The skill of pranks is an amusing mish-mash of acrobatic abilities, strange-and-amusing abilities involving props like balloons, mice, and jack-in-the-boxes, and the science of bomb-making.

Runaway | Make a swift retreat. | |

Envenom | Coat a weapon in venoms. | |
Syntax: | ENVENOM <weapon> with <venom> WIPE <weapon> | |
Details: | With this ability, you may layer venoms on an edged weapon. Each time that weapon hits somebody, one venom will poison your opponent, and disappear from the weapon.

Once you are juggling, you may throw the items you're juggling at a greatly decreased cost in balance. JUGGLED will show you what, if anything, you are juggling. Be aware that juggling comes with an endurance drain and, no matter how nimble your fingers, you are not adept enough to juggle bombs. |
Webbomb | Explode strands of webbing to bind everyone in the room. | |
Syntax: | CONSTRUCT WEB BOMB THROW BOMB <direction>/AT GROUND | |
Required: | 1 rope | |
Works against: | Adventurers and room | |

Vent | Sometimes you have to just let it all out. | |
Syntax: | VENT <target> | |
Works against: | Adventurers | |
Cooldown: | 2.10 seconds of balance | |
Details: | The humourless can sometimes just be too much. By venting your frustration upon them, tomorrow can be a brighter day! You'll slap the stupid into them and make them a stuttering fool, that you will. |
Badjoke | Strip defences with your terrible jokes alone. | |
Syntax: | BADJOKE | |
Required: | 100 mana | |
Works against: | Adventurers, denizens, and room | |
Cooldown: | 3.00 seconds of equilibrium | |
Details: | This ability will induce the desire to slap you in those who hear your jokes, causing them to lose the rebounding aura and shield defences. Note that other jesters are already so familiar with terrible jokes that this ability will not work on them. |
Mickey | Slip someone a mickey. | |
Syntax: | SLIP <target> MICKEY | |
Works against: | Adventurers | |
Cooldown: | 2.00 seconds of balance | |
Details: | After obtaining a mickey from the Props ability, you can slyly slip the mickey to someone, which will cause that person to eat the mickey instead of the next herb he intends to eat, making him sick. |
Traps | The ability to search for traps in your location. | |
Syntax: | TRAPS | |
Works against: | Room | |
Cooldown: | 3.00 seconds of balance | |

Works against: | Room | |
Cooldown: | 4.00 seconds of balance | |

Syntax: | SOMERSAULT <direction> | |
Cooldown: | 4.00 seconds of balance | |
