It's a silvery-coloured wall, except for one thing...

That being, if Beethro moves so that there's an unobstructed line, horizontal, vertical or diagonal, towards this magnetic wall, his sword immediately swings to point towards it, no matter which direction it was facing. This swing is automatic, and Beethro cannot move his sword until he steps out of the magnetic wall's line of influence. He may not walk directly away from the wall, either, but diagonally backward is okay. (walls, doors, tar, mimics and monsters will obstruct, but potions, scrolls, checkpoints and pits won't).

If Beethro steps so that there's an unobstructed line between two magnetic wall, then his sword will prefer to point north, then northeast, then east, etc.

Mimics will...mimic...this magnetic sword swing.

I suppose this is what I get for not prying though 17 whole pages full of suggestions, checking every post to see if any had the same idea as me.

*cough*

Er, yeah. My bad, I guess.

Hey, I didn't get mad or anything...why should I? I just pointed it out. But it didn't generate much excitement back then, as you can see. If everyone suddenly gets excited about it now, though, I did want some credit.

Game on,

You don't need to check every single post.
(But if you have free time, it's fun to read some of the really old posts.)

You could use the search feature. For example "magnetic" would have given this older topic. (As long as you don't use too specific words.)
