Does this card exist?

Is there any card currently in manalink that you activate to produce more than 1 color of mana (at once)? I want to build Signets and Karoos, but I'm not sure the engine can properly handle multiple colors of mana from one permanent in one activation.

Not in a single permanent, but things like Wild Growth make lands produce X+G to your mana pool; maybe you can "Chain" that in a single card.

all cards that produce mana must be added into another list inside magic.exe also... this is why cabal coffers didn't have the small black slash over it's top...

At 0043574B you will find a list of cmps, comparing the card with the ID (same if of manalink.csv), and jumping to places that define what mana that card can generate...
New IDs of mana source must be added on 004D8390 (is a list of cmp to...)

Just to help a bit

0043578B 3D88040000 cmp eax, $488 <- star compass ID
00435790 744C jz +$4c ($004357de)
00435792 3D3E010000 cmp eax, $13e <- fellwar stone ID
00435797 7445 jz +$45 ($004357de)


I'm just pointing this, 'cause maybe you need to make a 'dimir aqueduct' jmps to same place of a 'underground sea', and then, try to add a black mana and a blue mana to pool when tapped...

I got Tolarian Academy to use a blue slash without doing all that work. I just made the card blue... this is how Tolaria worked already.

But tolaria counts as a spell... Maybe it would be better not to have that slash and behave like a land.

Counts as a spell? How? I hadn't noticed.

Weird. Anyway, no problem with that for me. Tolarian Academy has the slash and works like a land. I think I have the signets working correctly, too. Karoos are turning out to be tougher than expected, though.
