Research is a proposed system announced by GM Armifer on 12/13/2013. Researching would allow mages to learn about magic without casting spells.

Another alternative EXP we are working on for a probable 3.1 release. Comments welcome:

Usage: RESEARCH <option>

RESEARCH is used in conjunction with the Gauge Flow spell to allow magicians to perform basic research into manipulating the mana streams. In effect, this allows experienced magicians to learn more about a skill or related group of skills without directly casting.

Unlike most actions, research actions have a customizable RT, from 10-300 seconds. Multiple research actions are combined into a research project. Once you have accumulated enough RT to meet (or exceed) the project requirement, you gain the rewards for the project.

Current projects:
Tier 0:
Fundamental Research ("FUNDAMENTAL")
Tier 1:
Augmentation Patterns Research ("AUGMENTATION")
Mana Stream Theory ("STREAM")
Sorcerous Research ("SORCERY") *
Utility Patterns Research ("UTILITY")
Warding Patterns Research ("WARDING")
Tier 2:
High Energy Spellcasting ("ENERGY") *
Mana Field Theory ("FIELD") *
Spell Research ("SPELL") *
