The Empower Moonblade (EMMO) spell is now live for testing in Prime and Platinum.

Empower Moonblade is a two-slot Psychic Projection metaspell that allows the Moon Mage to store preparation time for a spell. You must first ALIGN to the moonblade and then cast as normal. That will fit the spell into one of the moonblade's nodes. As long as that node is active, the next time you prepare that spell you will instantly be given full prep, at the cost of permanently burning out the node (until the next moonblade, anyway).

Note that this is a change in functionality from the moonblade's old function. It does not save the Attunement cost or cast the spell for you at a pre-set target, but instead sets you to instant prep. You can target it freely, and you must come up with all relevant Attunement / skill / room checks / etc.

Like the previous iteration of this feature, there can be up to three nodes in a moonblade, selectable by the SHAPE command. The amount of nodes in the moonblade is based on the spell's Integrity, but is guranteed to be at least one if you know the metaspell.

Unlike the previous iteration of this feature, non-TM offensive spells can fit in the moonblade. I reserve the right to change this if it proves too insane.

Slight change to how Empower Moonblade functions:

Instead of aligning and then casting a spell, you now capture spells by fully preparing them and then aligning. This should alleviate some of the parser issues that were being reported.
