>>44544255Discworld MUD went for flashy spells that consumed one or more items as magical components but really didn't always do all that much.
For example, Boolywog''s Forbidden Pleasures requires a potato and reasonable levels in three separate skills to summon an incubus/succubus...who would offer you a choice of baked, mashed or fried potato.
Which makes sense, it's the sort of spell a wizard would invent for quality of life. As opposed to most game worlds where you have spells that give you seven varieties of fireball but apparently no wizard cares for a quick way to magic up a beer
