New Spells/Skills system

[Celestia]

Spells are actually pretty lame about now, from what I see.  A few more skills wouldn't hurt either.  Replace any of the names you like but these are the ideas of the functions.

  Spells

what you need to understand is that Air is an apect of lightning or electricity.  It would be better if Lightning/Elec could be replaced by air, but that's not gonna happen, so....

Earth : Entangle, Rock, Tremor, Stone Skin, Petrify
Fire : Burn, Flame Armor,
Elec : Bolt
Water : Water, Silhouette
Holy : Refresh, Heal, Light, Blink, Drain
Dark : Escape, Darkness, Shadow, Vampiric Bite, Creeping Death, Conflagration
*Air : Wind


Combo Spells require 100 skill in each element.

Earth + Fire: Sap
Eath + Wind0 : Corrode
Earth + Dark: Acid rain
Elec/Air + Fire : Maelstrom
Elec/Air + Water : Freeze, Clone
**Fire + Water : Wind

* Air exists only if the developers replace Lightning/Elec or if they want to add it in edition.
** This is only necesary if there is no Air element.



  Skills
general skill - Meditate: the skills thrown in this help you meditate faster.
general skill - Herbalism: make potions more effective.

  Special Skills
lv 50   Strike - Perform a quick strike that depends on Focus for damage.
lv 100  Weapon Blast - Deals damage equal to a weapon skill.
lv 200  Skill Shift - Move the skill points from one skill to another.  Each skill can only be replaced once. 

the idea is that each advancement in rank gives you a new special skill.

Ya I am sick with the current system....It needs a serious change, and i like your ideas Especially Creeping Death, reminds me of Metallica lol.

This system has undergone serious changes over the tenure during which I've played, so yes, while you may think it needs a "severe" alteration, I'm sure that it is viable to keep the same system going with minor changes.

Some of your ideas are pretty solid. Unfortunately I think they fit in with a much more advanced version to be implemented much later. Solid thinking though.

Well it goes back to ideas from earlier...actually in the previouis system, and maybe in this one there might be a new thing once in a whnile for combining elements.  I kind of doubt it in the current system.  In the past we had a topic up about combining elements....Rayn remembers that I'm sure.
