Magic Balls which are thrown and strike a player or object can have various effects. Unless otherwise noted:

  1. A magic-user may physically carry only the number of Magic Balls purchased. Pages and other players may not carry extra Magic Balls for magic-users.
  2. Once a Magic Ball’s Incantation has been said, it is considered active until thrown or interrupted.
  3. A player may only have one Magic Ball active at a time.
  4. Magic Balls of the Subdual School have no effect on equipment that is not being carried.
    • Example: You may not Iceball a player’s shield if it is not being wielded or carried by them.
  5. Magic Balls only affect the first thing they hit.
  6. Magic Balls affect only the player or object struck; Magic Balls are not engulfing unless noted.
  7. Barring any Enchantments or magical effects, garb strikes count as hitting the player if the Magic Ball would have continued on to hit the player.
  8. Magic Balls do not damage armor unless otherwise noted.
  9. Magic Balls are not stopped by Protection from Projectiles, Missile Block, and other similar magic and abilities.

Additional notes:

  • Effects and States caused by Magic Balls last 60 seconds.
  • Starting an Incantation renders the player’s active Magic Balls inactive.
