Legacy first-generation Wishmaster — kept for veteran practitioners.

v1 View on Marketplace Visit in-world
On this page

Apprentice is a spell HUD for Second Life with more than 20 spells and a networked sensor system. It was first sold as "Wishmaster Version 1", the first all-in-one spell HUD in Second Life. It is now back, by popular demand, as the classic edition of Wishmaster v3: a simple, low-cost way to start casting spells.

Features

  • Cast spells on anyone, anywhere in the region (sim).
  • Scripted for minimal lag.
  • Cast spells from the HUD or with chat commands.

Use the HUD

The Apprentice HUD, closed

The scroll when it is closed. Click the paper to open it.
  • Open or close: click the paper of the scroll.
  • Cast a spell: click a spell name. A menu opens. Choose your target.
  • Change pages: click the arrows at the bottom to go back and forth.
  • TP To Camera: click it to move your avatar to your camera position.

Cast and end spells

You can cast every spell with a chat command or with the HUD buttons. The default chat channel is 9.

To change the channel, type this (replace # with the channel number you want):

Type in local chat
/9 channel = #

To end a spell, click its HUD button again, or type this (replace SPELLNAME with the spell's name):

Type in local chat
/9 end SPELLNAME

Some spells end in a different way. The spell descriptions below tell you when.

Spells

Conveyance

Conveyance and Arcane spells on the Apprentice HUD

The Conveyance and Arcane page.
  • Send Home: teleports the target to their home location.
  • Eject: ejects the target from the parcel.
  • Portal: click Portal to open a menu of targets. Choose a target to open a gateway that takes you straight to them.
  • Hide: hides you by sinking you into the ground.
  • Reveal: a magic arrow points the way to your target in the region. The arrow hovers near you and points toward the target. As you come closer, the arrow floats toward them.

Use Send Home and Eject to remove a troublemaker from your own land. They work from anywhere in the region.

Save and load portal locations

The Save and Load buttons under Portal keep portal locations, so you can travel across the grid.

  1. Go to the place you want to save.
  2. Click Save.
  3. Say a name for the place in local chat, for example Home.
  4. Later, click Load to open a portal to that place again.

Arcane

  • Aura: a shining mist rises around you.
  • Bless: cures you or a friend of curses, hexes and other ailments. It also ends all Curses.
  • Candle: a floating candle circles around you and gives you soft candle light.
  • Kiss: a floating pair of lips gives your target a big kiss.
  • Light: a magic orb rises and lights the area around you.
  • Love: an aura of love surrounds you and your target.
  • Rose: gives your target a rose they can wear.
  • Sense: lets you listen in on private channels to discover hidden intentions.

Eldrich

  • Meteor Storm: meteors rain down on the area around you. They leave craters in the ground and hit anyone in the spell area.
  • Bombardment: orbs of fire crash into the ground around your target and make small, strong explosions.
  • Explosion: the most destructive spell you have. An orb of hellfire glows orange, then explodes when it hits the target. Everyone in the blast is thrown into the sky.
  • Energy Ball: a big explosion near the target pushes everyone away from the blast.
  • Vanquish: use it only in emergencies. A column of light rises from your hand, and the heavens remove the troublemaker in a white light.

Curses

Bless cures and ends every curse.

  • Dwarf: turns the target into a dwarf. Their height is cut in half.
  • Paralyze: a purple beam from your hand stops the target from moving.
  • Gravity: forces your target out of the sky and down to the ground. If they are on a sky platform, they fall to the ground of the region. If they are already on the ground, they are pressed into it.
  • Tree Hex: a living curse floats up from your hand, stares at your target, and turns them into a tree.
  • Binding: binds the target to the ground with ancient glyphs and runes. Demonic stakes hold the curse down, so the target cannot move.
  • Plague: a swarm of insects buzzes around the target and bites them until the target is dead. (Death only happens in areas with health enabled.)
