Spells etc.

I think instead of pointing and clicking a spell, You should find the ingredients or Regs or Componenents or whatever you want to call it to make the spell. Then you either move your mouse in a patter maybe like a circle and it casts the spell, or in the text box,  you type in the spell name for example:

(cheesy, but im not the one coming up with the names, its just a example)

/spell Flamus Ballus Korpus
and the spell is cast and you just point or aim where you need it to go.

regeants has been discussed before i think. the majority of us agreed that we did not like the idea of regeants/components for spells.

[Voldengrath]

aww, it makes it more fun oh well ill adapt.
guess when im out running around creating havoc ill have one thing less to worry about - Comps

[Fanomatic2000]

No, you shouldn\'t have to walk around and find the ingredients just to cast a spell. It would ruin all the fun.
I would rather see a magic meter that recharges constantly. A wizard is a wizard! (However I think it would be cool if you could make your own potions and antidote with different types of ingredients)

(However I think it would be cool if you could make your own potions and antidote with different types of ingredients)

That would be called alchemy, which it appears is already implemented in the game.

As for regeants and components I feel that for certain spells it could be understandable to have to have a certain item in order to cast such a crystal or some gem.  Also for summoning spells I would not be against components.

One thing that I would like to see though is the ability for PCs to craft their own spells, although I doubt it would happen.

[Elethior]

Maybe regeants and components should make spells more powerfull, but they should not be necessity for spells. Maybe some more powerfull spells could require rare regeants and components. Maybe regeants and components should vary in their strenght of powering?
So some common regeants could power up spells just little, but more rare regeants could power up spells a lot.
Powering up would be seen in damage, range, duration, etc...

[Fanomatic2000]

No, I think that ingredients should stay at \'alchemy\'.
I mean a wizard gets better the more experience he gets. The better you magiclvl is, the better your spells will get. This would then be seen in damage, range, duration, and so on.
Your magic meter and your stamina should fall when you cast a spell, but it will always regenerate. If you are interested in weapons with limited ammo you should become a \'ranger\' or something. You should be able to add poison and other \"add-ons\" to your arrows, darts, bolts.

I think you are going to learn the magics at a school or something and pay the school (if there is 1)some money to learn the spell ofcourse you need magic levels to learn spells too

The only school I know of is, Link School of Grammar, and half the people in this thread are going to it!

[Voldengrath]

Maybe other players can teach or show other players how to learn spells. like \'train\' them

[Vladamir]

The idea of having characters be able to teach each other spells is a good idea, but you\'d have to make sure that you have a high enough spell level to cast that spell first.  So someone with a level of 3 can\'t cast a level 9 spell his friend taught him.  

People should have to get a set about of experience to get an ability point or something like that, and then they could go to a trainer or school to have someone teach them.

[Arida]

I think its a good idea for other people to teach others how to use the spells, so maybe a level 3 can\'t cast a level 9 spell, but wouldn\'t it be helpfull if someone who is a level 9 could train a level 3 till that person becomes like a level 9.  I certainly wouldn\'t mind the help.  I always think it would be kind of cool if there was like certain keys on the keyboard that you had to type before you could cast a spell or something like that, to make it more interesting.  You\'d have to learn different keys for each spell.

I dont think thats a good idea cuz then it will be to simple to learn spells. i think training with swords on each other will be a better idea.

PS:WTF is LINKS SHOOL OF GRAMMAR??? ?(

[Dustman]

I think it should be Link\'s School of Grammar   never forget to make it possessive other wise you\'ll be using your name as an adjective. .  hehe

PEACE
