I think this is a very good idea. It won't exactly work with my MUD (maybe
I should start a second mud...). You could also get items involved more
with spells (artifacts). You could end up with some balance problems
though. It wouldn't be long before someone realized that "Library of
Leng(Ling?)" is a very good object to have. Magic: The Gathering is a
very complex game . Coding a MUD based on it wouldn't be impossible just
somewhat difficult. There are a lot of things to consider when trying to
make a MUD like this but I think it would be worth the trouble.
