Potion of Sending

[Face]

I drank one and did not get any window pop up to use the sending and now evry time i type a line i get a error saying wrong formula even after restarting the game.

So how do you actualy use the Sending potions?

And how do i get rid of this errow message?

You do a sending to end the spell...

Once you've cast the spell you have to enter a specifically formatted message as if it were speech. You can whisper it too if you don't want people listening in:

<receiver's name> Message: <message>

e.g.

Lord Farquaad Message: Dulac is under attack by ogres!

Hope that helps.

*ahem* I make sure all my customers are aware of the usage and limitations of all except the most common of purchases.
And as you may note, for the sake of public safety I even provide aftermarket service to the customers of other brewers.

I totally had not thought of this possibility. Way cool! Potions of sending

Lol Lord farquad... blatant movie shout out.

I remember when I first started brewing these. No one knew they could be made. Some even called me a fraud! (ICly of course.. Good fun )

Anyways, NeonAvenger explained it correctly. Keep in mind that if you mess up the message format, you can always send a tell. As long as you actually drink the elixir and say/whisper your message, I don' think it's an issue.

Another thing to consider is the reduced casting time. Casting a normal sending spell (it takes 6 rounds) in a desperate situation is unlikely. Not so with elixirs of sending! This makes them useful even for casters. ///end shameless plug

I remember when someone proposed "stone of sending" item to be added to the stores, and proposition was shot down because "characters shouldn't have cell phones in fantasy games". Oh well.

The supply of brewed potions is far more restricted than that of infinite shop items.... If the potions were infinitely available in shops then it would be similar.

I don't feel either way about it. I suspect (player) crafters would lose business.

Characters who can cast the spell already have cell phones. No need for a stone.
