Looking through the Arms and EQ Guide, I came across the calculus. An oversized, two-handed sling that gnomes use to fling flasks of liquids such as alchemist's fire and acid. This brings me to my question/proposition.
In the Arms and EQ Guide it mentions that sling bullets (which include flasks and such) and arrows can be enchanted with properties like lightning, fire, acid, blah blah blah and I was wondering if it could be done with the current code.
If it isn't, could it be feasible to add this to the arrow/bullet code?

Arrows and bullets
I have found that something in the current code will not allow APPLY_WEAPONSPELL flags to work when applied to a projectile.
There are probably ways to use progs to simulate a magical or energy-based projectile using an oject that it not actually a "projectile". I used a similar trick to make a signal arrow, that is not actually an "arrow" in code.
However, another thing to consider is that something like a "maltov cocktail" potion flask that could be sling launched would essentially be putting a ranged area effect spell attack in the hands of a non-spellcasting class. While games like Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights have magical projectiles aplenty, in the perspective of FK, where warriors in many cases don't even need a spellcaster in a party as it is, it could create a balance issue to have mega-projectiles that they could make use of as well.
Not to say it couldn't be done, but most magical weapons in FK are made hard to get and rare, like a quest reward or somesuch, something of the effect you describe would chances are not be openly available for purchase.
