Description:

A riftwalker can create a rift into an inhospitable plane of existence. Although the riftwalkers body cannot survive in the harsh environment, they can project their mind through the rift for a brief period of time. Primal entities which inhabit the rift world can be enslaved by a riftwalker, and bought back to serve. In their native habitat they exist as pure energy, in this realm they manifest as one the following elements; fire, earth, water, and air.

Ancient Law of The Guild of Riftwalkers

  The knowledge contained in these pages is a testament to the guilds struggle
with the powerful energies of the rift. There are six pages, each of which you
should 'read':

Page one   - The Hunt
Page two   - Sparks of Life
Page three - Combat and Control
Page four  - The Arsenal
Page five  - Folly of Demise
Page six   - Shamanic Helper

Page one - The Hunt
-------------------
  There is one particular dimension which is inhabited by powerful beings of
pure energy. You can venture to their home world by using the 'create rift'
spell, but unfortunately we have only mastered the art of sending your mind
there. Your physical form will remain in this realm, so be careful where you
create the rift.

  Once inside the rift you will be able to search for a suitable creature
using 'seek', which will tell you if you're on the right path. Once you have
found your target you should be able to 'ensnare' it, then 'escape' once the
entity is under your control. Nothing could be simpler, good luck!

  Your minion starts off its existance with a full energy supply. Once this
reaches zero you won't be able to summon it, therefore you'll need to feed it
on the energy of other captured rift world beings.

  There are four known creature types, each of which adopt one of the four
primal elements: air, water, fire, and earth. Each rift entity has its
strengths and weaknesses. If you are a rookie member then you should probably
capture fire, or air for your first minion. More powerful guild members should
try their hand at water, and earth however the benefits of fire, and air
should not be dismissed.

  The two damage spells 'rift pulse' and 'dimensional leech' are boosted by
the power of your entities. Capturing and then increasing the power of all
four entity types is a quick way of increasing the damage of these spells.


Page two - Sparks of Life
-------------------------
  We use powerful magic to control forces in two dimensions, therefore certain
spells need an extra boost in the form of a rift spark. Channeling the spell
'spark birth' at the moment an adversary dies will yield a rift spark, which
can then be kept for later use.

  Some say it's wise to create a large quantity of rift sparks before
venturing forth to confront more desirable enemies, other members swear they
can create sparks as and when they need them. You must find the approach which
best suits you.

  Some strong adversaries generate special rift sparks, which the cave shaman
might find useful. Go ask him about 'tasks' and he'll be able to point you in
the right direction.

  The black gem on the back of your hand will automatically store a limited
number of rift sparks, which will save over reboots. The number of rift sparks
stored is shown when you type 'eq' or if you 'look at black gem'.


Page three - Combat and Control
-------------------------------
  Precise commands can be given to an entity using the black gem which is
embedded in the back of your hand. Rift entities stand alongside their master
as long as their master stays at the front of a party, otherwise the entity
will no longer be useful and will vanish.

  A rift entity is fairly weak while in this plane of existance. Therefore you
need to connect with your entity to revive a large part of its original power.
We can do this by using the spell 'establish entity control', which allows us
not only to support the entity with our own life energy, but command it to use
certain skills.

  The skills available depend on the type of entity you are using. The
entities begin with a basic understanding of these skills. To improve them the
entity must make repeated use of the skills at its disposal.

  The controlling link you have with your entity will break when you cast
anything which is considered offensive. The entities and their skills hold the
key to the stability of the link. Offensive rift spells are compatible with
the link, and therefore are except from this rule.

  Top solo kills are listed on the different plaques in the shaman cave. Being
top on any of the plaques will give all of your entities a boost in power
specific to the plaque you're top of.


Page four - The Arsenal
-----------------------
  An entity is nothing without a good piece of steel to make its enemies
bleed! You can add weapons to an entity weapon store using the spell 'consume
weapon', but be warned, you'll not see the weapon again... ever.

  As an entity grows in strength, experience, and most importantly size, it
will be able to wield bigger weapons. There is talk of other rift worlds which
are home to powerful entity weaponry but you'll have to ask for some shamanic
insight into the subject.

  Members can compel their entity to focus on its offensive might, offensive
prowess, defensive valour, defensive talent, or energy revival. Simply summon
a rift entity of your choosing, touch cube and think about that which you want
to improve. Be warned, this can only be undone at great expense so choose
wisely.


Page five - Folly of Demise
---------------------------
  Rift entities dislike dying like anyone else, and with each death they
become angrier. Even the most skilled riftwalker will have trouble summoning
an angry entity, so it's seen as a very wise move to not get them too mad.

  Your entities death will also have very detrimental effects on your well
being, so try and keep your entity alive at all costs. Upon its death it will
also loose a precious amount of experience.

  If however your minion does get upset with you, you can request the aid of
the shaman in his cave, but it will cost you some hard earned gold.


Page six - Shamanic Helper
---------------------------
  A shaman has settled in a cave to the southeast. It is said he has made
quite a home for himself there. No one knows where he came from but he seems
to know a great deal about rifts. The guild has offered him a position as a
researcher but he declined, instead offering his help whenever a guild member
should need it. His services are not cheap but without his aid we would
struggle with our endeavours.

  The shaman can 'pacify' your entity if it gets too angry. He also collects
pieces of paper, we hope in an attempt to further his research into locations
for new rift worlds.

  He can 'sacrifice' items for you which will help to increase the power of
your entity. He'll be able to tell you more about it, go ask him.

  It is also told that the shaman can perform a ritual called 'resurgence',
but it has the potential to hurt him greatly so be prepared to pay him a
considerable fee.

  The shaman tells of some ancient Riftwalker lore which suggests that the
entities grow to be gargantuan! As you start to command more powerful
entities, a magical entity will be drawn from the rift world to serve you. The
old shaman has painted something on the walls of his home, which would seem to
indicate when the magical entity would appear. The magical entity is a
formidable minion, however its power is derived from the power of all the
other rift entities, and as such it does not gain any power itself.
