<section begin=customblink />'''Custom Blink''' is a type of [[advanced spell customization]] that changes portions of the messaging associated with the [[Blink (1215)]] spell. Pre-written custom blink message sets are available at various [[festival]]s, [[pay event]]s, and at [[Bayview Villa]] on [[Mist Harbor]]. Fully custom blink message sets are a [[delayed service]] when the player is writing their own. Custom blink is part of the [[Player Customization System]] and is managed via the {{boldmono|[[Verb:CUSTOM|CUSTOM]]}} verb.

Custom blink sets consist of first and third person messaging for three portions of the spell. Only the italicized portions can be customized:
<pre{{log2}}>
'''Initial cast, 1P:''' A momentary eruption of ''inky shadows'' engulfs you'', eclipsing your vision in inky blackness. As the gloom parts,'' double images of the world sway dizzyingly around you before regaining solidity.
'''Initial cast, 3P:''' A momentary eruption of ''inky shadows'' emanates from Character's hand and ''engulfs him. Shadows eclipse Character's form, obscuring him in an inky blackness. As the thick gloom parts,'' double images of Character shiver slowly together into solidity.

'''Triggering, 1P:''' Your head rings like a struck bell as ''darkness'' explodes across your field of vision. You find yourself moved several feet from your original position!
'''Triggering, 3P:''' Suddenly, ''starlit darkness'' engulfs Character and he vanishes, reappearing several feet away instantaneously!

'''Wearing off, 1P:''' ''Shadows seep from your skin in waves of gloom that pool briefly upon the ground before dispersing like fog before the light of day.''
'''Wearing off, 3P:''' ''Shadows seep from Character's skin in waves of gloom that pool briefly upon the ground before dispersing like fog before the light of day.''
</pre>

Examples of custom blink messaging include the following set associated with a ''silvery smoke-filled jar'' from the [[Ebon Gate]] prize hoppers:
<pre{{log2}}>
'''Casting, 1P:''' A momentary eruption of a mercurial puff of smoke engulfs you, blinding you momentarily. As your vision returns, double images of the world sway dizzyingly around you before regaining solidity.
'''Casting, 3P:''' A momentary eruption of a mercurial puff of smoke emanates from Character's hand and engulfs him, covering Character completely from head to toe. As the puff of smoke dissipates, double images of Character shiver slowly together into solidity.

'''Triggering, 1P:''' Your head rings like a struck bell as a mercurial puff of smoke explodes across your field of vision. You find yourself moved several feet from your original position!
'''Triggering, 3P:''' Suddenly, a mercurial puff of smoke engulfs Character and he vanishes, reappearing several feet away instantaneously!

'''Wearing off, 1P:''' Your body becomes moist for a moment as the silvery smoke envelops you completely before evaporating into nothingness.
'''Wearing off, 3P:''' A mercurial puff of smoke appears to douse Character with condensation before immediately evaporating into nothingness.
</pre>
