Report #1783
Skillset: Night Skill: Cauldron
 Org: Glomdoring Status: Submitted Aug 2017
Problem: Shadowdancer cauldrons need to be filled with shadows to be of use--
they can only be gathered at night, and take power to siphon (so it can be a
time-consuming process when starting from scratch). Cauldrons also have a decay
timer, which means that they will fall apart after a certain period of time.
While you can, of course, make a new cauldron, any shadows from the old cauldron
are lost forever and the process must be started anew.
[A:12 R: 0] Solution #1: Add a CAULDRON REPAIR syntax. It costs the same 10p
 as CAULDRON CREATE, and requires that you have your
 cauldron in your inventory. This will reset the
 decay timer as if you had just created a new
 cauldron, but retain the shadows.

Per Xenthos, cauldron max capacity is 101 shadows (gathered at 1-2 per depending
on if you have Nightkiss up). There is no comm cost to create the cauldron. If
there were no cap I would be worried, but as is I see no reason not to allow
this.

Seems very much like a quality of life report. Just saves you spending 60+ power
when your cauldron is decaying. Costs 10 instead to repair.

Well, I have to correct this a little more since there's a little extra
confusion based on Crek's input before I answered. It is 3p to gather without
Nightkiss, 1p to gather with Nightkiss. It's being a -Nightwraith- that gathers
2 shadows per gather instead of 1 shadow per gather. Either way, it's just a
matter of being able to repair your cauldron so you're not sitting stuck with no
shadows because you spent a lot of time gathering and then your cauldron went
*poof*.

Removing something that is a pain in the arse? Has my support

Sounds like it's a pain in the butt to use now. Sure, supported
