View Full Version : 31 Days of Spells

Dec 1st, '05, 04:41 AM
For November, I wrote an entire novel and redesigned the layout for Aldaric Gaming (http://aldaric.com). This month, in addition to the normal additions I'll be making, I'm going to add in a spell a day to the Easthaven system. In addition to these spells, I'll also begin redesigning the spell page (http://aldaric.com/easthaven?type=spell) to include much needed information and present it in a more readable format.

I might cheat and do some of them a day ahead of time though. :)

Don't know if this was an oversight... but Shadow Armor has "Bane of shadow magic" as a Lim, but Shadow Spikes don't.

Oops. Thanks for that catch.

Shadow magic is a nice theme. Are the other spells going to have similar special effects?

Super Squirrel

All magic comes from a restriction or a discipline. Shadow magic cheats the system but puts the caster into contact with raw magic which is dangerous. That is why Shadow Magic has a bane to it.

This might be altered later depending on a response from Steve Long.

I've been focusing on the spell types I lack examples of. Unfortunately, sometimes spells of the more populated types come to mind easier.

These are great points of reference for teh n00baz, like myself, as well as being very groovy constructions, Super Squirrel. Could you possibly explain real quick the whole "Power PLUS Some More Stuff" concept? I've seen it, but can't seem to choke an adequate explanation out of FREd.

Thanks!

Those are compound powers. Essentially combining two or more powers into the same construct. AFAIK it's a different way of handling the "Linked" power modifier.

Looks groovy. I think you should add some song magic from everyone's favorite shepherd... Beemish!

Sure, though technically speaking Tantric magic absorbed Song magic when I revised the magic system. I'll definitely add in some Performance spells into the system for you. :)

Someone give me a Song based spell to design. Nothing too complicated as I'm at work.

Oh, and I found out I've been messing up on some of these spells and other spells I've designed. I'll be doing a bunch of edits soon on them. Basically, I forgot to add Remains in Effect (+1/4) to allow the persistant spells to last after the VPP shifts to a new power.

More "song" spell ideas are requested.

Sort of related but I just finished implimenting a very basic search function into my Aldaric Gaming spell system.

Search Page: http://aldaric.com/spells
Sample Search: http://aldaric.com/spells?search_term=endurance&type=gs

Also I have updated the search system for Aldaric Gaming. It is a much more advanced search function and even accepts multiple search terms now.

Thanks to Dr. Anomaly and Killer Shrike for helping me out with the design for that one.

I figure it is worth noting that this idea came to me in the car. I had just finished listening to the Phantom of the Opera theme and decided to switch to the next disk in my CD player. The first song on it was Sweet Dreams by the Eurhythmics.

It would seem I owe you guys three spells. I'll get started on that right now. :)

Not so much that as just someone driven to obsession to the point they will sacrifice their own life.
