oh, another one, in the wake of Ryo's post: - if the couple is in neighbouring squares (alternatively, if they're within a distance smaller than their level; alternatively, if they're in the same map), then word of recall affects both. This can get annoying if the intention was *not* to teleport both, so it can probably be implemented as a different spell, or maybe just by casting the spell in the direction of the partner ("firing" it). best, Lalo Martins -- My personal formula for efficiency is to arrange problems in such a way that they solve each other. -- http://www.exoweb.net/ mailto: lalo at exoweb.net GNU: never give up freedom http://www.gnu.org/
