Item Secrets

I have. Had a Wraith Lord armed with the Sickle Whose Crop Is Pain and other nifty stuff, as well as another one equipped to the max. An enemy Lich and his assorted backup whacked both of them and I lost a ****load of expensive equipment. Four turns later I stomped the offending nation to tiny little bits and my various support commanders got back roughly a third of the equipment that got lost (including the Sickle). I've also had it happen to me on another occasion where an equipped firbolg got hammered and then his killers stomped a few turns later.

The amount of equipment I got back was rather large given how much is usually never found in the first place.

ok that's true hehe .
but if he needs some high paths for forging/summoning too he probably won't sacrifice it but can't it use for combat any more
oh and with att 0 def 0 even pd has a chance at vanquishing him .
isn't precision also 0 when blind ?

as i said no serious mp strat but one of the most evil ways to humiliate others doing things like that
you can show them how weak they are when you can afford wasting your gems on crap like that

Idea for a new spell:


Destroys all non-artifact items the casting mage has equipped and, for every 40 gems used in their forging, increases growth scale of the province the spell is casted. I say 40 gems because forge bonuses might lead to abusing it, even though Growth needs time to have a big effect. Would not help every SC, but there would be an option.

Is this the right thread for this, or should I move this to the new spell wishlist?


Natural Balance

Thaumaturgy 5
Nature 3
25 gems

This ritual draws its power from the items the mage casting the ritual has with him. The magic used in the making of these items is released in a violent purge, reducing the items to raw materials and wild magic which is then channeled to the soil and earth of the province, increasing the harvest and blessing the lands. All items used to power this spell are totally destroyed, including cursed items but not artifacts. The effect grows with the magic power used to make the items, but the skill or the quality of the items has no effect.


Thaumaturgy (has Dispel, closest to this spell in what it is supposed to do) or Alteration (Wolven Winter, the spell closest in effect)? Is 25 gems too much?

Edi, are you sure you didn't get those items back because the enemies in question had looted them from you, and then you looted them from them when you killed them later?

Endoperez, I think that suggestion would work best in another thread.

Yes, this is how it happened. Seems I misunderstood the original question, which was asking if lost items could be found, which they of course can't.

With all this talk about finding items and making pretenders go blind (a very evil thing btw ), a few questions have popped into my mind:

1. If a commander is disintegrated, will he/she drop his/her items, or do they become dust aswell?

2. Can pretenders that don't appear to have eyes (ex: Oracle, Fountain of Blood, etc.) actually go blind?

3. Is it possible to heal lost eyes?

4. Is chlorine actually good for your eyesight (I don't think so, but I'm being told that it is by my friends)?

You have questionable 'friends'. They are full of fecal matter.
