Basic Tricks
"The foundations are arguably the most important part of any skillset. There is no shame in revisiting them every now and then."
-- An excerpt from a lecture by Prof. Olivine.
Note: Inscribed Fragments
A fragment can be inscribed onto any item that a player can hold in their inventory. If inscribed on a block, the fragment will be removed if the block is placed.
Some items may have additional interactions when inscribed with fragments, Wands for example will cast a spell fragment when right-clicked.
Notulist's Ingress
Slot? -> Any | Void
Reads the fragment from the item in the given slot, or in the caster's offhand if no slot is given. Returns void if no fragment is inscribed.
Notulist's Ploy
Any, Slot?, String? -> Any
Inscribes a fragment onto the item in the given slot, or in the caster's offhand if no slot is given. Returns its input, after decay .
Proprietary Notulist's Ploy
Any, Slot?, String? -> Any
Same as Notulist's Ploy, but the fragment cannot be read by conventional means.
Alethophobe's Ploy
Slot? -> Void
Clears any inscribed fragment from the item in the given slot, or in the caster's offhand if no slot is given.
Showcase Ploy
Any... -> Any
Shows all given values as a chat message to the caster and returns the first.
Note: The Crow Mind
The Crow Mind, not to be confused with other black bird related minds, lets spells store and retrieve any one fragment, persistently , between casts.
This can be used for many things, such as counters, marking locations, and selecting targets.
Crow Mind Delusion
-> Any
Returns the value currently stored in the caster's crow mind.
Crow Mind Ploy
Any -> Any
Stores the supplied value in the caster's Crow Mind, overwriting any value that might already be present.
