33% chance to ignite the foe and deal extra fire damage.

Blue ink:
Each strike has a 33% chance to freeze the foe and deal extra cold damage.

Yellow ink:
Your servant will regenerate health much more quickly, and you will be granted a minor bonus when using health elixirs.

Green ink:
Every third hit, your flail will deliver the loki venom to your opponent.

Purple ink:
A golem infused with purple paint will receive no penalty to their attack speed for the first three reflexes they are trained to perform, and they gain an extra slot for their vigilance ability.

A golem may only be painted with one ink at a time, and any new inks will replace the previous.

Syntax: GOLEM LISTEN <ON|OFF>

Your golem will continually report anything said within their location, should you not be present.

Syntax: GOLEM ESCAPE HERE

You may specify a location for your golem to escape to, should they fall below 25% of their maximum health.

Syntax: GOLEM GLANCE

At a minor cost to equilibrium, you may envision whatever your golem can see.

Syntax: GOLEM PRIORITY <ability>

This command allows you to specify an ability for your golem to use when next available, regardless of your imprint order. The ability must still meet the specified requirements in order to activate, otherwise it will perform like normal.

Priority requires balance to set and consumes a very small amount of equilibrium.

Syntax: GOLEM RECOVER

By lending mental power to your golem, you will cause them to instantly regenerate a portion of their life. This ability consumes a moderate amount of equilibrium, but may be done off balance.

Syntax: GOLEM SAY <sentence>
GOLEM EMOTE <string>

You are now linked to your golem's thoughts, allowing you to control their speech and actions. This can be performed even at a distance.

Syntax: GOLEM MEMORY SWITCH <1|2|3>

Your golem is now capable of storing their memory of imprints and reflexes, allowing you to switch between three distinct plans of action.

Syntax: GOLEM SERVANT <ON|OFF>

You may order your golem to fetch the body of any kills that you make.

Usage: GOLEM INTERTWINE <colour>

You can now paint a second ink upon your golem, allowing it to receive two Earthpaint benefits at once.

Syntax: GOLEM TWINSOUL <ON|OFF>

You may bind your body to your golem, allowing you to share a portion of each other's damage. Should your golem die, however, you will find yourself suffering heavily - taking a heavy amount of damage and receiving a significant stun.

Syntax: GOLEM VIGILANCE <ability> [ability2]

Your golem is now so well-trained that they may be taught to specifically hone their reflexes on a single chosen task. This reflex will become innate to them with no penalty to attack speed, and will, in some cases, bolster its capabilities in that task.

There is a significant cooldown upon changing this effect however, so make sure you choose wisely.

Some of the bolstered effects include:
CORNER - Increases your own ability to dodge by 3%.
AIRGUARD - Arrows will be reflected, chance to deflect increased.
RATTLE - Increases damage and balance loss on hit.
FEND - Increases resistance to all forms of damage.
PROP - Will proc 100% of the time.
SHAKE - Chance increased and golem also causes amnesia on hit.
STEADFAST - Attempts to move allies have a chance to fail.

You do not need the reflex to be imprinted in order to gain the benefits. It will be enabled automatically regardless of your imprinted selections.

A golem can normally only have a single vigilance, unless it has been painted with purple earthpaint which grants a second.

Cooldown: 1 hour

Imprinted ability.

Your golem will strike any foe they are capable of, directly dealing blunt damage.

Imprinted ability.

Should your target possess bruising upon the torso, your golem will take advantage with a powerful blow to the chest that causes an arrhythmia and will briefly stun them.

If the target is the process of forming an aura of rebounding, then the punch will disrupt the aura from congealing into a fully fledged defence against weapons.

Imprinted ability.

Your golem will attempt to wrench a prone opponent's limbs, crippling one in the process. If all limbs are crippled, then it will cause trauma to the torso instead.

Imprinted ability.

Your golem is not only capable of physical punishment - should it sense an opponent with a mangled torso, it will send a wave of psychic force through their mind, inflicting psychic damage, and causing both paresis and an arrhythmia.

Imprinted ability.

An opponent afflicted with a broken head will earn a powerful shout from the golem, shaking their vision and leaving them with blurry sight.

Imprinted ability.

If your opponent attempts to hide behind a magical shield, your golem will lurch forward with a powerful blow that will shatter it.

Imprinted ability.

A prone victim with a broken torso is an ideal target for a golem to pin, powerfully holding them grappled until they writhe free from its grasp.

Cooldown: 14 seconds

Imprinted ability.
Syntax: GOLEM IMPRINT PUMMEL <1-80%>

This unique ability requires a little extra information in order to be imprinted upon your golem.

When your opponent's health falls below the specified threshold, your golem will lash out and deliver a powerful blow that stuns your opponent. This imprint will be placed on cooldown for a short time after it is utilised by your golem.

Cooldown: 60 seconds

Imprinted ability.

Should your victim be prone and experiencing moderate bruising upon the head, your golem will attempt to squeeze the life from them - causing asphyxiation damage and inducing a blackout. This imprint will be placed on cooldown for a short time after it is utilised by your golem.

Cooldown: 30 seconds

Imprinted ability.

To imprint: GOLEM IMPRINT WRENCH [<LEFT|RIGHT> <ARM|LEG>]
This unique ability requires a little extra information in order to be imprinted upon your golem.

Should your golem spot moderate bruising upon the limb you have most recently struck, their next blow will dislocate the limb's joint. If left uncured, it will eventually cause the limb to collapse and become broken.

By default your golem has only a 33% chance it will attempt to wrench a limb even when its conditions are met, however if it attempts to wrench the exact limb that you have specified in your imprint, then the chance is guaranteed instead.

Your golem cannot wrench a limb that is already broken or dislocated, neither will it work on the head or torso.

Reflex ability.

Enemies who attempt to fly away or swing into the trees will occasionally be met with a forceful shove to the ground, accompanied by a loss of levitation.

Reflex ability.

Your golem will attempt to corner the target it has been ordered to attack, granting a chance to prevent them from dodging. They will still be able to divert however.

Reflex ability.

Your golem will maintain a stance at your front, making it difficult for others to strike you. This will reduce the damage you take from blunt and cutting based attacks.

Reflex ability.

Your golem will watch out for incoming projectiles, blocking them with its bulk should the chance arise.

Reflex ability.

When your opponent manages to parry your blows, your golem will lash out in response - unbalancing your foe and removing their parry.

Cooldown: 10 seconds

Reflex ability.

Your golem will attempt to keep you standing against all odds - should you be knocked to the ground by an active attack, your golem will have a chance to pick you back up. This ability will fail if either of your legs are crippled.

Reflex ability.

A golem that focuses on cycling their attacks will never repeat the same attack twice, unless no other conditions are met in their imprint list.

Reflex ability.

Your golem will watch your opponent carefully, spotting attempts to consume curative pills or use a pipe, and granting a chance to knock them away. This will only be effective against the target you ordered your golem to kill.

Reflex ability.

When an enemy attempts to leave your location with bruising to one of their legs, your golem will knock them to the ground and cripple that leg, preventing their escape.

Reflex ability.

Your golem will protect you from being moved against your will against all costs, even against magical effects. Only by choice will your golem allow you to move.

Syntax: SAND SCOUR

Scour yourself with procured sand, cleansing away any foul smells or drying away wet skin.

Syntax: SAND FLOOD
SAND RELEASE [HERE]
SAND LIST

Summon forth a layer of dry desert sand in your location, allowing you to make full use of your many abilities that require it. Each location that you layer in sand will require a constant upkeep of willpower in order to maintain and prevent blowing away, except for your first.

Releasing your sand will disperse any remote sands you control, except for any in your current room. SAND RELEASE HERE will disperse only the sand in your room.

Syntax: SAND WALK <direction>

If both your current and an adjacent location are covered in summoned sand, you may move between them, destroying any walls that may be in your path.

Syntax: SAND SURGE <direction>

So long as you stand upon sand that you have summoned, you may spread it in a adjacent location of your choice. Any barriers such as walls or doors will prevent you from spreading forth your sand.

Cause your opponent to sink slightly into the ground, delaying their movement. This will last until they either leave the location or the effect expires.

Cooldown: 20 seconds

See all those who currently stand within your sand domain, including their location.

This ability is passive.

You will regenerate a small portion of both endurance and willpower while standing in a location with your sand.

Syntax: SAND RUMINATE

In a state much like meditation, this ability draws on the powers of your sand to restore willpower in great amounts. The amount of willpower restored will increase significantly as the process continues.

Syntax: SAND STORM [RELEASE]

By standing within a location with summoned sand, you may stir it into the skies around you generating one of the main tools of the Teradrim; the sand storm. The sand storm will follow you should you move, and will act as dry sand for skills that require it.

Once summoned, the storm will periodically deal bleeding damage to your enemies, depending on the strength of the storm. The storm will increase by one level every four seconds you stand upon summoned sand. If you are not standing upon sand, the time is doubled instead.

There are five levels of sandstorm - once your sandstorm is at its maximum strength, you may use a number of sand abilities (listed in AB DESICCATION) free of equilibrium. However, this will reduce the sandstorm by two levels to do so.

Slice is an exception to this rule, and may be used at sandstorm level moderate or higher instead, providing your target is in the same location as you.

Levels:
-------
scarce
light
moderate
severe
massive

To do this, append 'storm' to the end of the command for your attack. e.g. SAND WHIP <target> STORM. You can also optionally include a storm level, to prevent the ability form being cast if your sandstorm isn't at that level. e.g. SAND SLICE <target> STORM MASSIVE.

Syntax: SAND CONCEAL <ON|OFF>

While in a location with dry sand, your movement will be masked to any but allies.

Shred the skin of enemies within the local area who stands within magically summoned sand. This will deal damage and cause some bleeding.

Syntax: SAND SIMOON <target>

Lift your summoned sand within the location into your sandstorm and send it slowly towards a target in the form of a simoon. This will spread sand in each room along its path, until it meets the target or is unable to continue.

The simoon may travel four rooms for every level of strength your sandstorm possesses.

Syntax: SAND DISTORT

While this defence is active upon your summoned sand, none within the room may be tracked by the Scent (racial) or Track (Lycanthropy) abilities. This has a small willpower cost to maintain.

Syntax: SAND SHIELD <target>

With a flick of your wrist, you may form a glass barrier that functions as a shield upon your target.

Syntax: SAND SWELTER <ON|OFF>

This ability is passive.

Your sandstorm is now merciless against battered foes - enemies who are prone will take double damage from the storm's fury.

Syntax: SAND DESERT

In one grand gesture, you can not only flood your room with sand, but adjacent rooms that are unobstructed as well.

Syntax: SAND WHIRL

In a quick motion, you can pull your own sand around you up into your sandstorm, removing the sand flood from your location but empowering your sandstorm instantly to a severe level. If your sandstorm is already severe or massive, the sand will have no effect.

Syntax: SAND SPIRE <ally>
Requires you to be standing within a location with dry sand.

Command your sand to rise up and protect your ally's limbs in a spire of hardened sand. As such, the next two times their limbs would be crippled, it will be resisted instead.

Syntax: SAND MELD

You can surround yourself in a powerful barrier of sand, consuming the sand within your location but rendering you immune to most forms of attack.

Syntax: SAND PILLAR

By forming a pillar of sand, you can greatly extend the range of your abilities, allowing you to use any sand ability that may be used in tandem with Projection on any target within your local area who stands within summoned sand.

Requires you to be standing within a location with dry sand.

Shred your target with a powerful blast of sand, causing damage to a limb of choice.

You may choose from the head, torso, or either arm/leg.

Syntax: SAND CURSE <target>
Requires you to be standing within a location with dry sand.

Let the desert drain life giving fluids from the unworthy. Plague your foe with the curse of sand, coating them in a layer of dry earth that absorbs all liquids before they reach their skin.

This will give the slough affliction, causing poultices to become ineffective. The affliction will fade naturally after a number of seconds if not cured normally.

Syntax: SAND QUICKSAND <target>

If your target is prone, you can surround them with a sinking quicksand. Their levitation will be stripped, and they will be unable to put the levitation back up until a short time has passed, or they move to a location without sand.
