What are commands and spells, and how do I get them?
Commands are special abilities you can learn as you progress in the game. There are a number of general commands that can be learned by everyone and you are given a few of these from the outset. To see your current list of known commands, type ‘commands’. In addition to the general commands, each guild has its own range of unique commands which convey certain special abilities. In the case of mages and priests these are represented by spells, whereas for fighters and thieves they are called commands. There are many many commands to learn in each guild, but some examples might be the ability to shield bash or go into a berserk frenzy (if you’re a fighter), or perhaps to sneak and steal (if you are a thief). The commands and spells you can learn depend on how well trained you are in certain skills. To see if you qualify for any new commands or spells, find your guildmaster and type ‘say teach me’ if you’re a fighter or thief, or type ‘study’ if you’re a mage or ‘pray’ if you’re a priest.
