|}
This useful ability allows you to charge your quarterstaff with sunlight energy from your Grove, which can then be drained back into the Grove at a later date, or discharged in the form of a beam of flame and magic.

What's more, a quarterstaff can only hold a maximum of 6000 units. To see how many units your quarterstaff is currently charged with, simply probe it.

If there are any players in the trees in your Grove, this will shake them out.

Using this ability, you may rise into the trees with this ability. Once there, you may travel normally, using DOWN to leave the trees.

Watch

Syntax:
GROVE WATCH/UNWATCH

This strange ability will allow you to share a mental kinship with others in your Grove. It will cause you to receive much information that would normally be seen only by the individual players in your Grove. UNWATCH will stop you watching again.

Cease

Syntax:
GROVE CEASE ALL
GROVE CEASE <skill>

This command will stop all or individual powers from running in your grove. The following skills may be turned off if they are running:

Thorns, Watch, Forestwatch, Cage, Screen, Hypercure, Barrier, Concealment, Rain, Entangle, Roots, Channel, and Seal.

Eject

Syntax:
GROVE EJECT

With this ability, you may cause the wilderness in your Grove to throw out all in it, save for yourself.

Cage

When activated, this ability will cause you to return to your Grove from anywhere in the forest.

Whisper

Syntax:
GROVE WHISPER <player> <text>

At a small cost of grove sunlight, whisper a message to the room a player is standing in.

Eyes

Syntax:

Grove eyes will, like GROVE WHO, tell you who is in the forest, with the added advantage of telling you where in the forest they are.

Forestwatch

Syntax:
GROVE FORESTWATCH ALL/LOCAL/OFF

This ability will allow you to know anytime a player enters or exits from the forest.

Seal

Syntax:
GROVE SEAL

For one Aetolian month, this ability will seal off your Grove from nighttime energy loss.

Vigour

Syntax:

With a sharpened quarterstaff you may STAB your target. You may also QUARTERSTAFF BLUNT to remove the sharpened end.

Spinning your quarterstaff will provide you an aura of protection against both physical and magical damage.

Tapping your quarterstaff will provide you with a lightsource.

Whirling your quarterstaff will cleanse the air around you, removing noxious fumes.

Flailing your quarterstaff will also provide you with an aura of protection against physical and magical damage. This is more effective against physical damage than spinning your quarterstaff, but less effective against magical.

This useful ability allows you to charge your quarterstaff with sunlight energy from your Grove, which can then be drained back into the Grove at a later date, or discharged in the form of a beam of flame and magic.

What's more, a quarterstaff can only hold a maximum of 6000 units. To see how many units your quarterstaff is currently charged with, simply probe it.
