Okay, I need some more ideas. Currently my magickal system has a lot of the standard spells, like : fireball, lightning, earthquake, fascination, lure, summon, stasis, heal, fly, teleport, divine wrath, resurrect, flay, plague, shield, etc. All 'ball' types spells automatically become 'beam' spells after a certain level. I've recently added some moves from DBZ (under new names), and have looked to Magic : The Gathering for inspiration as well, but I want more ... I'm looking for inspiration for new (but realistic) spells, and would like some help from all you brilliant people (and some of the psychos too) ... Oh yes, I'm thinking OFFENSIVE, but if you have some novel defensive ideas, bring 'em along too ... Merrick Edited by - morfe on 9/17/00 10:43:26 PM

That''s quite a list you''ve got going! I recognize some of them from MtG, hehe. That''s a great place to get ideas. Just out of curiosity, how many spells are you going for?

How many? Until I start to get repetitive, or define spells which can be accomplished through blending base spells (which a few on the list would fall under -- oh well).

But really, it''s not a matter of numbers, it''s a matter of getting all the ideas I can, testing them out and then culling out those that don''t work or are pointless. There is no goal, just a result.
