      Potentially, I have mercy enabled. I don’t know if it worked, because EQ launches and immediately crashes on my desktop at home.

      Would not recommend trying it level 70+ first.

      Thought Bottle

      A flask of thick green glass, a thought bottle can be used to store thoughts, memories, experience, or spells. A single bottle can hold five thoughts or memories at a time, or a single creature’s current experience, or a single spellcaster’s collection of prepared spells. Any individual that touches the bottle and speaks the command word instantly gains a general knowledge of the bottle’s contents, but doesn’t actually access the thoughts, memories, or spells within until she consciously decides to do so. Storing or retrieving anything from a thought bottle requires a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity.

      Thoughts: The bottle can store specific ideas, communications, or conclusions. Once a memory is stored, it disappears from the user’s mind, but she remembers the general nature of the stored thought. For example, if the user stored the name of a murderer, that name would disappear from her memory and be unrecoverable from her own mind by any means, though she would know that the thought bottle now contains the murderer’s name. Similarly, secret messages and intelligence can be hidden in a thought bottle to pass them to someone else.

      Memories: The user’s recollection of a single day’s events can be stored in the bottle. Once stored, the user remembers the general nature of the memory (“the day we performed the Ritual of Binding”) but loses all details of the event itself.

      Experience: A thought bottle can be used to offset level loss as a restoration spell can, but is effective against level loss that even restoration can’t undo (including levels lost due to death, but not the negative levels bestowed by magic items such as a holy weapon). When a user’s experience has been stored within the bottle, he can subsequently access the bottle to restore his XP total to exactly what it was when it was last stored, negating any levels lost in the interim. Storing experience in the bottle is difficult, and the user must pay 500 XP (deducted before storing) to do so. Only the creature that stored experience can retrieve it, but if the bottle is destroyed or lost, the user suffers no ill effects.

      Spells: An owner who prepares spells can store some or all of her memorized spells in a thought bottle. Any spell she puts into the thought bottle is expended as if she had cast it, but the spells in the bottle can then be retrieved at any later date to be prepared as normal. Wizards often use this function of the bottle to create a kind of backup spellbook, concealing thought bottles in well-hidden bolt-holes against the eventuality of their grimoires being stolen or destroyed. Only the character who stored the spells can retrieve them, and if the bottle is destroyed, the stored spells are lost with no effect.

      Strong enchantment; CL 13th; Craft Wondrous Item, demand, modify memory; Price 20,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.

      Mirror Move

      Transmutation
      
Level: Brd 2, Sor/Wiz 2

      Components: V, S, M

      Casting Time: 1 action
      
Range: Personal
      
Target: You
      
Duration: 1 minute/level

      Mirror move allows you to reproduce any general feat with an obvious physical effect that you observed another perform within the past 10 rounds, providing you meet the prerequisites for that feat.

      For example, Mialee is proficient with the shortbow but does not possess the Point Blank Shot feat. However, she can watch Soveliss perform the feat, then, using mirror move, she can mimic his Point Blank Shot feat to better attack an orc advancing on her. When the spell dissipates, Mialee can no longer access this feat (unless she later acquires it herself or recasts mirror move for the same effect).

      With a single casting, you may mirror move a number of feats equal to your Intelligence bonus, but always at least one. That is, a caster with an Intelligence of 10 can mirror one feat, while a caster with 18 Intelligence can mirror up to four feats with a single use of the spell. The effects of multiple castings of mirror move do not stack. Each new casting wipes out the previous one.
      You can mirror move the following feats:

      You can mirror move the following feats:

      Ambidexterity
      Combat Casting
      Combat Reflexes
      Dodge
      Mobility
      Spring Attack
      Exotic Weapon Proficiency
      Expertise
      Improved Disarm
      Improved Trip
      Whirlwind Attack
      Improved Critical
      Improved Initiative
      Improved Unarmed Strike
      Deflect Arrows
      Stunning Fist
      Lightning Reflexes
      Martial Weapon Proficiency
      Mounted Combat
      Mounted Archery
      Trample
      Ride-By Attack
      Spirited Charge
      Point Blank Shot
      Far Shot
      Precise Shot
      Rapid Shot
      Shot on the Run
      Power Attack
      Cleave
      Improved Bull Rush
      Sunder
      Great Cleave
      Quick Draw
      Run
      Shield Proficiency
      Simple Weapon Proficiency
      Two-Weapon Fighting
      Improved Two-Weapon Fighting
      Weapon Finesse
      Weapon Focus

      The DM may allow mirroring of feats from sources other than the Player’s Handbook, as long as they are feats with observable physical effects.

      Spellcasters who do not meet the prerequisite(s) for the feat they wish to mirror can sometimes find clever ways around this limitation. For example, Mialee has the Improved Unarmed Strike feat but a Dexterity of only 11. She casts cat’s grace on herself, receiving 2 additional Dexterity points for a 13 Dexterity. She then casts mirror move, adopting Ember’s Deflect Arrows feat. When mirror move dissipates, Mialee retains her heightened Dexterity until her cat’s grace spell ends but she loses access to Deflect Arrows. If she somehow lost the effects of cat’s grace before the end of mirror move’s duration, she would lose access to the Deflect Arrows feat.
      One interesting note about mirror move is that the spell conveys all the nuances of the mirrored character’s style. Using the previous example, Mialee not only gains the ability to Deflect Arrows but the arcane power results in her deflecting arrows exactly as Ember would do it. Although Ember may not be with Mialee when she cast the mirror move spell, anyone familiar with Ember’s style (for instance, a lifelong enemy or former trainer) may recognize that Mialee’s arrow deflection is actually borrowed from Ember. Anyone familiar with Ember’s defensive style should be allowed a Spot check (DC 15) to recognize the similarities.

      It’s worth noting that Item Creation Feats and Special Feats can not be duplicated by mirror move. Likewise, Metamagic Feats are too subtle and/or complex to be mirrored.

      Material Component: Any reflective surface, including highly polished shields or armor and even surfaces of water, can be used for this spell. Many spellcasters carry small mirrors with them for material components.

      STAFF EXPERTISE [EPIC]

      You can activate staffs with the speed that an archer
      fires arrows.

      Prerequisites: Craft Staff, Master Staff, Quicken Spell, Spellcraft 30 ranks.

      Benefits: You may activate a staff in place of an attack instead of as a standard action. As a full-round action, you could thus make as many staff activations as you could normally make ranged attacks. For instance, if your base attack bonus is +11, you could activate a staff three times as a full-round action. If you also had the Rapid Shot feat, you could activate the staff four times as a full-round action.

      Each activation after the first costs one additional charge from the staff, cumulative. Thus, the second activation in a round costs 2 extra charges, the third activation 3 extra charges, and so forth.

      yeah - i think in NWN they built 'em into neverending charged rods… so my caster wound up blasting EVERYTHING with his ray of frost ;p took farking FOREVER to crack open a chest or kill any monster over level 2… but giving our Wand of Arcane Mark with unlimited charges to someone like Dregs would wind up with him autographing every block, building and paving stone in Vral with sigils - just to annoy Sorvani…

      one of these days V really needs to get the city a 2nd powerviner for dregs to play with… ;p
