MAGIC IS REALLY DONE....

[Ramir]

And my battery is dying!

Real quick, the 4 schools are up.

What I need: brutal proofreading and consideration. I need all feedback for any balance concerns, or exploits, OP and such.

Enjoy

Death Touch -
Effect: The mage delivers a fatal blow to the enemy, simply by placing their hand upon them.
Range: Must touch the target.
AOE: One target, will not work on undead.
Power: The mage causes massive damage in one target immediately.



So I can spam the ever loving crap out of this and just murder-kill everything in my path? I would think this as well as most level 10 spells have a once per day or some limitation or those who make spell casters will be unstoppable.

No need to worry, I will be writing up the rules for magic use and this spell will be fine due to the rules.

- Vampirism -
Effect: Sucking the very life from their victim, the mage can revitalize and even heal their own wounds.
Range: The mage must remain in touch with their target.
AOE: One target.
Cast Time: 1 whole round, ongoing effect.
Power: The mage can leech a moderate amount of health from one target, each round they remain in touch with them. The target takes this amount in damage. The mage cannot kill a target it in this manner, without killing themselves.

Typo

Thanks!

- Blessed script -
Effect: The mage can use their finger to 'write with light' on any suitable object. This script will illuminate whenever the mage is nearby.
Range: Target must be written on. The script can only be applied to solid, physical matter.
AOE: The mage's script will glow brightly whenever the mage is within 10 feet.
Cast Time: The mage can 'write' for no longer than thirty seconds.
Power: Will continue to work for 24 hours.

How many times can the person use this? Does the first go away after the second? I see it working for navigating a dungeon or ruin or cave, but what other limitations are there?

- Purify Chaos -
Effect: The mage calls for the intervention of their chosen deity and brims with a blinding light, capable of destroying evil.
Range: The Caster.
AOE: 30 feet.
Cast Time: 1 whole round.
Power: During this round, all creatures susceptible to blessed magic may be destroyed, or injured. Power is dependent on the power of the creature vs the mage.

I was confused on this simply due to are we having alignments or do schools affect other schools. Example, a chaos magic user is susceptible to blessed etc etc.

I may have missed the declarations of what effects what but what if creatures use this magic on players, how does it factor then?

The first spell can be used quite a lot and will only go away after 24 hours, or if dispelled somehow. It's not so complicated

As for the second question, light doing bonus damage is part of it's appeal, as there's plenty of dark, nightmarish nasties at any level of play. No, it wouldn't impact players and PVP is not the focus in game.

Please post all questions here guys

The new magic rules are now up in the game info section.

I will wait on any immediate feedback and then get to writing up just HOW we convert to the update.
