Olympia: The Age of Gods PBEM (May 4 1999)
I will study and get ready, and perhaps my chance will come. Abraham Lincoln
All skills require a study period before they can be put to use. The length of study required depends upon the complexity of the skill being practiced. Generally, the study time is one to four weeks.
To study a skill, the noble should use the study
command
(see study). The argument to the study command is the id
number of the skill to be studied. For example, to study Combat
[121], a noble would give the command:
1: > study 121 1: Will study Combat for seven days. 7: Learned Combat [121]. Skills known: Combat [121]
If a source of instruction (such as a teacher or a book of instruction)
is available and useful, the study
command will automatically
make use of it.
