Addressed to: Everyone


The Wheel of Fortune is now fully functional. Read HELP WHEEL for more information.

Chances to receive some of the various prizes have been adjusted. You will find the chance to get earrings and credit prizes in slightly higher. Some of the items, like the irrational note and propaganda poster have been removed.

In addition, we have added the Deck of Daegal Vonner to the wheel. Individual cards will be won on all types of spins, including the free spins.

You can learn all about this fabled deck in HELP DECK or be reading below.

-------------------

Deck of Daegal Vonner (Deck of Divine Hexes)

Daegal Vonner was once a talented scribe, devoted to the arts of book and paper crafting. Many of his contemporaries considered him to be the finest iconographers of the age. Daegal delved into his studies of the divine, as he worked his craft and many felt he was gifted with the ability to direct flows of Diachaim through his pens and ink, directly onto the pages he wrote. It is rumored that his art is found on the pages of the Tomes of Albashir.

Late in life, Daegal undertook the creation of a set of magnificent cards, to showcase his talents at what most consider to be the pinnacle of his career. Each individual card was painstakingly crafted and endowed with the powers of the divine through the potent powers of Diachaim. Many suggest that he could not have possibly been manipulating the Diachaim himself, but that the Gods worked their mysteries through him. Whatever the case, the power of the cards is now legendary and are also known as the Deck of Divine Hexes.

Commands:
---------
SHUFFLE DECK
The cards must be shuffled before they may be used. Once you shuffle a deck it will take 10 minutes before it may be used.

DRAW CARD
Drawing will randomly select a single card to be used. You may NOT use another card in the deck until the current one has been used or you decide to SHUFFLE DECK. There is a short cool-down after you draw a card before it may be used.

RUB CARD ON <player|mob|ME>
Once drawn, the cards must be activated by rubbing them on the intended target. Depending on the nature of the target, the results will vary.
