I have saved Silvano's set, but I want to make sure I did it right.

When I copy the spell data, should I copy it from the userdata folder or the spelldata folder?

And when Im pasting it back, where and what do I paste back?

I was wandering through the support forum when I came across an interesting post on someones idea about making a new part of TEF called The Black Forest where it would be dark and the trees would be closer. In which wolves will attempt to ambush your deer and chase it down, if you were to be killed by a wolf your deer will transform into a wolf itself, and you would try to kill another deer in order to return to you return to your original state. But the wolves can not leave the Black Forest. But of course the are some major flaws in this idea.

1. TEF is supposed to be somewhat light-hearted, adding predators and "killing" other deer just would not fit into TEF

2. It would be very laborous and time consuming to create another part of the forest along with correct wolf movements and having to make them playable.

3. Wolves are very popular animals among people (including myself) therefore the majority of the players will spend most of the time in that one area, leaving the rest of the forest deserted and those not wishing to go into the Black Forest rather lonely.

Now, I have an idea that still supports the main point of the Black Forest but is quite altered to a degree. At least once a month the gods will summon a thunderstorm (at a time of choosing) in which it will be quite dark. During the thunderstorm players will be stalked and chased by a "phantom-like" deer which I have given the name The Wraith. If a deer was to be "caught" by The Wraith it would have a spell cast on it, I have some theories of what the spell will do, perhaps giving the player's deer bizarre or scary hallucinations (Which would also be viewable by the player to a certain degree, I have no wish to scare players too much) for around 15 seconds, by then The Wraith would likely looking for another victim and the deer would be snapped out of the trance. This idea would be able to entertain the player's desire of thrill while keeping the experience free from gore.

[center][=10]Name - Tegami (Teh-gah-mee)

Gender - Doe

Picture - Coming soon!

Age - Young-ish adult

Pelt - White, with a black wing pattern, with red-orange spots

Eyes - Dark blue

Face/Human - Thin, flat face, no real defining features. A medium sized, rather pointy nose, thin but wide eyes, and medium-thin lips.

Face/Deer - Same as human face.

Set - Secretary pelt, fan antlers, hands mask.


Family - Split up from her birth parents at a young age by a pack of wolves, Lorrel is her adoptive mother.

Friends - Lorrel, no one else as of yet.

Mate - No one, not really interested.

History - Coming soon.

Likes - Flowers, rain, sitting by the pond, Lorrel, being left alone, running.

Dislikes - Being the center of attention, being over-mothered, very hot or very cold days, fog, sudden noises.

Fears - Wolves, insects, being challenged.

Personality - Tegami is a very introverted deer, and isn't very social at all. She has never been, and never wants to be the center of attention. She tends to get lost easily, since she's a daydreamer, and can often be seen wandering idly around the forest. She'll constantly look at the ground when walking, and this can lead to her bumping into things a lot. She can be rather clumsy, and apologizes obsessively if she's done something wrong.

[=9]I believe that I am right when I say I have never felt this empty. Whatever happened to me in the past always seemed like a blur, but today my feelings were clearer than ever. I do not know what caused this sudden grief and sorrow, but it struck me hard. Hard and painful like a poisoned arrow. A pain that keeps on lingering and slowly kills you from the inside.

I will spare you the experience that has scarred my soul for good, for I know that it will not add anything to your lives. Your happy, frolicking lives. Just like the couple I watched today, dressed in beautiful golden pelts, that lit up in the light of the shining sun.
They were running and jumping, laughing and touching each other. Yes, touching each other. I envied the little nuzzled they shared, even if it did not last long. Do you know why? Would you care at all, dear reader? I am afraid not, but still I am willing to open my heart a bit and share it with you. In all honesty, I feel the need to vent a bit, hoping it will make me feel better. Even though it will not.

I will not touch and will not be touched, by anyone. The brushing of one’s fur against mine is something I do not treasure. In fact, it disgusts me. Deeply, to the core. Ever since what he did to me I cannot bare to feel a stag’s touch again. He scarred me. He tainted me. He destroyed me from the inside and took my ability to love. To trust. Just because he sought power. Power that was insignificant to me anyway.

EDIT: Okay, I'm going to go on ahead and post the flyer. Hope to see you all there!

Hey guys!

It's been a little while since our last official gathering, and with summer starting I think it's high time we had some fun! Some of your may remember our NYE Festival of lights, where we passed the light throughtout a very special holiday-themed Endless Forest, and I was thinking of an event along the same lines - one which will let us interact with the entire "In Forest" community.

Back in February, our friend Quamar held an awesome Gathering of Small Animals (GoSA) that was terrific fun. The idea was to have your deer transformed into a tiny critter (dove, bat, squirrrel, frog) and then to frolick about the forest. Our gathering would be similar, but with a twist - the tiny animals regroup at the many mushroom circles to get more transformation spells, and then turn all of the deer in the forest into tiny animals!

This will obviously require some committed volunteers to keep it going, so I am asking all of our Lightbringers for as much time and support as you feel you can offer. I was thinking of holding this on Saturday June 27, which will give us lots of time to spread the word. This date is not set in stone, so your feedback as to timing wil be much appreciated.

Let me know what you think - and keep spreading the Light!
