There are three distinct domination spells, with some common rules and
guidelines:
* This spell will ALWAYS fail if cast on another PC; its use in this manner
can only be roleplayed by mutual consent, without code support.
* DO NOT CAST THIS SPELL ON THE MOUNT OR PET OF ANOTHER PC! (Doing so will
cause the owner to permanently lose ownership of the pet. Such attempts
SHOULD always fail, but please don't tempt fate.)
* This spell/skill is logged because it is subject to abuse. If you are
using the skill/spell to gain too many items you will lose the skill. Please
show some responsbility when using this skill/spell. It is also expected that
you roleplay its usage. Using it over and over and over again is considered
to be extremely poor roleplay. Use of the spell to abuse areas or bypass
restrictions on areas such as guilds, temples etc. can be subject to both IC
and OOC punishments.
A dominate spell, if successful, will place the victim (it only works on
mobs) under your total control for an extended duration. While under your
control the creature is your servant, and may assist you in combat and other
more minor duties. Use the 'order' command to give them orders.
*In order to command a dominated creature, you must speak in a language they
understand.
*Each domination spell only affects creatures of a given type. Attempting to
cast such a spell on the wrong type of creature will always fail, returning
the echo "So-n-so seems to shake off the affects of your spell."
* Some mobs are completely immune to domination (mostly important guards,
shopkeepers, and trainers)
* Aggressive mobs will lose their aggressiveness while dominated, but will
immediately return to their violent ways when the spell wears off.
* Dominated victims will retain their memories of what happened when they
were charmed: if you influence them to an illegal activity, an otherwise
law-abiding citizen will report it to the authorities once the spell wears
off.
* This family of spells cannot be cast by an invoker
