Spell descriptions and FUL bombs

[beowuuf]

I was reading my old DM manual today, and noted these two entry bits in the spell descriptions...

FUL: ...further symbols can bottle this power... GOR: ..recent usage has broadened the power of GOR to the creation of dangerous potions...

It sounds like FUL GOR (xxx) should have created a FUL bomb, and for whatever reason was never included/taken out of the game after the manual was written.

well some dm\2\csb have the ability to make thoser full bombs.. i forget what symbols tohu.

Perhaps they were removed from the game because they would make the game alot easier. Just imagine creating Ful Bombs all the time, Think how fast you could finish the game with a basically unlimited supply of those. It does sound like fun though.

Well you would only have 19 in DM, and they wouldn't be greatly effective against lots of higher monsters, but I do think the game balance would be an issue. It's a shame, as I know I spent AGES (like alot of people) trying out every gor combo of spells, and also trying to create a ful bomb...ah well...

Actually, it would not be unlimited.
For the same reason the Ven potions were un-popular. They destroy the flask. There is limited numbers of these as you all well know.
So it wouldn't really unbalance the game at all.

19? Is that how many empty flasks there are? Or is it potions combined with empty flasks? There is a spell for Gor. Damned If I can't remember it. Had something to do with monster confusion. CSB only,I think. Unfortunately I've only play CSB once, All the emulators I've tried seem buggy.

GOR is not used anywhere in a DM spell, but it IS used in CSB and possibly DM2 (but I will have to check that)
In CSB it's used in 3 map spells.

There is a spell to make a ful bomb in CSB from a ven potion. Can't remember it !

[Gambit37]

Really???!!!! I've never heard of that before - are you sure? You've got me thinking now; I hope this isn't an early April Fool! I thought I knew pretty much everything about DM but that's anew one on me!

I don't like to create fake illusions (but are there true illusions anyway?), but I think it´s true. I don't have CSB now to try out, so I can't help any further for now. Sorry.
