Description
General Commands
These are general commands with which every Adventurer should be familiar.
alias Using the alias command, you may create a synonym for a longer legitimate command, and then use the shortened version instead of the full version.
chat Materia Magica has a special chat room feature. These rooms allow people who want a break from playing the game, or who just want to chat in a fantasy role-playing setting, a place to do so without fear of evil sorcerers, insane shopkeepers, and the like.
train Through use of the TRAIN command, you can increase the attributes (strength, intelligence, etc.) or vital statistics (hit points, spell points, stamina) on your character, thus increasing their effectiveness.
practice The PRACTICE command allows you to train a skill (proficiency or spell) and increase your knowledge of it. It is different from the TRAIN command in that you are not learning about a general attribute or a vital statistic, but about something more specific.
shop Through your travels in Alyria you will come across many merchants seeking to sell you goods and services, or buy goods from you. You can buy many different types of goods and services from shopkeepers, such as weapons, magical spells, horses, pets, etc. - all using the SHOP command in the presence of a shopkeeper.
quest The QUEST command allows you to undertake and manage quests. The members of the Council of Seven - the Lords and Ladies of Alyria - will allow you to undertake quests in order to gain special points called 'quest points', as well as other rewards, such as practices, gold, experience, and special items. Quest points can additionally be saved up and used at any quest master to purchase specially-enchanted items.
class Once a player reaches level 60 in their current class, the option to change classes is available. Classes are changed by collecting and providing desired gemstones - black tourmalines - to a local Lord (such as Lord Agrippa). The CLASS command, when used in the presence of a local Lord, allows you to deposit gemstones with them, view your multiclass gemstone account, as well as change classes when you are ready.
shift Faerie characters - those of the Fey and Sidhe races - have the ability to shift shape due to their magical natures. The SHIFT command allows the faerie to change shapes for a limited amount of time and can only be done at night.
quit This command allows you to exit the game safely and saves your character for later return. While you do not have to use this command to have your items saved, it is recommended as if there are items that will not persist or that you cannot take with you (items that are greatly out of your level range, and some special items) you will be informed. You do not have to be in a special location to quit and save in Materia Magica.
