! Details
| The art of sketching other creatures and players is a very powerful one, as it allows you to bind
their essence to the drawing, and later use it under your control to attack others.
Initially, you are only capable of sketching mobiles. As you study more about Artistry, you will
learn how to sketch players of various magickal professions, and to utilise the sketches against
your foes. These abilities are described in their own AB help files.
To use a sketch, you can tear it out of your sketchbook. Once torn, you can then use the SKETCHLINK
command to link yourself to the sketch and control it. Sketch commands use their own balance, the
length of which differs based on the command - some are more complicated than others. Most sketch
abilities are slower than the corresponding player ones, though.
You can have a maximum of three sketches active at once. If you wish to use more, you can insert
some of the currently active sketches back into your sketchbook. Additionally, the magickal energy
of each sketch is limited - after certain amount of attacks, the sketch will weaken too much and
dissolve.
If you get separated from your sketches, you can use CALL SKETCHES to summon them back to your side.
Sketches can be filled with inks for additional effects - the relevant AB help files describe the
usage of each.
Sketches of mobiles have the following abilities:
SKETCHLINK BATTER <target>
- Causes damage to the target.
SKETCHLINK LOCATE <target>
- Attempts to seek the direction in which the target can be found. The sketch can only locate
players within the same area.
