polypile -> vanish

If you polypile an object, you need to dip it in restore ability to fix it. If you upgrade it instead, will it sill revert to its original type? -Tjr 22:34, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Magic Marker

How many charges will a magic marker created from a crystal ball have? Additionally, what happens if you take a (1:0) magic marker and upgrade it into a crystal ball, then again back to a magic marker? A crystal ball can be recharged any number of times, unlike a magic marker, so could that double-upgrade be used to get an 'endless' ink supply? -- Qazmlpok 13:04, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Wizzmode testing suggests that it's the number of charges the crystal ball had or less; thus, since that is likely to be low (around 5), one would need a lot of scrolls of charging to get much use out of recharging a magic marker that way, not to mention a lot of potions of gain level. In principle, it seems possible though, just impractical. Also, changing a magic marker into a crystal ball will get rid of most of the charges (it reduced it from 50 to 12 in my test). -Ion frigate 15:37, March 1, 2010 (UTC)
