| I was just perusing through some of the .c files while fixing my aforementioned mpadvance problem, and I came across a few things that were apparently in magic.c that are not present in the game. From memory, these are/were:
Mind Wrack
Mind Wrench
Disenchant Weapon
There may be others, but those are the ones I can distinctly remember. They seem to be fully coded and even have entries in tables.c and mud.h so I'm wondering why these are not setup as skills/spells in the .dat files so that they can be used in game? I am leary of enabling them without knowing why they were left unused to begin with, so if anyone has a clue I would certainly like to know what's going on with these. If nothing else they are just a waste of space in the code at the present time, but they certainly looked interesting if they would work.
I may end up checking these myself later on if time permits and nobody responds, and I'll post back with what I find. Just thought I'd ask incase anyone else had already run into it though.
Thanks!

| | Usually such things are meant to be used as either spec function calls or as part of a weapon flag. You'll probably find several breath weapon style attacks as well that arent represented as castable spells but are used as mob special attacks. |

| | Being coders they probably didn't want to throw away their code, so they left it there just in case. |
