*Scratches head* never really figured out to do it, though.  I've never had a game last long enough to try.

[Gabriel]

And the question arises: if you can't cast spells, can you enchant anything with a spell effect, and how? It's been FOREVEr since I looked at that rule set.

[ROOTless]

Enchanting only makes foci.

[Retread]

Naw, you'd need sorcery, and adepts can't get that.

[AJStarhiker]

Unless, of course, you're a mage adept, right?

[Capt_North]

Checking out books i just got an idea.. if one was to Dikote the inside of a shotgun barrel.. would that solve the problem generally found with Dragons breath rounds? or would the heat from the rounds still cause the barrel to warp? and if not, could you also do the same with some heavy machine guns or such that tend to overheat...?

[Gabriel]

You know, Captain, that's a damn good question. I don't think anyone's ever thought of that. I wouldn't let dikoting negate the effects you mentioned, but you could probably help them out. For instance, if those fireball rounds warp the barrell after X number of shots, then double the number. Something like that.

I have to admit I don't remember the heat conduction characteristics of diamond, but i think they're rather poor though.

[Ruski]

yea, you can burn a diamond pretty easy...

a Diamonds thermal conductivity..

Thermal Conductivity: Superb. 5-25 Watts/centimeter-degreesC (at 300 K). 4 times greater than copper, an excellent thermal conductor.

Electrical Conductivity: 0 to ~ 100 ohm-cm (resistivity at 300 K), an insulator.

So... heat it just pretty much transfers easily... eletricity its a very expensive insulator...

least these are the store type diamonds.. what they are explaining might be bit different..

[ROOTless]

Ah, very good. Then there's a good chance it'd work swell.

[AJStarhiker]

I know industrial-grade diamonds are used for drill bits.

[ROOTless]

Ofcourse.

[Ruski]

a little known fact about that though... you have to run water over the dimond bits; so that they don't burn up as you use them.

(I sell them at my work)

I'd heard they use mud
