Creator kill is for registered creators testing monsters in their own
loaded area, in the same room. It cannot target players, pets or mounts.
Physical resistance and special damage behavior still apply, so some
monsters may survive. Your monster files are unchanged.
Example: creator kill guard
Use this to test drops and what happens after a fight. Test combat
difficulty separately without it, and mention its use in your playtest
notes.
Creator identify reveals a carried weapon or piece of armour and shows the
channeler's identification report, immediately and for free. Use look
<item> or inventory afterwards to check its identified appearance. You
can repeat the command to read the report again. It is only available to
registered creators on the playtest server and changes the carried item,
not its source or newly created copies.
creator identify sword
Creator shield absorbs incoming damage while monsters keep fighting. It
does not heal you or stop combat. It lasts until switched off or you log
out. Use it to observe attacks, then switch it off to test combat
difficulty. Mention its use in your playtest notes.

Creator vision previews a race's natural light limits and infravision,
without changing your race, stats or light allergies. It overrides
existing vision bonuses until reset or logout. Room lighting, blindness
and rooms that always allow or prevent sight still apply.
Examples:
creator vision human
creator vision dark elf
creator vision reset
The creator tool is the area editor at https://icesus.org/create/, and it
opens to a plan rather than to a request: tell a wizard what the place
is, who it is for and where it sits, and if they agree to it they can
open the editor to you. You log in there with this character's name and
password; 'creator status' then shows what you have underway.
