On the guide it says it "Affects Literacy; may affect Mana or PP regen rate" but is this a negative effect or positive and does cooking it help? |

I'm not sure, but I wuold say that it increases literacy if not cursed, and decreases it if cursed. "I don't know what World War 3 will be fought with, but I know World War 4 with be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein |

I read the exact specifics from an RGRA post a while back, here's what I can remember: Cursed: grants literacy if illiterate, lowers literacy skill if literate, very small chance of + a few PP. Uncursed: grants literacy if illiterate, small chance of +1 mana, small chance of + a few PP Blessed: grants literacy if illiterate, slightly larger chance of + 1 mana, fair chance of + a few PP I doubt cooking has any effect. What do you wish for? wands of cat repellent_ |

Fairly close, here are the specifics: If you don't have the literacy skill, then you'll gain literacy (somewhere between 20 and 39) if the corpse is blessed, you also have a chance to get +1 Learning (based on how high your learning already is, under 21 is 100%) If it's cursed, you get -5d5 literacy. In addition to the literacy effects, the dark sage is a spellcaster so it has a chance to give you some PP or Mana: 1/6 chance for mana no matter what the status is. Cursed: 5% chance for+2d3PP Uncursed: 25% chance for +2d3PP Blessed: 50% chance for +2d3PP Here's the compact, formula-rifict version: Dark Sage: [Cursed:5%:+2d3PP; Uncursed:25%:+2d3PP; Blessed:50%:+2d3PP], 16.7%:+1Ma, NotCursed:DontHaveLiteracySkill:[Gain LiteracySkill = 1d20+19, Blessed:(+1Le)]; ELSE:Cursed:LiteracySkill -5d5 |
