Combat Messages

• Regular messages:
  • With enough MP:

    <name> begins chanting, and you feel some of your power move from you to him.

    You lose some Mana Points.

    <name> dances in a circle. The air briefly glows octarine.

    <name> grins, and you catch a whiff of Ovaltine.

  • Without enough MP:

    <name> looks at you with a disappointed frown.

• Enthroned in the Crown of Thrones:

  Monster attack power reduced by 3-5

  Monster defense reduced by 3-5

• With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:

• With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:

  <name> busts a disturbingly erotic move around the maypole. The air briefly glows octarine.

Arena Messages

• None - familiar has no weaknesses.

Notes

• The amount of MP used is equal to half the Shaman's weight, rounded down (minimum 1 MP).
• In The Cake-Shaped Arena, the Pygmy Bugbear Shaman uses no MP, so the tiny nose-bone fetish is useless here.
• Without enough MP the Pygmy Bugbear Shaman will do either the Volleyball effect or the Fairy effect, but not both.

References

• In Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, octarine is "the colour of magic", an eighth color of the visible light spectrum that can only be seen by magic users (such as wizards and witches). A few of the books contain jokes about the sexual symbolism of the maypole, which explains the shaman's "disturbingly erotic" maypole dance.
• Ovaltine is a malted milk flavouring used to make a comforting bedtime drink.
