[Spells] Spell Circles.

DeathCow · May 26, 2006, 05:57:27 AM

As per the MMUD 2.0 post, I thought it might be interesting to explore the idea of spell circles.? What circles could there be?? And what spells would be in each circle?? After not putting much thought into this, I'm thinking of making the class type being a limiting factor in what circles you can take, and the magic level being the amount of circles you can learn, and having spellcasting modify how early you can learn a spell.

	Mage-1	Mage-2	Mage-3	Druid-1	Druid-2	Druid-3	Priest-1	Priest-2	Priest-3	Summoner
Circle Of Fire	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No	No	Yes
Circle Of Air	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No	No	Yes
Circle Of Earth	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No	No	Yes
Circle of Water	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No	No	Yes
Circle of Poison	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No	No	Yes
Circle of Protection	No	No	No	No	No	Yes	No	No	Yes	No
Circle of Nature	No	No	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No	No	No
Circle of Healing	No	No	No	No	No	No	No	Yes	Yes	No
Circle of Darkness	No	Yes	Yes	No	No	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	No
Circle of Light	No	Yes	Yes	No	No	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	No
Circle of Warding	No	No	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No
Circle of Time	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No	Yes	No	No	No	No
Circle of Mind	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No	No	No	No	No	No
Circle of Summoning	No	No	No	No	No	No	No	No	No	Yes
Circle Of Necromancy	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	No

Spell casters will have a limited amount of circles they can choose from.? The maximum allowed is determined by Magic Level.? Circles are assigned either Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary status.? That status is a modifer for their power level.

------	------	Primary	Secondary	Tertiary
Magic-3	------	1	2	0
Magic-2	------	0	1	1
Magic-1	------	0	1	0
Summoner¹	------	1	1	1

1. A summoner's primary must be Circle of Summoning.

Spell casters may choose to learn as many circles as possible, or they may choose to devote more energy to a single pursuit.? This can be represent numerically.

	------	Total Points
Magic-3	------	9
Magic-2	------	6
Magic-1	------	3
Summoner¹	------	6

1. Summoners are assumed to have 3 points in Circle of Summoning.

So, a Magic-3 could have 9 points in 1 primary ability, or, 6 in 1 primary with 3 in a secondary, or simply have 3 points in each.

Note this is a numerical representation of what will be an in game decision.

Slow

Area Effect:
Time Shift ? slows everything but the caster
Time Freeze ? Stops all action in a room and prevents any action from any NPC or PC other then the caster (very short duration)

I was just thinking about this should healing be treated just as healing or should it be seperated out so you have:

Druidic healing
Priestly healing

DeathCow · May 26, 2006, 08:48:57 AM

Well I was thinking that the Circle of Healing would be a priest type only circle.? There can of course be some overlapping.? The light, and nature circles very well might have their own healing spells.? And the healing circle might have some undead damaging spells.? Both air and water will use cold effects..and will both have rcol spells.

Fun with colors.

Is it just me or shouldn't circle of healing be available for all the priestly ranks?
What do you have in mind for light and darkness ??? is that like good and evil or day and night?

Anyway here is a fun little one

Ya think maybe mind and illusion go together?

And that chart is kinda arbitrary atm.

The Crazy Animal · May 26, 2006, 11:03:32 AM

I could see how it could and how it couldn't be put with mind. My thoughts on the circle of mind were they would be more direct psychic attacks. Where as illusion is mostly defensive and trickery based.

It's the difference between smoke/mirrors and ESP.

Edit: Or what he ^ said....because I'm slow.

The Crazy Animal · May 26, 2006, 11:23:29 AM

Still want an answer on the light and dark thing....

Circle of Divination: this is very bare bones at the moment and I?m not sure if it?s viable at the moment but sounds fun.

Tarot:
Draw 1 card
Draw 2 cards combos
Draw 3 cards combos

Runes:
Draw 1 rune
Draw 2 runes combos
Draw 3 runes combos

Tarot and runes work similarly but require different objects: tarot deck or rune bag. Each card or rune gives a temp spell that can be cast after being drawn. Similarly multi draws will give more powerful temp spells. Drawling runes or cards is limited by a set number per amount of time per deck or bag. Further you can acquire different types of rune bags and tarot decks as treasure or by purchase.

Scrying: - requires object
Find item
Spy on player
Is x monster alive

DeathCow · May 26, 2006, 11:36:19 AM

I kinda like just lumping smoke mirriors and esp together...

Darkness, and Light only good and evil to a point, Darkness might have quite a few evil only spells, and light good only..but you don't have to be good or evil to take the abilities. Its sort of a combination of the 2, day/night-good/evil

And gypsies are going to have an alter fate ability. Although I won't be opposed to making it a spell circle avaible only to them.

The Crazy Animal · May 26, 2006, 11:51:36 AM

I figured that Circle of divination would be restricted by class. I was thinking witchdoctor/shamman type and gypsies but thats just me.

If you want to lump illusion and mind to gether go ahead but its going to make it more difficult in the long run if you want to have prestige classes like illusionist and a psi class that are seperate and unique to each other.

Circle of Summoning:

Summon Creature of unusual size:
Summon Giant Rat
Summon Giant Bat
Summon Giant Cat
Summon Giant Dog
Summon Giant Roc

Summon Guardian:
Summon Guardian Dog

Summon Sprit:
Summon wraith
Summon Specter
Summon Vision

Summon Great Beasts:
Summon Fire Salamander
Summon Griffin
Summon Frost Serpent
Summon Drake
Summon Elder Wyrm

Summon Golems:
Summon Ice Golem
Summon Stone Golem
Summon Gargoyle

Summon Elementals:
Summon Fire Elemental
Summon Water Elemental
Summon Air Elemental
Summon Lightning Elemental
Summon Earth Elemental

I have a witchdoctor class I'm working on, well will be working on.?

Btw added stuff to top, and added some commentary.

The Crazy Animal · May 26, 2006, 12:56:24 PM

Maybe you should think about using a point delineated system that lets the player pick how many of x points to put in their primary, secondary, and tertiary magic rating.

Magic 3 = 9 points and can pick up to 3 circles
Magic 2 = 6 points and can pick up to 3 circles
Magic 1 = 3 points and can pick up to 3 circles

The Circle ratings could then range from 1 ? 9 in power, which would give room for prestige expansion later.

DeathCow · May 26, 2006, 01:00:49 PM

I like it.? Alot.? Certainly Adds alot of customization to characters.

Only problem is figuring out how to make that make sense in game. What I mean to say is I was planning to have this be based on a NPC interaction, rather than something you decide during character creation. Of course sitting here i'm coming up with ideas.

[Spells] Spell Circles.
