[v1.6.0+] Rod of Dissipation

[Zizzo]

One of the things that's been vaguely bugging me about the various changes in 1.6 is that if the Rune of Dissipation is now effectively mandatory, then the player is now effectively limited to four inscriptions (modulo Writ Large, of course). As a stab at mitigating this, I've put together a Rod of DIssipation addon, which changes the Urkis quest reward to the eponymous rod. The rod should be functionally identical to the rune (it even reuses the rune's talent under the hood), but without taking up a precious inscription slot.

[And no, obviously this isn't going into ZOmnibus… ]

[Implementation notes:]

Code: Select all

Hooks:
  Chat:load [to modify the Urkis reward in Linaniil's chat]
  Entity:loadList [to load our Rod of Dissipation definition]

I approve of this. We have some really fun runes now, so this gives more space for that if nothing else.

This rod has the same cooldown as the rune, correct?

20 turns. That's one of the first things I checked.

Affected by Device Mastery?

(shrug) No idea. Do we want it to be? How could I tell, and how would I change it if need be?

nsrr's new QUICK Campaign addon offers the Rune of Dissipation as one of the stage reward choices for completing one of the campaign's stages. Fortunately, it does so via a chat dialog, which we can sneak into and modify to offer our Rod instead. That's going out as v1b.
