Talk:Spell preparation

This one needs a lot of help filling out. So many preps, and with new feats, some have mechanical advantages while others don't. I'd like to separate into 3 (maybe 4 or 5) tables,One for Basic, Illusory, Silent. I'm not sure what others only require the Alternate Prep feat (Moon Mage sect preps, do they require a second feat?) or what feats may be added in the future. I can code up the format, but I don't know which preps are what types. --Leito 06:09, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

New spell preparations

Here is the list from the Premie spell prep vendor with the new updates:

  1) [alternate] You giggle to yourself as you move through the syncopated gestures that accompany the preparations of the Summon Death Monkey spell.
  2) [alternate] Darkly gleaming motes of sanguine light swirl briefly about your fingertips as you gesture while uttering the Summon Death Monkey spell.
  3) [alternate] A soft breeze surrounds your body as you confidently prepare the Summon Death Monkey spell.
  4) [alternate] You bring your hand slowly to your forehead as you begin chanting the words of the Summon Death Monkey spell.
  5) [alternate] You rock back and forth, humming tunelessly as you invoke the Summon Death Monkey spell.
  6) [silent] Entering a trance-like state, your hands begin to tremble as you prepare the Summon Death Monkey spell.
  7) [alternate] You trace an intricate rune in the air with your finger, illusory lines lingering several seconds as you prepare the Summon Death Monkey spell.
  8) [alternate] You take up a handful of dirt in your palm to prepare the Summon Death Monkey spell.  As you whisper arcane words, you gently blow the dust away and watch as it becomes swirling motes of glittering light that veil your hands in a pale aura.
  9) [alternate] You begin reciting a solemn incantation, causing familiar patterns of geometric shapes to circle your hand as the Summon Death Monkey spell forms.
 10) [alternate] You adeptly sing the incantations for the Summon Death Monkey spell, setting the words to a favorite tune.
 11) [alternate] You steeple your fingers together and mutter an arcane phrase to invoke the Summon Death Monkey spell.
 12) [silent] Closing your eyes and concentrating intensely on the task at hand, you pore all your focus into the formulation of the Summon Death Monkey spell.
 13) [silent] Eschewing motions and sound, you painstakingly focus your mind solely on creating the Summon Death Monkey spell pattern.
 14) [alternate] You perform a complex rotation of detailed gestures as you softly chant an invocation for the Summon Death Monkey spell.
 15) [silent] You feel a tension build up in your body as you bend your mind to preparing the Summon Death Monkey spell. 
 16) [alternate] You slowly crack your knuckles, focusing on the Summon Death Monkey pattern.
 17) [silent] You raise your hand commandingly, bending your mind to preparing the Summon Death Monkey spell.

I've added these to the tables, as well as done some reorganization to catch us up to some updates with the feats required. I will add the new spell library ones as well once I manage to catch the mage when he's there.--ABSOLON (talk) 02:45, 26 December 2015 (CST)

obsolete legacy preps

Not sure there is really anywhere to put this, I don't think you can pick it up anywhere and it's one of the ones that can't actually be used anymore (yea, yea, I need to ditch it still), but it might be nice for archival to have a section or separate page for ones like this and others that get phased out in the future:

• You clap your hands together on a mote of energy, causing a shower of sparks to fly forth. Slowly pulling your hands back apart, a glowing ball of crackling energy begins growing between them, ready to pour power into the form of the Summon Death Monkey spell.

(here's the archive post from tinyheroes where Armifer crushes hope about it having a chance at use) --Kythryn 19:32, 27 December 2015 (CST)
