Glyph info request

[nobody]

The ARCANA command (or GLYPHS or OCCULT or DRAW OCCULT) now lists all known diagram components (bases/separator shapes/glyphs) along with their complexity levels, and tells how much arcane mental capacity a character has (max and currently-used).

I'd like to request that the arcana, glyphs, or occult commands be tweaked just a bit to allow one to use the glyph name to determine the duration and effect details. For example,

Code: Select all

arcana uyto

Information on Glyph 'uyto' (soundpulling):

When under the effect of the `uyto` glyph's power, local sounds will be pulled toward your ears, making it easier to hear and pick up on quieter things. Particularly useful if you wish to do some eavesdropping.
OOC description: (The ability to hear whispers of people in the same room, eavesdrop on adjacent rooms, and grants a small Perception bonus.)
Usage: draw the glyph as part of an occult diagram. Use the eavesdrop command to listen to an adjacent room. Other effects are passive.
Energy usage: -10
Prerequisite Abilities:
Occult Diagrams

Your Duration: N (X minutes Y seconds)

I think it is presently possible to obtain this information only by attempting to study a glyph-teaching object. Presently arcana uyto would return the same output as arcana by itself (showing known glyphs and capacity).

Great idea! This is now a thing.
