Commands D-F

Description

This command allows a person to set the description of their character. The description is seen when the character is looked upon by other players or when you look at yourself. No real game effect, but a nice novelty all the same.

Dig

if you think there is hidden treasure, booty if you will, in a room you may dig for it using a spade. Some places require the use of a pick axe as well as the spade. Digging may also uncover secret exits.

Disarm

If you have the ability to disarm traps, this command is used to achieve this. It can be focused on an item, or in a direction.

Dismount

mounts are a vital part for low level, but there are some places that mounts are not allowed. To dismount, you use this command.

Discuss

Donate

After an item has served it?€™s usefulness one may wish to pass it along to other characters. If you do not want to auction it, you may donate it. All major cities have a donation room, a room where the donations are taken. If you are in search of something, including reagents the donation rooms area a good, free place to check.

Dream

When asleep you are connected globally to all other characters that are sleeping. You may communicate with them by using the dream command. Like most large scale commands the dream command has a timer attached to it, so you cannot dream too much, too fast.

Drink

As in real life characters require food and drink. If you see the message ?€?Your throat is parched?€? it is suggested that you drink something. For Feys it is required that they drink blood (which also cures hunger), though for all other water is just fine. This command is also used for drinking alcohol and other liquids. Dracons may also drink blood.

Drop

Many times one?€™s inventory will become full, or you may just pick up an item that you don?€™t want to carry. To get rid of the item you may drop, donate, or auction it.

Eat

Like Drink, this command allows a character to remain healthy. The message ?€?Your stomach rumbles?€? is a cue that you are hungry. Stores across Alyria carry food stuffs. In a pinch several characters have resorted to eating a freshly defeated enemy?€™s limbs.

Empty

some liquids become contaminated through various ways, to take care of this one should empty their container and re fill it when possible, preferably from a clean water source.

Emote

Materia Magica is a dynamic game, allowing the characters to express the emotions their real life control is feeling. By using the emote command the screen displays an emotion or action that your character does or has. These do not directly affect game play in anyway.

Enter

From time to time there are dimensional rifts that occur as a result of the powerful Nexus spell that wizards use. To use these, and other similar phenomenon you must ?€?enter?€™ into it (Ex: Enter portal). a variety of other objects are available for entering as well.

Equip

Short cut to Wear.

Equipment

Ever wonder what you have equipped? This command displays a list of your equipment, your Armor Resistance and the damage you do with your current weapon.

Evoke

Druids may call upon the forces of Alyria to aide them in battle. An Evocation is such a call, it is a spell that uses a specific aspect of nature against their opponent. This can restrain, burn, freeze, or teleport the opponent away, just to name a few.

Examine

Another name for Look.

Extinguish

Why waste light? The extinguish command allows you to save your war banner until it is dark. In order to re activate the light source, you need to use the Light command.

Feed

A command exclusive to Fey, it allows the fey to use a vampiric attack against an enemy to begin a battle.

Fill

To carry liquid with you require two things, first a container and second a liquid. After finding both you need to use the fill command to get the liquid inside the container.

Flee

Some battles are too hard and some opponents too tough to beat, at least in one battle. It promotes the chance of your character surviving an encounter, the Flee command is available. Typically designating a direction, such as flee north, will enhance the chance of a successful flee.

Formation

Formations are useful tools for allowing several players to combine skills and attack a mob or NPC. Some players use this to terrorize other players in Player Killing Rooms, but not often. To join a formation, use the Formation Follow argument. Several other commands are available on the Materia Magica website, as well as the in game help file.

Ft

Shortcut to Form Talk, allowing conversation inside a formation, with no players outside the formation hearing the comments.
