------------------------------------------------------------------------- Skill : Materialize Class : Demon Cost : 20 to materialize; 0 to dematerialize Skill Type : Active Casting Time : 2 to materialize, 0 to dematerialize Difficulty : Ability -- always succeeds Stats Base : None Syntax : do materialize [form] or do materialize (to dematerialize) This skill allows a demon to change from its normal ethereal form into a physical manifestation. Forms are as follows: Immaterial (default): you are insubstantial and highly resistant to most attacks, but you cannot attack physically, though you may still cast a few spells. Attacks based on Vorpal, Warp and Holy damage will still affect you as normal. Psychic, Chaos, Sound, Drain, and Magic damage are only 75% effective against you. Light and Shock based attacks are 60% effective. All other attack types are only half as effective while a demon is immaterial. Human: you have normal combat and spellcasting abilities. Demon: you take on a monstrous form; strength and stamina are greatly increased, but the brutish nature of this form reduces your intellect and magical abilities. You can only materialize from immaterial form -- to change between two material forms you must first dematerialize. -------------------------------------------------------------------------
