Example : multiwatch add playerone playertwo

Description:
This is an archon skill to assist in determining if a set of players who are
connected from the same ip address are the same person. It does this by
tracking certain pieces of data which together may be taken as rather
circumstantial evidence of someone multiplaying. The definition of the numbers
are as follows:
SYNC - The number of commands entered by more than one member of an IP group
within a single 4 second period.
SPEECH - This refers to SAY commands, broken into three sections. The first
number represents the number of SAY commands done in the same room with a
player who has the same IP address. The second number represents the number of
SAY commands directed at another player. The last number is the number of SAY
commands total.
SOCIALS - These are also divided into three numbers where, again, the first is
the number of socials in the same room with a player with the same IP, the
second being socials directed at another player, and the last being the number
of total socials.
CMD - The number of commands entered which are different than the previous
command entered.
ORDER - The number of times one of the players in the group gave an ORDER to
another player in the group. A sure sign indeed.

word is spoken to the target. For instance, if the magic word is `zuy`, you

instead of SAY is important because SAY might target the wrong person or thing.

anyone.

those after the magic words.

user is capable of learning the prayer cast by the relic.

Available: Delver(5), Gypsy(3), Ranger(5), +Other Classes(1)

Use Cost : Mana (51)
Quality : Always Beneficial
Targets : Caster only
Range : Touch, or not applicable
Example :
A magic shard is a holdable item that can be used to create druidic magical
chant affects.
This skill allows one to effectively use a druidic "wand" or "staff"-like shard
or shillelagh. To invoke a shard, it must first be held. Then the magic word
is spoken to the target. For instance, if the magic word is `zuy`, you would
enter the following to invoke your shard: sayto orc zuy. Using SAYTO instead
of SAY is important because SAY might target the wrong person or thing. You
can also use SAYTO NOBODY <magic word> to make sure you aren't targeting
anyone.
If the chant on the shard requires extra parameters, then you can include those
after the casting words.
Shards generally require a small amount of mana to use, and less if the shard
user is capable of learning the chant invoked by the crystal shard.

Allows : Arcane Lore I, Rodsmithing, Wand Making
Use Cost : Mana (51)
Quality : Always Beneficial
Targets : Caster only
Range : Touch, or not applicable
Available: Almost All
Example :
A wand is a holdable item that can be used to create magical affects.
This skill allows one to effectively use an arcane wand or staff. To invoke a
wand or staff, it must first be held. Then the magic word is spoken to the
target. For instance, if the magic word is `zuy`, you would enter the
following to invoke your wand: sayto orc zuy. Using SAYTO instead of SAY is
important because SAY might target the wrong person or thing. You can also use
SAYTO NOBODY <magic word> to make sure you aren't targeting anyone.
If the spell on the wand requires extra parameters, then you can include those
after the casting words. For a wand of Summon, for instance, you might try:
say zuy cityguard.
Wands generally require a small amount of mana to use, and less if the wand
user is capable of learning the spell cast by the wand.
