Abashi's Dispell - Abolish Enchantments [ID-1792]

[Daldaen]

From April 2001 spdat:

Abolish Enchantment
Cancel Magic + 9 levels


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Classes: None

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Range to Target: 100 feet

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Skill: Evocation
Allowable Targets: All

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Resistance Check: None

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recast Delay: 12.0 seconds

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When someone casts: Soandso arches its back.
Spell cast on you: You feel your skin freeze.
Spell cast on someone: Soandso's skin freezes.


At this point in our timeline... Abolish Enchantments should be 1-single slot debuff and be limited to only 100' range.

I'm working on narrowing down when they changed this spell from 1->3 slot and 100-> 250' range. Some time between April 2001 and March 2002.

But in its first form, this click should blow.

should also be instant cast then

Umm, the last i knew the proc was Triggered not random. The cast time was upped from Instant to like 2 - 3 seconds.

This is a right click dispell that dispells ONE of your buffs. At first it was instant cast and unlimited charges, but it now has a casting time. It was so rediculously overpowered for pvp (and in general) that there was no way they could have left it alone. Still a great beat stick. looks like velium brawl stick.

looks like sometime in/around November 2001 they changed the click to be from instant to 3 second cast time, and increased the number of dispel slots from 1 to 3, this post says 4 but supports the idea that it's more than 1

11/8/2001:
The proc on this weapon dispells 4 of the weilder's buffs each time it procs. Yah, It's uber, but only if you don't need buffs.

the range was also changed to be at least higher than 100 around this time, as another post from..

3) The effect on it is NOT a proc. It does NOT harm you. It it a right click, 200 range dispell. It happens to be an outstanding item for pulling.

another post for the November 2001 spdat..

tl;dr until around November 2001 it should be an instant cast 1 slot dispel range 100, November 2001 it should become 3 second cast 250 range 3 slot dispel

my assumption is that when they had the mass update on weapons in october? 2001 they also changed the effect, but the earliest evidence we have of it being the current iteration is November 2001

This seems logical.

Launch - October 2001 --- 1 slot dispell, instant, 100 range
October - End of Server --- 3 slot dispell, 3 sec cast, 250 range
