I had an idea that will probably only be considered way far into the future for a RW spell. Its been in my head for a long time, and I figured I might as well present it on the forums. (link me the topic if its been said before and ill just bump that one)
Self Destruct (name debatable): Realm 3-4 spell that upon death, causes you to discharge an AOE damaging effect. You MUST die for this spell to activate, but you can deactivate it if you find yourself not needing it anymore. (Maybe with some kind of penalty to prevent every RW mage just using it whenever to discourage attackers)
Now, you must be wondering 'Well then wont every RW mage just wait and use it at the very last second to screw over their attacker?'. You'd be right, but there's where a debuff would come it
Upon casting the spell, in the little buff/debuff window under debuffs 'Charging' or something similar would be listed. And every few seconds you'd take damage depending on the % you put into the spell, essentially dooming yourself if you just let it run. But, the longer it stays on you, the more the spell charges up. From being relatively weak if you were to do it at the last moment, to a powerful bomb if you started it at full health. That should prevent some abuse of it.
(MODIFIED DUE TO BETTER SUGGESTIONS): It might be best to have a new Explosion glyph required for the spell, and a combination of Explosion+Humanoid.
Questions? Comments? Death threats? Suggestions? Shoot!

If you want a timed blast, there is no need for playing kamikaze. Take some object (for exampled call it a blast pie), and enchant it with delayed effect. Something along the lines of Object + Sleep + Meteor. Right now the game focuses only on casting stuff on others and on oneself. Casting on items should also be a norm, and such spells exist now (though are all broken, like Dweomer Detection and etc.).
-
Possibly Gilrond, using it on objects might be possible. But the object would need to have not as much power as using it on yourself or there would be just far too much room for abuse. But then again that could almost be considered a different spell entirely and could use its own topic.
Maybe Self Destruct-Other? Object-Flame-Meteor and then Humanoid-Flame-Meteor (since meteor i just now realize is much closer to being interpreted as explosion)
Perhaps a new Explosion glyph that takes a hard quest to get?

like the explosion glyph idea, i can only imagine travosh leaving pie bombs everywhere. poor Lilu.
-
I love it. And I will try very hard never to sneak up on you in the future if it's put in.
-
Let us just all agree to NEVER give it to Esorono. Ever.
EVER.

I'm too slow. Again. But you might want to attend the Magic Fare follow up event. Might collect stuff beforehand from the wishlist.
I like the idea.
And here's the link: There you go. (http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=40242.msg450535#msg450535)

Ill look into attending as soon as I figure out what 20:00:00 is in US midwestern time. Also I'll have to find that book of spell ideas thats supposedly circulating

and this

EVER.
is why this spell should exist.
-
Esorono would never use it, I dont think he uses many spells that stray from dark way.

You must not know Eso if you don't think he wouldn't grab the chance to explode on somebody.

ITT: why Talad isn't fun some times :thumbdown:
Still, that would've been an awesome implementation.
