|

There are a few options: |
9 |
The right-click context menu in the L<Inventory|playerbook_inventory> reveals |
10 |
B<ignite/thaw>, which will ignite something or thaw icecubes. |
11 |
You will need a B<flint & steel> L<$ARCH/light/flint_and_steel.base.111.png> for this |

An alternative would be to use the L<mark|command/mark> and L<apply|command/apply> |
15 |
commands like this: |
16 |
|
17 |
mark icecube |
18 |
apply flint and steel |

If you need to something do this often, I recommend using the L<Bind |
21 |
Recorder|binding_recorder>. |

If this is not an option, the following Setup options reduce the load and |
30 |
will likely make the client playable with software rendering (it will |
31 |
still be slow, though): |
