CAPPOINT
Syntax:
cappoint <player name>
If you are a clan leader, you may use this command to appoint someone to be the clan's historian. The clan historian is responsible for keeping the clan's platform and agenda up to date. A clan can have multiple historians.

CAST
Syntax:
cast <rune combination> [options] cast '<spell name>' [options]
The "cast" command is used to invoke the power of magical spells. There are two main forms of casting: using rune combinations and "common" names for spells. For example, the following two are equivalent:
cast xumuvranind cast 'teleport'
Casting spells requires both knowledge of all of the runes composed by the spell being cast and sufficient mana strength to evoke the magic being intoned.
See also: CANONS · MANA · RUNES
CATCH
If you are proficient in the catch skill, you will have a chance of catching weapons thrown at you providing that you also have skill in throwing that weapon yourself. For example, if someone is throwing a dagger at you, you will only be able to catch it if you are proficient in catch AND in dagger throwing (and even then, your chances will be slim). Should you succeed however, the item will go into your inventory.
If you are skilled with archery and are good with catch, you will also be able to catch an arrow shot at you every once in a blue moon.
Note: If you do not have any hands free, do not expect to catch too many projectiles. Also, should you happen to have BOTH hands free, your chances of catching will be much better than with just one hand free.

CAUSE-CRITIC
This spell causes 5d10 points of damage.

CDECLARE
Syntax:
declare war|peace <clan codename>
This command is used by the clan leader to declare either war or peace with another clan.
Note that if you declare war upon another clan, that clan will AUTOMATICALLY declare war back upon you as well. When vying for PEACE, however, you only stop declaring war upon them. Thus either side can make both sides go to war, but each side must individually declare peace for a lasting peace to be ensured. If either clan is at war with the other, it is legal for members from either clan to PK members from the opposing clan.

CDEFECT
Syntax:
cdefect
Use this command to remove your association with a clan.
CDIPLOMACY
Syntax:
cdiplomacy [clan codename]
This command shows all of the political relationships between all clans. If you supply a codename, only relationships involving that clan will be shown.
CDISBAND
Syntax:
cdisband yes
This command can be used by the leader of a clan to disband the clan altogether. This is a permanent act and so should be taken with careful thought.
If you are a clan leader and would like to leave the clan, but not disband it, cpromote someone else and then cdefect from the clan. This will remove you from the clan while keeping the clan intact.
You must supply the yes operand to verify that you wish to actually disband the entire clan.
See also: CDEFECT · CFOUND · CLANS
CFOUND
Syntax:
cfound <clan codename> <clan name>
This command is used to form a clan. The person issuing the cfound command will become the leader of the clan. The cost of starting a clan is quite high, and will require a large amount of gold and experience points, so do not undertake founding a clan lightly.
A clan codename is a three to five letter codename for your clan. The clan name is the actual name for your clan.

CHAIN
(also LIGHTNING)
This spell will unleash a powerful lightning bolt that will arc from foe to foe, electrocuting as many as it can. However, the bolt becomes weaker as it rips through each foe.

CHANGESTAFF
This spell will convert any magic staff that the wielder is holding into a Treant that will fight for the caster. The staff must have some power left in it for the spell to take effect.
CHANNEL
Syntax:
channel [all|auction|battlefield|muse|gossip|shout|clan] [tell] [beep]
Use this command to either "tune into" or "tune out of" either the auction or gossip channels. It works like a toggle. Only gods can tune out shouts and muses, however. Also, channeling shouts also channels yells as well.
If you are channeling muse, you will not hear thunders and bellows either.
It is also possible to disable other people's ability to tell you things if you use the 'tell' option. This too works like a toggle.
Channeling beeps with the 'beep' option will ensure that when you are beeped (with the beep command), that no audible beeps are actually sounded. Use this option if some undesireable starts to annoy you with beeps. (If they are really annoying, see a god, and they may have their beeping privilege taken away.)

CHAT
Syntax:
chat

When you are in chat mode, you will have a rounded prompt point ")" instead of the pointed command one ">".
To return out of chat mode, simply enter '*chat'.
CHECKERS
Syntax:
checkers checkers reset [chess board layout] checkers remove <position> checkers place <piece name> <position> checkers king <piece name> <position> checkers unking <piece name> <position> checkers <old position> <new position>
The checkers command can be used to manipulate a checkers board should you happen to have one handy.

See also: OFFENSIVE-SPELLS · PROFS · SPELLS
CLANS
Syntax:
clans
This command will list all of the active clans on the mud.
Clans are a collection of players who are allied together. Clans are allowed to go to war with other clans and therefore legally PK the other clan's members. Thus clans provide the mud with a structured way for people to PK each other if that is their desire while at the same time permitting people who do not wish to partake in PK to remain out of it. Repeated bluntly: Do NOT join a clan unless you are mature enough to handle being PKed by other players!
It is not legal for someone in a clan to PK someone who is either not in a clan or is not in a clan that is at war with the playerkiller's own clan.
Unlike groups, clans remain even if the mud shuts down and reboots.

COMBAT
An example of the damage system: The MUD will determine the area of your body that is being attacked. The MUD will generate the hitroll and compare it to your AC. AC is the sum of the AC value(s) of the item(s) in the area being attacked, and your ALL-AC. If the attack gets past your AC, the MUD will compute the total damage done in the attack. The stopping (actual protection) value of the item(s) (if any) covering the area of your body that was attacked will be subtracted from the total damage. Stopping value is the sum of the STOPPING value(s) of the item(s) in the area being attacked, and your ALL-STOPPING. Items with immunities to the form of attack being used are evaluated as infinite STOPPING, and block all damage. Items with a resistance are evaluated as double STOPPING, and items with a susceptibility are evaluated as half STOPPING. The remaining amount of damage (if any) will be subtracted from your remaining hitpoints. If the remaining amount of damage is zero or negative, then no damage will be incurred for that attack.
