CMud Charge Shield

This is a simple script that will prompt you which spell you wish to charge a shield with. Designed for hero level shields, but will work with lower-level shields.

The script includes a counter to show how many castings it took, as well as a current damage status, prompting you to get your shield repaired below 80% hit points.

The Script

This script is in two parts. The first is in the class "Chargeshield" and will be disabled by default. The second part needs to be saved to any active class (I use "Base") and will enable the "Chargeshield" class when the alias Chargeshield is run.

Save the following two blocks of code as a separate .xml files, and import it into Cmud:

Part one
