I don't know if anyone even cares but since there's already someone asking for one on the boards I figure it might be worthwhile to list the stuff I've found.

Small sand elemental

The Elemental: a small sand elemental swirled with streaks of incarnadine sand
Show:
The elemental is a miniature swirling storm of multi-hued sand, its millions of sparkling granules constantly shifting and spiraling in ever-renewed patterns of ethereal brilliance. Its surface melds and constantly reforms in undulating ripples, while each granule appears to shift through the myriad hues of light and dark in a heartbeat.
The Case: a pale crystal shard

Fun verbs:
Pet
Sniff
Tickle
Turn
Exhale
Toss
Pull
Touch
Roll
Pinch
Poke


Feeding:
Feed elemental – sapphires or smooth stones seem to work
When it shapeshifts

Discipline:
Pour liquid on elemental if it does the following…
Flaying your hand
Causing localized quakes
Runs back to its shard when not put inside
Bashing at you relentlessly

Training:
Stare – On and Off
Nudge – Make it turn into your desired form
Raise – Set desired form
Rub
Tap – different timer than nudge/raise
Push – Different timer.

>turn ele
You turn your sand elemental about, and it responds by spinning about in a whirling, frenzied cyclone of black sand.

>touch ele
You brush your hand over the sand elemental, its fluid-grainy surface flows against your hand like serpentine scales as it parts like a cascade of water.

>roll ele

Suddenly, the sand elemental ripples outward and explodes in exuberance, its sandy tendrils flailing about playfully.

Training:
You nudge your sand elemental a bit, trying to coax it into changing its shape.
The sand elemental nudges your finger back with a sandy extension of itself.


XXXX raises his sand elemental up a bit in his hand.

>stare my ele
You stare at your sand elemental briefly, and it ripples and flattens out into a perfectly smooth plane, then undulates to form a mirrored version of your face, mimicking your every movement flawlessly. Its eyes close slowly, and its overall hue seems to become a bit duller and its movements more sluggish as it dissipates and reforms into an amorphous ball once more.
Roundtime: 10 secs.
>stare my ele
You stare at your sand elemental briefly, and it ripples and flattens out into a perfectly smooth plane, then undulates to form a mirrored version of your face, mimicking your every movement flawlessly. Its closed eyes suddenly open slowly, and faint swaths of color roll across its surface as it dissolves and then reforms into an amorphous, rippling ball once more.

Feeding:
>feed ele
You extend the sapphire towards your sand elemental.

The sand elemental opens its form up into a wide funnel, its interior swirling and alighting with faint, tiny orbs of bright flame, and you drop the sapphire into the spinning cyclone, which is immediately ground up into tiny motes of sparkling dusty particles and incorporated into its being. The elemental then reforms into an amorphous, shifting orb, glittering happily with its new meal.

You forgot to post that feeding it sapphires or smooth stone encourages your elemental to morph.

I would have put it if I had known!

What I took down was just from my notes and experiences. I tried to avoid wild speculation or my post would be a billion times longer.

If anyone has any other scripts they found, neat training tricks or whatever. Let me know and I'll tack it on.

That's a "morph". When it does that, feed it and it'll learn that morphing is good. When it attacks you, pour liquid on it and it'll learn that chopping off hands is bad. I think when it morphs into something you like, you RAISE your elemental and that "sets" the preferred morph. Then when you've got it trained enough, when you NUDGE your elemental it should transform into the preferred morph.

Are those able to be sold or are they attuned only to the owner?

They're not attuned.

In other words, she just hasn't figured out how yet.

Forgot to post that I also sold one sold for 2m, but I can assure the price will be much more than 2m over the next few months. Woman got their kittens, we got our elementals, let's have a duel of the sexes' pets!

Huge update with examples of learning messages and assorted random messaging.

I'll try to make it easier to read when I feel motivated but even my word copy is a mess.

Skirmisher
04-27-2005, 01:04 AM
Jesus thats a lot of messaging.

Kitsun

Tip of the iceberg too. Mine still doesn't listen to me well enough to do the cool stuff.

Can irreparable harm be done to these things? What I mean is can they be so badly trained that certain abilities/scripts will be gone forever, or can they die if you don't feed them?

Kitsun
04-29-2005, 11:41 PM
I'm not sure anyone has owned one or tried to do that yet. They don't seem to require the sapphires to stay alive, I've gone a week or so without feeding it and it seems fine, I'm sure other people have neglected it more.

From what I've seen you CAN train them in the wrong direction. Saw someone teach theirs to curl up and hide more often. I somehow don't think it would be completely destroyed but it'll take a lot longer to work it up to what you want it at.

Any kind of liquid should work.

I thought maybe the alcohol would calm it down but mine is an angry drunk...

Razorfish
05-04-2005, 01:52 PM
pour some death rum on it... it will have no choice but to calm down... hehe
