Title: New Spell Ideas.........
Post by Weedman on 02/07/04 at 20:34:10
Blind- Temporily Blinds Opponent  Stoping them from Attacking You. lvl requirment 25 Mana Cost 20 mp Per cast.

(Lets Say You Got like 3 PPl chasing you and trying to attack you poor defensless wizard and you cast blind on a few of them  stoping them from attacking and if they try to move they get lost. As I See It It's a Good Protection SPell that Should Be Considered)

I Will Have More Info About It Once i Figure out its flaws. Till Then Post your Opinions

Couple of questions,
1: Can they not attack or can they not move?
2: If they cannot move is the effect more like drunkeness or they simply can't move?
3: If they cannot attack, are they defenseless against everyone or can they simply not attack you?

It is a terribly sad day when mage owners have to think of ways to stop bieng pked due to mages bieng weak. I am not saying your idea is a bad one, I'm simply saying that there's something wrong. All of the time spent training the hardest class in nightmist (in my opinion) and for what? They should be much stronger than they are now.

The Spell would Blind them From Not Attacking The Mage which made them blind and in ways it would act as a Substancual way to hurt the person attacking you for a short amoment of time perably 30 senconds give you a good chance of hitting them with a few rounds if you have has casted Haste on you to regain stam quicker. But i have thought it over and i tihnk it would be a good spell for a mage. it would be Able tob e bought in Any Mage Guild for a fee of like say 25k (price can change depending if idea is Liked)

I think it should be a hard spell to cast lots of mana needed, and if u cast it on someone hes blind and its like drunkness when moving, he cannot attack anyone (as his blind) but is anyone attacks him the spell ends or after 30s.

I agree with snowy's idea.

Seems Fair it would Make mages More Interesting Aswell fi JLH Accepts my idea. And It Will Wear off after 30seconds. and it can Be tweaked to Cost Like 82mp to cast it per cast.

good idea but this would make mages unbeatable in a duel
cast the spell succesfully once and uv basicly won

Title: Re: New Spell Ideas.........
Post by Weedman on 02/09/04 at 08:18:07
As I Said It Can be tweaked Some its Only a Suggestion.

Not really, u cast it and the dude is holding macros (almost all the time, without gettin d/c) and when mage attacks him he hits the mage. Now mage has lost 82 mp and its hard to cast (maybe it took 2 times to cast cuz it fizzled?) then 164 mp, just to get a 1 hit more. (still helpful, but not makin mage a god, although he should be considering how hard it is to train a mage).

I got one...
Scroll of Megid
can use at lvl 30
effect: 15% chance of 1 hit kills, uses half your mana bar. If it doesn't do a 1-hit kill it does 80-90 damage.

Title: Re: New Spell Ideas.........
Post by Snowy on 02/09/04 at 17:52:51
I dont like the whole 1 hit kills idea, but its just me, anyways the part about half mana bar is very strange, why should an elf pay more mana to cast it then a human, while elf is a more magical race, well elfs stats are anyways. Otherwise dmg is nice :)

Title: Re: New Spell Ideas.........
Post by Weedman on 02/09/04 at 22:16:15
A Mage Being able to dmg for 8-90 or even 1 hit killing would be way to Unbalanced and over power the idea wasnt to make Mages gods but to give them a fighting chance.

Title: Re: New Spell Ideas.........
Post by Vengence on 02/10/04 at 01:53:38
ok first, have you read my topic about how to get scroll of megid? its nearly impossible to get.
second, it uses half your mana! that means with a full inventry of adv crystals, you could only get 20-30 of these pulled off, excluding fizzles. and third, what class can not do 80-90 besides cleric/pally/paci? zerkers do 100+, rangers do 60-100, fighters hit for 70-85ish, thiefs assassinate can do 250, i mean honestlty...

Megid sounds a bit too Phantasy Star Online-ish to me...

You know what you people do not really believe an idea is copyrighted because it sound like some other idea. I mean NM has orcs, ogres and other things is that plagarism? I mean you gotta learn copyright laws before pointing them out.

Title: Re: New Spell Ideas.........
Post by Snowy on 02/11/04 at 07:18:27
Who pointed out any copyrights??

Title: Re: New Spell Ideas.........
Post by Vengence on 02/11/04 at 13:43:42
megid is some Japanese word, and last I knew, words weren't copywritted  :-/.

Title: Re: New Spell Ideas.........
Post by Monte on 02/11/04 at 18:55:51
I never said it was copyrighted, so quit freaking out. I just thought that it would be better if staff thought up something more original. If it came down to it Megid is a good name, just looking for some creativity. And yeah, PSO does rock.

If you need names, do what I do:

Find a nice, empty, quiet room and figure out what the name is for. Then, start making random sounds with your mouth (out loud).

Use harsher sounds and softer sounds in accordance to what you want the word/name to sound like.

...Of course, that's just me. ^^;;;

Most people will look at Baby Name books/websites to find stuff like this (which is nice since they will often tell you what country the name originated from).

With a mages armor they dont need a spell like this, lets hope for devestate ;)

Title: Re: New Spell Ideas.........
Post by Silverwizard on 02/12/04 at 17:15:35
The thing is that originality is just thta and just because it sounds like some other game does not mean it is not original and therefore the only problem would be copyrights.

Well Mike I See You Finally Notice But Its Was Just a Idea and I SPoke with JLH the Other Day And He Said SOmething ABout It And I Think My Idea WOn't Quiet Cut It, But As i See it It WOuld Be Good For Mages Who Aint Got Aura of Protection. which would mean lvl to put it in your spellbook would be lower to maybe being lvl 23 and all that.
