[MUD-Dev] Re: evil - good realism

[S. Patrick Gallaty]

Allow there to be quests which would 'purify' or 'corrupt' the items
in question.  The items in question would be like :
Templars sword of power (corrupted)

Cleric spells of each alignment that would 'Bless' or 'Curse' items.

Ways for each side to 'sacrifice' the items for power.

Items that can be used in different ways for each side - e.g. a staff of
healing that turns into a staff of harm if the evil user holds it.  A ring of light
that turns into a ring of darkness would be another obvious thought.
