I'd still be against it. It just defeats the propose of a well planned out area to pop in whereever you want. But thats never stoped people from many of the additions they've made to diku that I think destroy the atmosphere of the game.

Even poor innocent lv 1's that wander thru unknowingly? Or players that are only at 10hp anyway and wander thru, lose 5hp, and then get full healed back up to 400hp? There are alot of holes, and if the spell is worthwhile people will use it. I dont think its a good idea, but if you like it, by all means go code it.
