We seem to be overlapping our posts a bit.

As I alluded to a few post ago, loremasters attemped to control magic items

once before. We placed a general ban on pentacle items which caused a

huge uproar in Avalon and didn't work out anyway (too many rouge loremasters

and Artisans violated the ban). Of all the other professions in Avalon,

only mages agreed with this ban, and in fact, called for even more items to

be banned.

We chose pentacle items because pentacles give fighting loremasters more

trouble than perhaps any other defense. And all pentacle items are SUPPLIED

by loremasters. Hence we were providing Avalon with something that was

slapping us in the face.

Consider the possibilities. If we banned astralbond items, few people would

ever be shipped except by a mage or a loremaster. If we banned teleport and

traversal items, people would be safe in nearly ANY closed area (with

pyramid down) except from loremasters and mages. I like it!

The bottom line is, some of us have guild skills that were intended to be

shared with all of Avalon. Examples include the abilities to pick and prepare

poisons and herbs, restore life, mix potions, make weapons and armour,

curse items, fashion runes, and apparently, make magic items. Whether or

not these skills were intented to be shared universally or selectively is

another matter all together.
