== Current Description: ==
Standing before you, is not the perfect form of Sahuagin. This young Sahuagin
is certainly not built for battle, in fact his frame is relatively average, in
both weight and stature. The first thing you notice is his silver frill growing
from the top of his head, the frill webbing running the course of his head, down
to the nape of his neck. His light blue bulbous eyes, look to you. His stare is
calculating you, something you don't expect this young sahuagin to do. Thinking
to yourself, you come to believe that he is perhaps an old soul. How does a
sahuagin age, are they like elves, and can live extended periods of time?

Coming back from deep thought, you forgot about your present company. Alfonse
smiles at you, his maw curves upward, and notice his grey whiskers over the navy
blue scales of his head. From the top of his crown and down the navy blue's
gradient lightens to a powder blue. Underneath his maw, and showing from the
top of his shirt, his chest is a perfect white. The rest of his garb is modest,
no fancy embroidery, or particulary oversized jewelery.

Alfonse says, "Have we met before?", looking at you, "You seem familiar to me."
Alfonse says, "Perhaps I've heard a tale or two, that's come from the land, and
has eventually made it to me though gossip."

Alfonse extends his webbed hand, "Either way, its a pleasure to meet you."

2013-06-20T21:04:04Z

Alfonse:

== Official Information: ==
<PRE>
STUDY LYRICAL
Syntax: STUDY

A bard can use STUDY to learn from a lyrical. A lyrical is a special
magical construct that enhances a bard's experiences and opens up new
knowledge for the bard. Since the knowledge granted from a lyrical is
magically endowed, the bard does not have permanent knowledge of the new
skill. Rather, the bard will retain the knowledge until he is killed.
Death causes lyrical magic to unravel from the mind of the bard.

Lyricals are most useful to higher level bards, and depend on the skill
level of the bard for their power. Once a lyrical is studied, it
vanishes. Lyrical skills do not increase in power from the time they are
studied.

Lyricals are very sensitive. They only endure for short periods of time
before unraveling. Only bards can handle lyricals without the lyrical
quickly decaying.

Lyricals do not save.

Lyricals are uncommon, and few know what powers they may grant.
</PRE>

==Player Provided Information==
*Before studying a lyrical, you must:
** Be at full health and mana. Be aware: Studying a lyrical drains you to 0 mana.
** Be actually holding the lyrical - it cannot be in inventory.
** It is not currently believed that studying the same lyrical twice helps in any way.
* The lyricals that you currently have studied CAN be info'ed by thieves.
 

==Lyricals==
* '''Amnesiac''': This lyrical allows you to "forget" a spell or ability that you have previously Permanently learned. (Items on your PRAC list, not your Memo list)
** Success:
** Failure: What is it that you're trying to forget? A bad date? ... unfortunately, you are unable to learn anything from the Amnesic Lyrical.
** Syntax: If you are trying to unlearn an ability, type "Study (and the name of the ability)" < EG: Study Rescue >. If the spell or ability has more than one name, do NOT use the ' ' that you would normally use to cast that spell. Do NOT "Study 'Magic Missile'" -- instead, the syntax is simply, "Study Magic Missile".
 
* '''Anticipatory'''
** Success Message: ... Hey, you knew your opponent was going to do that. Yep, that too. Cool!
** Failure Message:
** Syntax: No special Syntax used.
 
* '''Channeling:''' This lyrical appears to 'channel away' the potency of the first spell the bard is struck with in a combat.
** Success Message: ... Magic can be bent and absorbed... at least a little...
** Failure Message:
** Syntax: No special Syntax used.
Example:
Orgrim utters the words, 'fuyh'.
You manage to channel some of the power out of Orgrim's spell!
Orgrim's soul rift grazes you.
''Subsequently: Orgrim's soul rift *** ANNIHILATES *** you!''
 
* '''Efficacious:''' This lyrical reduces spell mana cost (possibly by 1/3'rd)
** Success Message: The lines of power be reinforced and strengthened.
** Failure Message:
** Syntax: No special Syntax used.
 
* '''Elevatory:'''
** Success Message: Knowledge is not set in stone, but flows forth like lava.
** Failure Message:
** Syntax: If you are trying to Elevate an ability, type "Study (and the name of the ability)" < EG: Study Dodge >. If the spell or ability has more than one name, do NOT use the ' ' that you would normally use to cast that spell. Do NOT "Study 'Magic Missile'" -- instead, the syntax is simply, "Study Magic Missile".
 
* '''Evasional:'''
** Success Message: Evasion is not just about avoiding the immediate attack, but anticipating your opponents' next several attacks, and putting yourself in the best position to avoid them.
** Failure Message: ... if only you were sufficiently learned in dodge. ... unfortunately, you are unable to learn anything from the Evasional Lyrical.
** Syntax: No special Syntax used.
** PREREQUISITE: you must have Learned Dodge prior to studying this lyrical.
 
* '''Implemental:''' This Lyrical allows the bard to use staves, scrolls, and other magely magic items.
** Success Message: You realize the secrets to employing the magely implements of power.
** Failure Message:
** Syntax: No special Syntax used.
 
* '''Jubilatory''' - This lyrical prevents the bard from attack by aggressive mobs. The bard that studies the lyrical CAN initiate combat against mobs. If other players strike the bard while under effect of the Jubilatory lyrical, they receive the same general protection from aggressive mobs, but they are unable to initiate combat against mobs. For this reason, this lyrical is sometimes called "Bardic VD."
** Success Message: This is a time of of celebration. Cast away your inhibitions.
** Failure Message:
** Syntax: No special Syntax used.
 
* '''Materialistic''' - This lyrical preserves your WORN items at death. Your INVENTORY will remain in your corpse, but any items worn by the bard will repop on them at death (Unless they are inventory-flagged items). This includes both PK and mob death. This Lyrical lasts through ONE death.
** Success Message: You feel less charitable.
** Failure Message:
** Syntax: No special Syntax used.
 
* '''Nullifying''' - This lyrical, like death, will wipe out ALL currently studied lyricals.
** Success Message:
** Failure Message:
** Syntax: No special Syntax used.
 
* '''Precisional'''
** Success Message: Precision comes from anticipation, speed, and strength.
** Failure Message:
** Syntax: No special Syntax used.
 
* '''Preservability''' - This Lyrical allows the Bard to retain the lyricals they have studied, through ONE death.
** Success Message: Sometimes, even death can be cheated... at least a little.
** Failure Message:
** Syntax: No special Syntax used.
 
* '''Pugilistic''' - This Lyrical allows the bard to use hand-to-hand martial arts. They CANNOT disarm an armed opponent while using Pugilistic skills.
** Success Message:
** Failure Message:
** Syntax: No special Syntax used.
 
* '''Quiescent''' - this Lyrical allows the bard to cast in rooms that have been Silenced.
** Success Message: Amazing is the bard that needs no noise to get the point across.
** Failure Message:
** Syntax: No special Syntax used.
 
* '''Redirectional''' - for ONE round of combat, the Redirectional Lyrical will _''very rarely''_ redirect an opponent's attack to another mob in the room. This can be a mob you are already engaged with, or one that is not in combat. The redirected attack only lasts the single round - the primary combat engaged mob does '''not''' continue to attack the secondary mob.
** Success Message: A little tap here, a nudge there, and a fleet-footed skip over thataway
** Failure Message:
** Syntax: No special Syntax used.
Example:
You have managed to redirect a Triton warrior's attack towards a sea lion!
A Triton warrior's attack is redirected towards a sea lion!
A Triton warrior's slash devastates a sea lion.
 
* '''Ripostical''' - Riposte strikes during combat
** Success Message: Sometimes, speed and finesse (and a good weapon) can win the day.
** Failure Message:
** Syntax: No special Syntax used.
 
* '''Sustenance''' : This prevents the bard from getting hungry or thirsty.
** Success Message: Knowledge is the food of life.
** Failure Message:
** Syntax: No special Syntax used.
 
* '''Undisturbingly:''' This lyrical prevents the Bard from generating ghosts from the mobs they kill.
** Success Message: You can soothe you opponents to death.
** Failure Message:
** Syntax: No special Syntax used.
 
* '''Vigilance''':
** Success Message:
** Failure Message:
** Syntax: No special Syntax used.
** SPECIAL NOTES: This lyrical has had a number of challenges with interfering with True Seeing amulets. Use with caution.

Death causes lyrical magic to unravel from the mind of the bard.

Lyricals are most useful to higher level bards, and depend on the skill
level of the bard for their power. Once a lyrical is studied, it
vanishes. Lyrical skills do not increase in power from the time they are
studied.

Lyricals are very sensitive. They only endure for short periods of time
before unraveling. Only bards can handle lyricals without the lyrical
quickly decaying.

Lyricals do not save.

Lyricals are uncommon, and few know what powers they may grant.
