Straight class magic-users may use the command 'phase' to detect what the
phases of their particular moon is. White-robe mages sense the phase of
Solinari, red-robe mages sense the phase of Lunitari, and black-robes
sense Nuitari.
Everyone can see the phases Solinari and Lunitari at nighttime if the
skies are clear and they are outside.
Phases of moons are important to watch because mages become either more
powerful or less powerful depending on the phase of their particular moon.
Magic-users who are members of the Tower of Sorcery are particularly
attuned to the phases of moons, and are empowered significantly by their
lunar phase when it is in full glow.
