| Question: | I always thought it would be cool to have Flame or Lightning weapons act as a torch does (though blue/purpleish for the lightning). Doesn't really make sense for acid or frost but could you imagine a new dungeon without a light source that is a battleground of where the Shadows and Undead are fighting their wars...(it's not like either would need light).... This dungeon, lit up only by brave warriors flaming weapons...I know it would be possible, but would it be feisable? The extra light tasking the cpu time more or what not.... (perhaps to cut down only peerless atlans with the greater stones would light, not just your normal flaming weapon) |

| Answer: | Yes. It is on my list of things to do. However there are so many variants that it will take a while, and this means that I would have to NOT do something else NEW for a given event prop, and at the moment, we would much prefer to get new stuff in than alter old stuff. But I'm still determined to do it. It may take the form of a handful getting done at a time... Sean. |
