mmm... do you mean add a magic RPG system? Or are we talking actual
metaphysical paranormal control? Because, well, I hate to break it to
you, but as featured as we try to make ColdC we havn't YET figured out how
to get it to do THAT ;)

Login to the Cold Dark, get a programmer character (as an admin) and start
diddling around--make a few toys, etc..

paper-published, no.. otherwise, the ColdC Programmer's manual is good for
reference--but may be confusing for a straight read through (mebbe skim
it, then go back and read it). Its available online at:
