The Nature Totem of the Moon Spirit is available to some members of the Serenwilde commune, and is the required totem of the Moondancer wiccan guild. Bonding with the Moon Spirit grants many lunar powers, some of which increase or decrease depending on the phase of the moon. Those with the Moon Spirit specialization may also join together in covens which afford even greater powers.

The Killing Moon (by Iraen)

Coven

Syntax:
MOONCOVEN FORM

MOONCOVEN JOIN <person>
MOONCOVEN REJECT <person>
MOONCOVEN APPOINT <person>
MOONCOVEN DISSOLVE
MOONCOVEN LEAVE
MOONCOVEN MEMBERS
MOONCOVEN CIRCLE
MOONCOVEN SQUAD
COVEN <message>

A coven is used to perform many Moon magics. To initiate, first FORM a coven. As the leader of a coven, you may invite up to 13 others who follow the path of the Moon* to JOIN your coven, and REJECT will dismiss the person if you wish to remove the member. As leader you may APPOINT someone who will take over as coven leader in your place if you are to die or leave the realms.

To see who is currently in a formed coven, you can view the MEMBERS. To end a coven, simply use DISSOLVE, or use LEAVE to exit a coven. When three or more coven members stand together, CIRCLE will have you and all other members of the coven present join hands in a circle, which enables certain spells and provides minor resistance for its members against unwanted summons. Some Moon magic can only be performed in a coven or in a coven circle. To speak to all members of your coven, use COVEN <message>.

If you have the squads ability in Combat, you can use MOONCOVEN SQUAD to convert your coven into a squad. A coven squad earns more XP bonus than a normal squad.

  • Those with the Moonchilde Aura when the Moon Altar is active may also join the coven but will not count for Rage Covens.

Beam

Syntax:
MOONDANCE BEAM <target>

Dance upon a beam of moonlight and travel to a target.

  • If you are a Moonchilde when the Moon Altar is active, moonbeaming will be much faster.

Light

Syntax:
MOONDANCE LIGHT
Minimum Coven Size: 3

Your coven can bathe a location in moonlight, which will regenerate the ego of all followers of Stag and Moon. The moonlight will disappear on the following dawn.

Lash

Syntax:
MOONDANCE LASH <target>

This special dance to the moon will drain the mana of a target and convert it into health for yourself.

Aura

Syntax:
MOONDANCE AURA
Damage Modifier: variable based on skill level, max of 14

Surrounding yourself with the aura of the Moon will provide some protection against magical attacks.

Cone

Syntax:
MOONDANCE CONE
Minimum Coven Size: 3*

As the leader of a coven, you may raise a cone of power at an energy node and channel that energy directly into the Moonhart Tree.

Special: If the Moon Altar is raised, a single Moondancer may raise a cone.

Waxing

Syntax:
MOONDANCE WAXING
Minimum Coven Size (for moon ray effect): 3

The waxing light of the Moon will heal you of physical injury, more so when she is in her waxing phase. Members of your coven circle, if it has at least three members, may also be struck by a moon ray and enjoy its healing effect.

Shafts

Syntax:
MOONDANCE SHAFTS
Power: 2 (Moonhart Tree)

The changing and fluctuating nature of Mother Moon can be seen when she sends her shafts of moonlight down to a location. If she grants you such a boon, exits leading out of the location will mysteriously appear and disappear so long as this blessing lasts.

Shine

Syntax:
MOONDANCE SHINE
Power: 10 (Moonhart Tree)

Damage Modifier: 2-10

To truly understand the nature of Mother Moon, you must understand the cyclical nature of moon phases. By bringing her spirit within you, you will shine forth with the light of the moon, the power of which will reflect each of her moon phases.

  • Waxing Crescent - damage you do is increased slightly
  • First Quarter - damage you do is increased moderately
  • Waxing Gibbous - damage you do is increased heavily
  • Full Moon - damage you do is increased heavily and your health is increased greatly
  • Waning Gibbous - your health is increased greatly
  • Last Quarter - your health is increased moderately
  • Waning Crescent - your health is increased lightly
  • New Moon - No effect

NOTE: This cannot be cast during a new moon. If a new moon rises while you have this defense, the defense will go into hibernation but re-emerge during the next waxing phase.

Waning

Syntax:
MOONDANCE WANING <target>

The Curse of the Waning Moon will slow down your enemy dramatically. This power is most effective when the Moon is in her waning phase.

Harvest

Syntax:
MOONDANCE HARVEST
Power: 5 (Moonhart Tree) (per coven member)

Coven Size: 3

Dancing the Harvest Moon is only possible when at least three members have formed a coven. All members will receive an increase in experience during combat. The blessing will be lifted when the coven is dissolved or at the light of the next dawn, whichever comes first.

Full

Syntax:
MOONDANCE FULL
Power: 3 (Moonhart Tree)

Bathing yourself in the full light of the Moon will heal you of a variety of afflictions. This is most powerful during the Full Moon. Members of your coven circle, if it has at least three members, may also be struck by a moon ray and enjoy its healing affect.

Resurgem

Syntax:
MOONDANCE RESURGEM
Power: 0/10 (Moonhart Tree)

Minimum Coven Size: 3

The coven may call upon Spirit Moon to grant life to a fallen person, though it will cost the coven leader power if not a follower of Moon or Stag. The corpse will be transported to you and immediately revived. If the corpse does not exist or is not in its natural state (i.e., not fossilized or had last rites performed on it, etc.), the ceremony will fail.

Dark

Syntax:
MOONDANCE DARK
Power: 8 (Moonhart Tree)
Syntax:
MOONDANCE DARK AT <target>
Power: 5 (Moonhart Tree)

Dancing the darkside of the Moon will bring the dark side of the moon down upon your location, afflicting your enemies with many curses and stripping away their defences. The duration of a dark moon will be longer during a new moon and shorter during a full moon.

Alternatively, you may afflict someone directly with the curse of the dark moon, and though this will not last as long it is useable through a Killing Moon.

Conclave

Syntax:
MOONDANCE CONCLAVE
Power: 5 (Moonhart Tree)

If you are the leader of a coven, you may call a conclave, which will call forth all coven members to you. Coven members will only arrive if they are on the same plane and continent as yourself.

Rage

Syntax:
MOONDANCE RAGE
Minimum Coven Size: 5

Also known as being under a Killing Moon. Dancing until the Moon rages is perhaps the most awesome of the Moon's many powers, so much in fact that it will take a coven of at least five members to invoke. Depending on the phase of the Moon, coven members are able to cast the following spells on any individual who remains outdoors: WANING, DARK, and MOONBURST. This ritual must be performed outdoors in order to invoke the rage of the Moon. The area of effect is as follows:

  • FULL MOON PHASE: Anyone in the same continent.
  • WANING, WAXING: Anyone in the local area.
  • NEW MOON: Cannot cast Moon Rage.

Drawdown

Syntax:
MOONDANCE DRAWDOWN
Power: 10 (Moonhart Tree)

Damage Modifier: 24

Drawing down the Moon is the ultimate joining between lunar energies and those on the path of the Moon. You may only draw down the Moon at night when she is out. Taking on the Moon's aura will afford you mana regeneration, increased intelligence and some protection against damage. You will also be able to cast the powerful MOONBURST spell against enemies.

Syntax:
MOONBURST <target>
Damage Type: 100% Magic

Damage Source: Magical

For those who use weaponry, note that while blessed by Mother Moon, silvery moonlight will cover all weapons you wield, increasing their statistics.
