Quote: [Spells help] faerie fire
Syntax: cast 'faerie fire' <victim> Faerie fire encircles the victim in a halo of glowing flames which effectively allows opponents to land blows with greater ease. The spell's effectiveness increases with the level of the caster. Faerie fire, on a 'standard' DIKU MUD, heightens the armor class, giving the attackers an edge on melee attacks. Some have argued that it is magical attacks in SK, since the magical protection enchant in SK give reduction in damage of magical attacks. Which one is it? A greater ease of melee blows on target, or more magic damage on target? |

It's drop in overall MP, which may allow more damage from melee weapons if they have a magical element such as flaming bite in addition to damage from spells. Also it effectively drops your overall armor class slightly, so hits that would have deflected may actually strike. It also prevents the victim from hiding, camoing, or going invis, which at times can win fights. |

It's usefull as hell at GM for sprite swashies. Thats for damn sure. I think it's 2 points of AC per caster level, so at GM it's 100. That may have changed though. I doubt it negates that much MP, if so....sweeeeet. |

pretty much what fepel said, the drop in over all mp also effects spells cast at you. its a pretty nifty spell. |

It's a good reason to create a sprite warlock, because their spells are quite easy to soak. |

Remember my short-lived sprite warlock, Konge? I thought GM faerie fire + elemental spells would be a very decent combo. Turns out it wasn't. It does lower MP, but the difference isn't all that great. Still, it is a useful spell and far too underrated in some situations. |

It's both. Perhaps the help file should be rewritten to clarify better. |
