Priestitute: /* fa.ri.of.ar in sizes */ typo fix

Any information yet on how big the clouds can get or their different sizes in order?--[[User:Aell|Aell]] ([[User talk:Aell|talk]]) ([http://discworld.atuin.net/lpc/secure/finger.c?player=aell MUD finger]) 12:40, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
:Exactly the same list of sizes, and in the same order, as [[Dust Devil#Description|Dust Devil]], I believe. Might be worth copying the list over from that page, though... -- [[User:Mishal|Mishal]] ([[User talk:Mishal|talk]]) ([http://discworld.atuin.net/lpc/secure/finger.c?player=mishal MUD finger]) 14:16, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Is it learnt at 100 in fa.ri.mi, or fa.ri.mi.area? The infobox says the first, while the "learnt at" section and table say the second. --[[User:Ilde|Ilde]] 07:31, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Speaks for itself I think. :(
{{Prebox|You get a cured human right eye from a pocket in the black backpack.
It seems somewhat easier to perform totem because you are near profane ground. However, this is somewhat negated by the fact that you are concentrating on controlling a gigantic black cloud.
 You chant the psalm of transformation.

 The gigantic black cloud buzzes viciously.
 Queued command: put cured eye in backpack

 As felix dies, your mind reels in panic, storing every last detail of their existence in an orgy of denial. Perhaps a priest can help you to recover your lost love?}}

It looks like it just did "kill all", then dissipated perhaps a second later (hovering over the lines for the timestamps shows it moving aggressively towards me three seconds after buzzing viciously, and dissipating in the same second).

Notably, I did not get haunted. Hopefully that means that this character isn't marked for croccing (I was in DJB at the time).

ETA: In case it helps anyone else, my potentially-relevant skills were:
*fa.ri.of.ar: 243
*fa.ri.de.ar: 183
*fa.ri.mi.ar: 255

I suspect it was my low de.ar that made that happen, since that's what totem uses.

ETA: They don't always dissipate immediately... maybe it's triggered on them killing something. I had another one attack me from feeding it a corpse, and it stuck around long enough for me to kill it. And again when trying to feed it gp--it fought me for a little while before I lost it.

== fa.ri.of.ar influences sizes ==

It seems like fa.ri.of.ar may have a hand in how big a cloud can get, as my cloud didn't increase from small to average until I boosted the skill to 245-246 bonus
This was with fa.ri.mi.ar bonus at 254.

Can anybody else confirm this finding?
