Skill        :   Pollen
Class        :   Pixie
Stats Base   :   Ability / Ignore Skills Full
Cost         :   Special
Casting Time :   0
Syntax       :   do pollen add <pollen type>
                 do pollen remove <pollen type>
                 do pollen gather

Pixies enable and power their spells through the accumulation of 
pollen from a range of floral sources spread across the lands of 
Tsunami.  To do so, they must affinitize their wings to one or more 
pollens.  While affinitized to a particular pollen, the Pixie is able 
to cast a certain spell and receives certain passive bonuses (see 
"help pollen").

The pollen skill allows the Pixie to perform certain actions necessary 
to selecting and gathering pollens.

To affinitize to a specific pollen: "do pollen add <type>"
To remove a pollen affinity: "do pollen remove <type>"
To toggle gathering of pollens: "do pollen gather"

Once gathering has been toggled on, the Pixie will attempt to attract 
ambient pollen *to which it is currently affinitized* within its 
environment.  This is an automatic mechanism that executes each round 
in rooms where pollen can be found and hasn't already been collected.  
If pollen is found, the act of binding the pollen to the Pixie's wings 
will expend 5 spell points.  As the Pixie gains player levels, more
pollen will generally be able to be gathered per attempt.  Warmer, 
humid climates and warmer seasons will tend to yield more pollen per 
successful attraction.

Any room that has at least one of the folowing terrains has a chance 
to contain pollen of any type: cemetery, cultivated, farm, field, 
forest, garden, hills, jungle, mountains, plains, shore and swamp.  

When a previously-accumulated pollen type is removed from the Pixie's 
list of affinities, all pollen of that type will fall away from the
Pixie (i.e. the count immediately drops to zero).

Please note: pollen is NOT expended to cast spells.  Once the Pixie has 
attracted a pollen quantity, it remains until he or she might decide to 
remove their wings' affinity to it.
