It's not hexable to my knowledge. However, there IS a get-around. You can take an existing magic class and give it to the new one, then class restrict all the scrolls for both the original magic group and the new one. It's a pain, but it works. It has a few downfalls though. First, scrolls won't give the "(Too Powerful)" bit while in the store. They WORK right, but the too powerful is gone. Which always leads to retards trying to read a "scroll of HORRIBLE BLEEDING ARMAGEDDON DEATH" with their lvl 1 and bitching for 10 minutes about how it's broken and you suck. Of course, that problem might only occur if you strip the spells themselves of their magic class so you can have classes with multiple spell groups, which is what I always do. The other problem is you're restricted to the original basic magic stats. In other words, the spells can be charm, int, wisdom, or int/wisdom based but not.. say... strength. I've never tried it, but I imagine you could do it with KAI too, but you'd have to strip the current KAIs of their magic group and put them on mystic-restricted scrolls and do the same with the new group. Big pain in the ass. Gotta add a new store on top of going through and editting 50 spells/items...

I wasn't shure if it was possible to hex it in but when I was screwing around with wccmmud.dll in hexworkshop I noticed around address line 0007AAD6 that theres a list of magery groups starts with none and goes through each type ending at kai. That got me thinking about the possibility of being able to do it.

Actually...you cannot do that with kai...kai powers are given at level and to create a new kai type spell would automatically give that power/spell to the mystic as well as the kai class you may have created...i tried this once...major pain in the ass....

Sorry, I was half asleep and not being clear... I meant to take the spells out of the KAI group altogether and into the item/monster group like the forms, then put them on class restricted scrolls. Should work.
