Welcome forged elements!
¤ Introduction ¤
Welcome forged elements!
¤ Introduction ¤
Hello guys and gals!, you may not know who i am, im usually hanging around in "the other place". But anyways to the thread.
As you see from above its a concept art from the game "Magicka".
I assume the most of you have played it, but i'll still explain to you unknowing fellows.
^_^
Magicka is a game where you can team up with a total of 4 players as a mage
to save the work from trolls, goblins and Chuck Norris.
You play the game by forging diffrent elements in a max number of 5 total elements
which results of diffrent kind of spells and attributes. Often the elements get stronger
the more you stack the same element. You can also have "collected" magics where you have a certain combination to trigger a special spell that you gained information from
which are rather more unique compared to the normal spell forged by elements.
¤ The Tibia Verision ¤
:mellow:
Tibia has a pretty boring overall casting system of spells, you say the words and you cast your spells, It made the game too easy sometimes to play, You get easily bored
of it. So what if you took the system from magicka and OpenTibia in a bowl, put it in bowl
then mix the f*ck out of it, What do you get? "MagickaOnSteriods!" *Raises to the skies*.
I have thought of the possibilities with OpenTibia and tried to push it a bit to the limit.
Great thing you can acctually do with OTs, And you may wonder how would this
system work on such a limited client like tibia? Well lets say this system involves the
mouse alot more. Did you ever know that you can execute scripts when you "Look" at
objects? You can actually get the position, the object you are looking at, even the
distance. This allows you to do alot more to quick casting, but also more risk for failure.
:huh:
How do we forge the elements?, By saying the name of the element, as a
talkaction. They will display the element "signature" effect and as well as the name.
popping up in a colored text. to see what elements you forged, you simply forge an element. And Some letters will pop up. Each element has its own capital letter which represents its position and stack. Since it pops up at a animated text message it can only be 10 characters long, So you can stack up to amazing 10 elements. However, We need
to make it a bit more RPG so this is how it would work:
# Your maximal stack value increases with one slot each 6 magic level, Starting at 1 slot.
Any vocation can use any spell as long as they fill up the requirements.
This means that knights with low magic rate can maximum stack 4 elements and the
power and range of the spell will never increase high enough as a mage can. Therefor
this will be applied also.
# Enchanting weapons give close combat spell which are more dependant on your
weapon than your magic level. Enchanting weapon is simply made by looking at your
weapon, which makes it a once-time cast when you attack an opponent within 30
seconds.
# Here it isnt the casting that drains mana, its the number of elements forged.
An element will drain the position of the element * its cost to forge.
So forging for example 4 lightning would be 20*1 + 20*2 + 20*3 + 20 * 4
# Creating runes will be more crucial if trading with other players. Since you only have
limitation to 4 base elements, Some elements can be useful combining.
Casting runes give a cooldown for about 15 seconds but takes no mana.
Creating runes with certain elements takes the mana for casting * 3.
# Forging elements, Since there are 12 basic elements we can actually make a total of 4
tiers of forged elements. Each tier unlocks for each promotion you pass.
# Spellbooks have an completly new task here, You actually learn "normal" spells by
collecting pieces of tomes with the combinations to cast those spells.
These tomes are rare and often contain strong spells, Any player can learn them.
And also unlearn them and trade it to other players when needed.
Casting these spells is made by using a wand or staff when having the elements in
memory.

So enough with the boring stuff Here are the elements:

They dont leave any effects, mostly just have a small range and heavy damage.
They are amplified if the target is drowned:
You can not combine Lightning with Water, Since they are opposites.
