----------------------------------------------------------------------- Spell : Acclimate Class : Pixie Cost : 20 (non-adjustable) Pollen Used : Bluebell Casting Time : 1 Syntax : cast acclimate <damage type> [<target>] Examples : cast acclimate slash cast acclimate pierce brightman In order to more effectively infiltrate the realms of Men, the Mother has granted the Pixies the means by which to acclimate themselves to the dangers of the Defilers' domains. Using bluebell pollen, the Pixie is able to instill itself or an ally with resistance to a given form of injury. Only certain damage types are a valid choice for the spell (see list below). This protection will, obviously, reduce the damage taken by the target of the type chosen. A recipient's acclimation may be refreshed by casting acclimate on him or her before the effect expires. When doing so, a new damage type may be chosen. If a new damage type is chosen, any existing bonuses accrued via the synergies listed below will be converted and transferred to the new damage type instead. VALID DAMAGE TYPES: acid, bite, blunt, bow, brawling, claw, cleave, cold, fire, general, pierce, poison, shock, slash, stinger, unarmed >>> POLLEN SYNERGIES <<< HEATHER The damage resistance to the chosen type increases gradually as more and more combat strikes of that type are attempted against the recipient (up to a certain maximum). SNAPDRAGON Incoming combat strikes of the chosen damage type, within a given terrain (the terrain types of the current room), will gradually increase the acclimate recipient's terrain bonus for that terrain over time (up to a certain maximum). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- See also: help pollen
