Title: Spells
Post by: BlackIceAdept on June 03, 2005, 12:22:18 AM: I'm looking once again for suggestions from the public! This time on spells. Like whats your favorites, amount per game, MP cost, dependability, and what ever else you can think of!

Isn't fun looking such a curious Adept? :D

Post by: Ace of Spades on June 03, 2005, 12:28:00 AM: Something that kills multiple enemies in one blow. :p

Post by: AsakuraHao2004 on June 03, 2005, 01:37:38 AM: Something that requires a really cool animation to play, and does mass damage.

Post by: blackskullwarlock on June 03, 2005, 01:38:19 AM: My favorites:

Vampiric Touch
Skull Trap
Raise Dead (undead, not the player)
Fiend, Cacofiend and Gate (Demon summoning spells)

Those are my favorites...

My favorite is Aurora Boreau (turns everything in an area of 100 meters in a -3000 degrees area. 5% of chances that the caster is included)

Or anything with side effects.
The Rotten Almight make you very strong, but takes 3% of your life each turn (I made this now just as an eample)

For example, Celes' Runic ability from FF6. When active, it would absorb all magic attacks and restore her MP a bit. I liked the skill, but I found that it wasn't really useful. So I thought "Hey, why not use it to power up the weapon?" From there, I created a system (in my head) where the character could only absorb up to a certain level of spells, but absorbing a spell would increase the spell level they could absorb. Though not a completely new idea, I thought it was unique enough to distinguish the new ability from the original.

Try things like that. It might help.

Post by: SaiKar on June 03, 2005, 08:43:26 AM: I like spells with added effects. Like a spell that does damage AND lowers defense, or damages enemy MP, or adds a status effect too. Fun stuff like that. It's not all about raw power.

Post by: Moosetroop11 on June 03, 2005, 08:51:43 AM: For some reason one of my favourite spells is Wall, from FF7. You can't beat a good wall to protect you from that pesky Sephiroth.

Post by: Dragonium on June 03, 2005, 09:02:54 AM: I prefer attacks that reduce the enemy to 1 HP, or anything that does heavy MP damage. Added effects are nice too.

Post by: Sephiroth rocks on June 03, 2005, 09:31:15 AM: Mimic!

Post by: BlackIceAdept on June 03, 2005, 10:44:06 AM: well don't you all have alot of favorites some I might use and some I might not they all sound good except the kill all foes spell thats like X-Zone in FF6 kinda super-cheep...

Post by: Blademon on June 03, 2005, 05:09:10 PM: I like Summoning magic. When Diablo 2 was being in production, I was salivating at the Necromancer so much. Seiken Densetsu 3 has a lame excuse for summoning magic, but I still got tricked into playing that character heh.

In D&D I have to say my favourite spells are the Cleric ones so anything that boosts stats or kills undead easily is also nice.

Post by: DragonBlaze on June 03, 2005, 07:15:24 PM: Yeah, you can't beat summoning magic, especially when your summoning Bahamut or another dragon :P

Shapeshifting spells are also really cool. :)

Post by: BlackIceAdept on June 03, 2005, 08:02:38 PM: summoning is kinda hard to do with RM2k3 but I'll try and as for the whole healing spells hurting undead anyway I could do that?
Title:
Post by: WarxePB on June 03, 2005, 08:07:58 PM: Make an attributre called Cure, set A, B, C and D to 100%, and set E to -100%. Then just set undead monsters to E with Cure.

The only problem with this is, of course, there's no way tio actually use a normal cure spell on enemies - you'd have to create an Enemy Cure spell that does the same thing.

Post by: BlackIceAdept on June 03, 2005, 08:13:39 PM: I rest my case Rm2k3 sucks a$$ for that.... >:

Edit: I like to swear and just cuase Eako will have a purge undead Matra Spell...(Yeah I'm looking for ideas...kinda gets boring making your own spells you know?)

Post by: Sephiroth rocks on June 03, 2005, 08:20:34 PM: Oh I totally forgot that it actually of course was Ark! the animation is like 8 minutes long and it kicks major @ss!
Title:
Post by: BlackIceAdept on June 03, 2005, 08:39:57 PM: Ark from ff9? that was insane. God...that would be amazing summon to have although I don't think I could make it 8 minutes even if I do 5000!!!(max) screens...thats not just insane it's also damn near impossble and I'ld most likely have to combine multiple animations using a trigger and save it for the final blow to the last boss...
Title:
Post by: Sephiroth rocks on June 03, 2005, 09:08:58 PM: I've made an ark battleanimation and I'm using Ark in my game as the ultimate esper. The animation is kinda like the highlites of the one in FF9.
Title:
Post by: BlackIceAdept on June 03, 2005, 09:17:54 PM: how about just him I have a shitload of ray and light beam animations...
Title:
Post by: Sephiroth rocks on June 03, 2005, 09:21:58 PM: You'd also need some pictures of the earth seen from space and a sky to make it perfect. I've uploaded an ark battleanim with that ones but that's a long time ago while I still used MS Paint so it obviously isn't very good.

Post by: BlackIceAdept on June 03, 2005, 09:35:00 PM: kinda sucky like you said... I rather have the robot side of him done by Dagger, APOCALYPSE RAY FROM THE HEAVENS KILL THEM ALL!!! :frag:
