Description
Introduced at Guildfest 423, scroll stackers allow users to (PUSH MY <STACKER> WITH MY <SCROLL>) in order to scribe multiple copies of a number of different spell scrolls into them. The scroll being scribed is destroyed in the process. Each copy can later be retrieved using (PULL MY <STACKER>) after it has been TURNed to a section. The stacker can be sorted alphabetically with ADJUST MY <STACKER>. Spell scrolls inside can be listed with FLIP MY <STACKER>, but be aware that this will close the stacker and disallow using PUSH and PULL to remove scrolls or insert new scrolls until it is opened again.
Also, a common mistake is to put scrolls into the stacker. This will only store the scrolls as in any container, it will not stack them.
STUDYing your scroll stacker will reveal its capacity and whether or not it is a custom paper stacker.
Capacity
Different scroll stackers have different capacities. Standard festival shop stackers have 20 spell sections capable of holding up to 10 copies of a spell. Capacities for limited items are higher, with GM Auction scroll stackers having 50 spell sections capable of holding 50 copies each.
| Stacker | Sections | Copies |
|---|---|---|
| auction | 50 | 50 |
| MT end loot | 40 | 125 |
| MT incidental | 30 | 20 |
| merchant | 20 | 10 |
Custom paper
Some stackers allow for custom paper options which mean that when PULLed, you will get a <PAPER> SCROLL. To change the type of paper that a custom paper scroll stacker uses, PUSH MY <STACKER> WITH MY PAPER when holding a different type of paper.
Container
Scroll stackers are also containers capable of holding items. Standard ones sold at festivals have a capacity of 6 length x 3 width x 3 height x 60 stones. You can LOOK IN, RUMMAGE or INVENTORY the stacker to view its contents.
Troubleshooting tips
- If you CLOSE and OPEN the stacker it will return to the first page. This is useful if you aren't able to get back to the first page with TURN.
- The stacker is also a container. If you find your scroll "missing", try LOOK IN <STACKER> as you might have PUT your scroll in the container instead of PUSH <STACKER> WITH <SCROLL>
Verbs
- STUDY:
- Examining the <stacker>, you're pretty sure you can OPEN, CLOSE, READ, LOOK, TURN, ADJUST, PUSH, PULL, and FLIP.
- Your <stacker> currently has <#> spell sections and allows for <#> copies of each.
- Your <stacker> allows for custom paper on <stacker>.
- Your <stacker> is currently configured to use <paper> for scrolls. To change this, you can PUSH your <stacker> with a different PAPER.
- SYNTAX:
- PUSH manuscript with (SCROLL) - Adds the scroll
- PUSH manuscript with (PAPER) - Changes paper of scroll
- TURN MY manuscript - Selects next spell scroll in order
- TURN MY manuscript to (SPELL) - Selects specific spell scroll
- PULL MY manuscript - Produces the selected spell scroll
- ADJUST MY manuscript - Sorts the manuscript alphabetically
- FLIP MY manuscript - Displays all scrolls stored
- READ (when closed): The <stacker> is closed.
- READ (when open to an empty section): This section is empty.
- READ (when open to an empty section - folio with contents): There's nothing in this section, but you may have spells on other sections. You can TURN <stacker> to check another section.
- READ (when open to a spell section): The <stacker> is open to the <spell name> section. There is <number>"" copy/copies of the spell left. You can PULL <stacker> to remove the/a copy.
- LOOK: Provides the same results as READ but also shows the scroll stacker's long description.
- LOOK IN <STACKER>: [now (see discussion)] reveals items contained within.
- TURN (when closed): Turning your <stacker> vertical, you flip through the pages rapidly, glancing at the contents without really seeing what's there. [If you're trying to TURN to another section, you need to OPEN your <stacker> first.]
- TURN (when open): You turn to a new section in your <stacker>.
- ADJUST: Taking a few moments, you shuffle through the <stacker>, adjusting several items to bring the pages of documentation into some kind of order.
- PUSH (when closed): You tap your finger against your <stacker> pensively. [If you're trying to add something to your <stacker>, you need to open the <stacker> first.]
- PUSH (when open): What are you trying to push into your <stacker>? [SYNTAX: PUSH <stacker> WITH (SCROLL|PAPER)]
- PUSH (with unread scroll): Realizing that the scroll is not labelled, you stop, unsure of where to add the spell in.
- PUSH (with un-sectioned scroll): Not finding a matching section, you flip to an empty section, and after labeling it, you copy in the spell. Your scroll crumbles to dust afterward.
- PUSH (with sectioned scroll): Flipping through the tome, you find room in a matching section, and copy in the spell. Your scroll crumbles to dust afterward.
- PULL (when closed): You pull at the binding on your <stacker>. [If you're trying to remove a scroll, you need to open the FOLIO first.]
- PULL (when open to an empty section): This section is empty.
- PULL (when open to a spell section - multiple copies): Carefully, you remove a copy of the spell from your <stacker>.
- PULL (when open to a spell section - last copy): This was the last copy in that section. You erase the section from your <stacker>.
- FLIP:
- You flip through the <stacker>, checking each section before closing it.
- The <spell> section has 1 copy available.
