Spell Name: (MP Cost) Brief but concise description of what the Spell does.

Expanded description of what the Spell does, and/or how you perceive it being used.

For Example:



Healing/with potential for Damage

Heal: (2MP) Heal yourself or one party member by 1 life per a point of Magic.

This Spell is designed primarily for healing yourself or a teammate. It's power is directly proportional to your current Magic Stat. The Higher the Stat, the stronger the effect. A secondary use for this spell could be damage against undead, although currently the rules don't allow for that kind of usage.

1- Taser Bolt: (2MP)

Okay here it goes...

Flame wall was just the name that came to mind first. How about Greater Flame shield? Or Blazing Ageis?

((I'll make it later))

How bout...
Essence-cannon (3Mp, +5 Hp)
Deal damage equal to your magic score x3, plus one damage for every 1 Hp sacrificed. You can only sacrifice a total Hp equal to your magic score, and you must sacrifice atleast 5Hp.

Or

Frost impalement (5Mp)
Deal damage equal to your magic-scorex4, plus your attack score. This spell is subject to both magic damage defenses, and attack damage defenses.

So if you had a magic of 4, and attack of 6... You'd do 26 dmg... But agains someone with a defense of 4, and a spell resistance of 2.... You'd only get 18 dmg. This would KILL all pure damagers.... But suck against more balanced characters.

How bout Wings of Achillies, 6Mp cost ,and have it last until the combat is over?

Mana-mirror... How bout having it as an effect like the shield spell series. It makes a magical shield which can reflect up to double your magic stat back at the caster until all deflection points are used up. It would last until the end of the dungeon, but re-casting it only resets the shield.

Really, I think that the heal's are kinda over-priced... But then again... Arcane magic isn't really focused on this so... What about having a special "heal=magic statx3, for 3Mp" as a spell only cast-able by the Angellic choir members... And me if you put in in ;3 Jk, and jk about the jk.

~!~

Oh, and here's afew were-shaman spells.

De-luck de-buff.
Root Entangle (2Mp)
Deal damage equal to your magic score, and also decrease their combat roll down to 1, regardless of the minimum dice roll. This lasts for 2 turns; the one casted, and the next turn. Another spell does not add to the time, just resets it.

Basically another status adding spell cause we dont have enough status effect spells... Good for taking down high C.D monsters and opponents. I'm planing how to not only kill Gerbo... But also kill his monk friend rofl Anything wrapping around a person and making it harder to move... Not impossible however.

Stunning etheral claw
Sun-claw (4Mp)
Deal damage equal to double your magic-score, and stun the enemy, causing them to not be able to use actions, or attack. The damage is affected by Combat dice, however, the stun acts still affects the target even if it can negate damage.

Were-org special spell... Probably the shaman's spell of choice. Good for leveling the playing field when facing weapon bareing foes. Mages would like this because of it's anti-fighter promise, and the warriors have a 50% chance to avoid stun, and a way to reduce damage due to it being a magicall attack which they could try to 'dodge'. Picture three large lines of bright, focused sunlight slicing through the air.

Attack buff
Wind-blade (+2Mp)
This spell increases your, or a partymember's attack score by half your magic score, round down. An additional Mp may be spent to increase the bonus by 2. The maximun you can spend is equal to how many points your magic stat is over the 3 mark. This lasts for a period of rounds equal to 1/3 of your magic stat.

Good for mages with no attack to get into team attack... And a good offensive buffing for the mages who cant attack themselves but their party needs the damage. Imagine slicing winds sheathed over a sword, or in the shape of a claymore.

Fimbulwinter Fury (6Mp)
Deal damage equal to your magic score x3, divided evenly among your enemies. Choose a number of opponents equal to your magic score divided by 3, round down. These opponents can only attack on the party-members who attack them. Spells and actions work normally though. This lasts for only the round of casting, and the next round. Bosses and liutenants have a 50% chance of not being stuck. Adds the status effect, 'Pinned'

A were-spell based on my origional character design of Bellamin... (( This was the spellsword's favorite spell combo, and the name of his ship in sci-fi universe)) Useful for mass stun, although it takes a high magic score to fully utilise the destructional abillity as this... Basically... Imagine a big explosion of sudden frost shooting out in a circular fashion around the caster, and large pieces of ice blowing out and wrapping around enemies.

So this is a single target spell? It definitely has solid potential.

Yep, single


I would like to see a progressive series of spells using this style. It would give those few fighter mages running in the guild a real edge. Perhaps some more tweaking of the system though. Maybe using Attack and Magic Stats together as a solid base, then subjecting the final damage total to the same requirements as Normal Damage.

I'll look into making it better... My brain is dead on these types right now.

If the target is attacked in the same round the frog status would have to be negated. I could see this as a possible spell for crowed control, though it might need to cost more. Otherwise its way too over powered. Not only is it the equivalence of being both a stunning blow and a pounce at the same that would also be some insane stat reduction.

Reducing someone Attack and Defense and Combat to 1 is basically the same as pouncing them let alone taking away there ability to defend themselves as well. It costs 6mp alone to weaken either one persons attack or defense by one's magic score. That’s only one stat, this is 3. If you were to combine all the existing spells and actions together to make this spell it would cost like 19 mp. Put it simply it is too much for one spell to do. If you think of it in an actual game situation it’s pretty over powering.
