Stack
From Discworld MUD Wiki
There are a number of spells and rituals which stack. This means that if you cast, or perform, them again while already under their effects, the power or duration will be added to the existing effects.
So, for example, if a spell will last five minutes, then casting it twice will give you a total duration of ten minutes.
[edit] Examples
The following spells and rituals stack:
- Chrenedict's Calcareous Covering: Stacks with regards to strength. Additional castings result in more layers, up to a point.
- Clarify: Stacks with regards to duration.
- Cool: Stacks with regards to duration.
- Holy Weapon: Stacks with regards to duration.
- Major Shield and Minor Shield: Stack with each other and with themselves with regards to duration. However, a combination of major and minor will be weaker than a major.
- Mama Kolydina's Instant Infestation: Stacks with regards to strength. If the insects summoned are of the same type as the existing cloud, they may be added to the cloud, up to around two plagues' worth.
- Granny Lipintense's Layer of Lard: Stacks with regards to duration.
- Old Bellicus' Brazen Knuckles: Stacks with regards to duration.
- Tongues: Stacks with regards to duration.
- Transcendent Pneumatic Alleviator: Stacks somehow.[research]
- Warm: Stacks with regards to duration.
Some effects can stack, as well. These include:
- Drunkenness: Stacks with regards to duration and severity.
- Knurdness: Stacks with regards to duration.
- Rock powder sprinkled on oneself: Stacks with regards to duration, with the restriction that if you go twenty minutes without renewing it, it will disappear regardless.
