Flavour of Magic

Flavour of Magic

Type: Noncombat
MP Cost: 10

This spell will allow you to bring your mystical being in line with the elemental forces that underly all things: earth, wind, fire, water, and heart. Wait, I mean hot, cold, sleaze, stench, and spookiness. And what's the deal with 'heart' anyway? How does that make any sense at all?

Forces pasta spells (not sauce ones) to have a single element of choosing (40 Adventures)

Source: Guild Trainer
Price: 14,000 Meat
Class: Pastamancer
Level: 14


Obtaining this skill gives the player five elemental spells that show up in the skills menu:

  • Spirit of Cayenne (hot damage)
  • Spirit of Peppermint (cold damage)
  • Spirit of Garlic (stench damage)
  • Spirit of Wormwood (spooky damage)
  • Spirit of Bacon Grease (sleaze damage)

Notes

  • Despite the in-game description, this skill is not a noncombat skill itself but offers the five elemental noncombat skills noted above.

References

  • The elemental forces mentioned are a reference to the cartoon show Captain Planet. The powers that combined to form Captain Planet were, in order, Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Heart; the phrase "And what's the deal with 'heart' anyway?" refers to the fact that the fifth element, Heart, is often ridiculed.
  • Oddly enough, the 5 elements are not listed in the 'correct' order in the skill description. Perhaps the order they are in is a result of wanting "Earth, Wind, and Fire" to be in that order.
  • The name of the skill is a reference to the first Discworld novel "The Colour of Magic". In the Discworld universe, the number eight has powerful magical properties and importance, and is unsafe for wizards to say.
  • The "Spirit of St. Louis" mentioned in the casting text is a reference to the airplaine Charles Lindbergh used to make the first solo non-stop flight across the Atlantic ocean in May 1927.
  • "concentrate, meditate, regulate, the number eight," is a reference to Mediate by INXS (where the entire song is rhymes ending with the "-ate" sound).
  • "Flavour of Magic" may also be a reference to the column "Taste the Magic", from magicthegathering.com
