log_pub.txt ...and a fun aftermath ;)

log_ceremony.txt Here is the log for the ceremony. I would like to thank all who attended. It was awesome

Yes, that exactly. Now it takes a few clicks: Open fight popup, select classic ritual, fight this way, scroll to pick a ritual and click, click again to choose influence, click close. That adds up when you attack a lot of people like in GoE for example.

The Caretakers would like to send an invitation to the whole realm. As per an already established custom in our alliance, we will host a ceremony to mark the leadership transition. The event will place Sunday (2026-09-27), 3 pm GMT at The Gravesite (7_terracecrossroads_1). Afterwards, we can head to the pub for a few drinks ;)

Update: there's a place to turn off the illusion, my bad. Thankfully, it turns out the evo points are not lost when the illusion ends :) I believe the "bug" still holds for the login, though. Might be annoying if someone is caught by surprise. EDIT: I need to get some more sleep. I had two drafts open and ended up mixing them. This one was supposed to go to the bug report section and I ended up posting in the CT section. Can someone move it please?

Yesterday I got givemask via wish shop and cast it. When logging in today the interface said something like "verify invalid account" when using my regular playername. Luckily my char in illusion showed up in the online player list, so I tried using the illusion name (Masked Figure 901613), it worked. This seems very problematic if one is to cast this spell on another player. Perhaps it should be deactivated until properly adjusted. Also, how long does it last? It's been more than 10 hours now (if I'm not mistaken) and the spell is still up. Should that be the case? One last question: do I keep evo points when in an illusion? Do they revert back to the previous values when it ends?

I noticed you changed the ld stiller to heat tainter. Looks pretty good to me. Are you satisfied with the taming ones (Brood Tender, Shade Handler and Dust Drover especially), though? Those are the ones that stood out as "lore awkward" to me.

One of the realm's finest is back! It's great to see you around, Syrian. Also welcome to the Caretakers, you certainly have good taste in alliances ;)

Two (perhaps three) suggestions: A "creaturedex": a private page where you can view artworks, stats and descriptions (if available) for all creatures you own and their previous levels. I'm tired of maintaining a screenshot folder for previous creature levels (and forgetting where I put it all the time) for future reference. It'd be nice to set a default attack ritual and a button "attack with default rit" to avoid popups and clicks when attacking a player. Paired with this, perhaps a new ritual management interface with editing options to already existing rituals

Please remove the auto focus on the chat message text field when loading a new screen on mobile. It drastically hinders movement. Also automatically opening the phone keyboard every time is quite annoying. Not sure if that's the default behavior on all mobile browsers though

I would like to suggest a revision of some of the new tag titles and descriptions, especially the ones in Necrovion, as their texts, in my opinion, are contradictory to some core MD concepts. While I have never been a Necrovion citizen, its concepts have always interested me and my character has been historically close to a good number of people from the land. The taming branch, in particular, feels very disconnected from what I know of the land and its creatures. I'll go over the ones that caught my eye, but I'd like to hear from everyone. Feel free to point out other tags that might look strange or perhaps tell me that I'm overthinking things and should ignore these. Taming Branch Brood Tender: "feeds and waters the young creatures of Necrovion, the ones that hatch from the taint". Does that refer to the Dark creature? If by any chance this might refer to a Shade, what of the information in the AL that "shades can not cross water" (https://magicduel.com/page/AdventureLog/view/97 and https://magicduel.com/page/AdventureLog/view/429)? Could shades be watered? Shade Handler: this one is strange to me. Shades handled with a rod and a calm voice? Moving them from one place to another without losing any? Like sheep? Is that possible? Dust Drover: this one may imply that shades feed where liquid dust pools (Deathmarrow, I guess)? "drives shades back fed"? "counts them"? Looks like sheep again. Soul Twister: nothing too drastic here, but "Twists souls at the stone of the twisted souls" sounds way too sloppy to my taste. Memory Branch Dust Sifter: "sifts the dust of Necrovion through fine cloth for the grains that shine". If by dust we mean liquid dust, that just does not seem like a thing to me. "...still tastes it", taste liquid dust? What would that imply? Shade Listener: I actually like this one a lot, but again, the tag here bears heavy implications in terms of MD lore. Dust Distiller: distil liquid dust? Is that doable? Blades quenched in liquid dust? That sounds like something that'd do a lot to a person. Dust Refiner: "refines liquid dust until it is clear enough to set into metal". Like the previous one, is that doable? There are some other tags that caught my attention for different reasons, I'll list them here: Ferry Hand: does that one imply the person can reach the Angien Shrine? Should that particular tag open the scene to the player? That would be cool, I guess, but perhaps too powerful. Mist Bottler: now that the strange mist is gone, should that tag remain? The rest of its branch seems fine, though. Let me know what you think.

I hope I'm mistaken and my old eyes deceive me, but a fellow citizen depleting their own land? What is the realm coming to?

I agree with all 3 points. Also, while not exactly in abuse territory (as far as I know), I'd also think it'd be interesting to: Charge a cancellation fee, as there are a lot of things that end up "cancelled by seller". I think "testing the market" by setting things up for auction is detrimental to potential buyers (N) and only benefits the seller (1).

An 'itemlock' spell would be interesting indeed. But in my opinion, it should have a small duration, similar to its counterparts attacklock and movelock.
