Elemental Item Enchant



Asked: 2000.10.31
Name: Ad Avis
Question Title: Elemental Item Enchant
Category: Magic
Question: If memory serves, the reason cited that an item spell that changes a weapon to an element (such as Imbue Acid) is not implemented is b/c it isn't feasable to dynamically add the particle affects to an existing weapon. Is this stil the case? Would it be possible to utilze the same "tech trick" used in Atlans (deleting the old object and creating a new elemental version)? I realize that this would be a very powerfull spell, but it is something that I think would really add some spice. (I'd bring my dagger warrior out of retirement is I could make the Gerarth burts into flames)

Answer: Nope, it's still not feasible for the same reasons.
