Advanced Spellbooks and Locking Spell Icons
1. Advanced Spellbooks-These spellbooks have had a slight makeover. When you open one, you'll see a blue dot, the spell name and a small scroll icon. When you click on the blue dot, it will immediately cast the spell and close the book. If you click on the scroll, it will open a large scroll with spell info and at the bottom a place for you to enter in a hotkey. To set a hotkey, type in the key you wish to cast the spell with and click the blue dot at the bottom.
The scroll that opens will also have a cast button you can click to cast the spell. You can leave the scroll open and cast from it repeatedly, but as soon as you click on another scroll for another spell, it will replace the one you had out. If you click on the spell icon on the large scroll, you will get a window that will allow you to place the spell icon wherever you want on your screen and it will be locked in place. This spell button can only be removed by clicking on the red dot in the top right corner. Setting a spell icon out on your desktop also makes it a single-click cast, instead of a double-click. See the following section for more information about locking your spell icons in place. Those wishing to use the new spellbooks and the locking spell icon system can purchase an Advanced Spellbook deed from any Mage Vendor or Holy Mage. (NOTE: The original spellbooks are still present and players can choose to keep them, or drop them in the trash. The new Spellweaving Spellbook will be given out when the Spellweaving quest has been completed from Heartwood.)
2. Locking Spell Icons-To go along with the new spellbooks, the spell icons from the spellbook scrolls can be locked down on your desktop. When you click on a spell icon from the spellbook scroll, you will get a window that appears which will allow you to specifically place your spell icon.
Further analyzing the window, you will see four arrows, up, down, left, and right, in addition to the arrows are three textboxes where numbers can be entered in. The top textbox is your horizontal location, and the bottom textbox is your vertical location. The center textbox is used to increase or decrease your movement by the number you enter in the textbox. Once you type in a number, simply click the arrows to move the spell icon around your screen. Once the icon is where you want it, click the Apply button. If you don't click apply, the spell icon will disappear when you close the icon movement window. If you are placing multiple icons, you can save time by entering in a set of location numbers in the top and bottom textboxes, then by clicking the Move button. The icon will move to that location, and you can continue to adjust it by changing the number in the center textbox. This can be done for all spells in the new spellbooks.
