Thanks for the amazing work on the storm weapon script update! The loresong mechanic by itself could be an auction quality item! (For those who don't know, it creates a storm in the entire region for several minutes)
I do have a question- what factors into the success of the Call Wind mechanic? Is there anything the wielder can do to enhance success rates?
And, any easter eggs owners should be on the lookout for?
Thanks again- seriously love that thing!

.... bit of a tangential question.
The ability of these weapons to make a storm in the region - is this why it seems to have been blizzarding in Landing for the past several days seemingly nonstop? Just wondered if this was a specific GM contrivance or if something may have been broken in the length of the weapon-created storms, if this is the cause of the nonstop Landing snow. Do we know exactly how long the storms are supposed to last?
It took me a bit to get rid of the kneejerk reaction that storm = invasion the past few days due to the seemingly endless snowing.
And also it seems to be snowing in Vipershroud, which is altogether amusing.

Weather patterns, bah! ;) Those horrible weather patterns always seem to foretell death and destruction.
(And it just seemed coincidental that the release of a Storm-creating weapon and the sudden appearance of a snowstorm that seemed not to end - wasn't sure if it was connected! Landing should be under 20 feet of snow by now, I swear.)

Snow has always (recently, at least) come and gone in the Winter.
That said, I do think it's odd to have the Storm weapons make it rain when it's already snowing. The loresong gives messaging that says it's already stormy, but the rain still comes down anyway.
Strong gusts of wind whip about the area, the howling drowned out only by the guttural sounds of thunder. The incoming darkness is pierced by bolts of bright lightning, the sky opening to release a torrent of rain.

A heavy snow falls, sculpting everything into round white curves.
Maybe the messaging at the end could be changed to something other than rain that would encompass snow as well?
