Haru Yates Xa44 Haru Yates ...I'm still not understanding your "before a fight" explanation. (Not sure if it's a lack of punctuation, of if it's just me. Are you trying to say that it can only apply to encounters? (be them social or battle) The spell always covers the battlefield you do not get to decide how big it is, you said you could use it to buy time but because of the way it works you couldn't mid fight put the party in a bubble and heal. Only way you could use it to heal up is by using it before a fight, but there is no reason to because you could just heal normally so it really is useless outside of an encounter then. I was talking to Bored Reckless and she is thinking that she wants her character to be a water mage. She was wondering about a spell to manipulate the form and shape of water. (So a basic water manipulation spell.) Not sure if it could be caused by the same spell (like an effect based on how you use it) or if it would be a completely different spell, but the ability to cause water to pressureize, expand, or suddenly burst through a pipe that you can see (or a kettle, or a barrel, or a bottle, etc.). Something water-based that could case a distraction for a thief to steal stuff. She was also wondering about a water-themed barrier spell. I also wanted to ask about a spell to manipulate the size and shape of flames, as well as a spell to change the colour of flames or water (and/or consistency of water) . A spell to create objects and sculptures out of ice would also be useful, as would an ice wall/barrier spell. In fact, a basic spell for each element to manipulate the element would be good in general. It's simple and adds variety,(not to mention more options). finally, is your Disarming Darkness spell the same as my Shadow Capture Bind spell? Like, exactly the same?
You can still use it to threaten people/instill fear becausethey don't see you, but yeah basically
Yeah that would be good for filler but seems a little weak, we can just say you can do basic manipulation with the children spells
Probably, I changed it up to fit with PSCT and gave it a new name(I think), did that with a lot of spells |

PSCT?
Weak? On the contrary, basic manipulation spells are actually quite useful. You can use it to transfer water from one cup to another ( probably in smaller quantities),, make a fire burn taller or light candles, have the wind make the leaves dance in tune with music, or cool a bown of soup with ice magic, or entertain children with convincing shadow puppets. It allows for more creative freedom and it's great for simple things outside of battle (especially for entertainment and for him or distractions.)
After all, can you imagine a wood mage that can't make a flower bloom for fun?
Another thing: What about a spell to breath underwater?
And do we increase our chances of success on rolls or saves if we have an advantage or proficiency? (Like for a rogue to have proficiency in stealing and hiding, etc)

PSCT(short for, problem solving card text) is a turm made for weighting YGO vards to make some interactions that would otherwise be hard to word easier to eork out
Yeah everything you said there(except maybe making already existing fire grow) is whay the children spells already do(BTW just wanna point out you say entertain children with puppets and entertaining children is in the description of those spells)
Feel like that would be kinda weak like dark vision, something more interesting would be a spell that would do bolth and maybe some more, just have a lot of smaller neet effects to more advanced traversal, but would probably make that a wood spell or put it in the shop as a few items
NOTE: when I say a spell is weak I mean in comparison to other already existing abilities, this doesn't mean I don't like the idea just that it doesn't work for this system
No but you can increase that by buying armour I will probably make a post about that shop and work out a reasonable starting gold amount, that post will have all the ruling you will need to know(I can post the WIP shop now(if you want but don't expect much, creating that and spells are very different and aren't as easily explained when in a WIP state |

Nuh-uh. The description just says "a weak spell that children learn, does very minor DMG". It doesn't say anything about it being commonly used to entertain children.
Xa44 Feel like that would be kinda weak like dark vision, something more interesting would be a spell that would do bolth and maybe some more, just have a lot of smaller neet effects to more advanced traversal, but would probably make that a wood spell or put it in the shop as a few items
What's wrong with having many different spells instead of one that does multiple things? Not everything has to be multi-purpose, you know. Even useless spells can be fun. I don't normally care for useless spells, but I know of people who would love to be able to cast "fireworks". I also know people who would look at a spell that creates fireworks and think how great that spell would be for distracting people and waking people up in the middle of the night. ...Actually, even Gandalf had a spell to make fireworks! lol.
A spell to make a flower bloom (Kinda like Groot did back in Guardians of the Galaxy) might have no purpose other than to be pleasant (which may make other people like you more, which may make them think you're good people and thus, they may choose to open up to you or trust you just a little more). Still, creative people will think of creative ways to make use of them.
Xa44 NOTE: when I say a spell is weak I mean in comparison to other already existing abilities, this doesn't mean I don't like the idea just that it doesn't work for this system
Just curious, but why exactly wouldn't it work?
Is it because knowing this spell would be game-breaking by allowing us to bypass things like getting a boat or a torch? (Because if that's the case, you could easily add restrictions to spells such as time limits, limited uses, limited number of targets, or other restrictions to ensure that it can't be abused. For example, breathing underwater could be restricted to 5 minutes at a time, can only affect one target at a time, and does not give the user the ability to speak underwater. It's amazing how placing restrictions on spells and abilities can open up so many more options for the Game Master. ) Actually, a spell to breath underwater could be life-saving because I don't imagine that Terran would have had many opportunities to learn to swim in his life. sweatdrop
Xa44 No but you can increase that by buying armor I will probably make a post about that shop and work out a reasonable starting gold amount, that post will have all the ruling you will need to know (I can post the WIP shop now (if you want but don't expect much, creating that and spells are very different and aren't as easily explained when in a WIP state
If you welcome feedback on the WIP shop, (or constructive criticism, if you're brave enough to hear it), then it might be a good idea to post it; maybe as a separate thread. |

Haru Yates I should also mention that my sis (Bored Reckless) was surprised (and maybe a little disappointed) to hear that we don't get any advantage or bonuses on our rolls to succeed on something that our character should be skilled in. (with the exception of armor, that is.) It might not hurt to at least consider something like this for your system. (like I may have said before, a thief should be better at theivery than somebody who has never even heard of thieves tools. Or, as a better example, a cleric shouldn't be able to steal as well as a professional thief.) Otherwise, talent is dead. emo
A thief with modern day tec 200 years ago would make them a strong thief
I don't want manny filler spells and dividing them up like that would mean you would need to level to get a roleplay spell witch you can roleplay without spells like that, think about a street performer that just casts random spells
I will add a spell of bearding at some point because Urealms
Also if I did that than there would be times like this"can I use fireball and detonate it in the air to make a firework" "no to do that you would need the firework spell to do that" and if I didn't than what is the point of the spell
For why ko water breathing is because it would be outclassed by so manny spells and the only use would be to walk to places you shouldn't be
Examples of it being outclassed
I fell off a boat, cast Bubble to float you up onto the ship
I wanna swim to the bottom of the ocean, cast Drip
Breath holding contest, use Bubble on yourself to breathe or to take out the comp
I wanna swim really far, cast Flow you move faster than you would swimming
Hiding, cast Flatten you are now a blob and can teleport behind a wall or behind the person
I feel like all theae examples the alternatives are 1-better and 2-more entertaining, I sit in the water vs I put you in a magic bubble like come on bubbles man
Kk going to post the shop but really it is a big WIP so a pot of things you may say will be changed already or are put in as a WIP and are not explained yet for my personal organisation |

I would have thought that being able to use some sleight of hand would make a more skilled thief. (You know, to be able to remove somebody's watch or wallet without them noticing?)
What kinda "modern day tech 200 years ago" helps you steal? (*confused*)
Xa44 I don't want many filler spells and dividing them up like that would mean you would need to level to get a roleplay spell witch you can roleplay without spells like that, think about a street performer that just casts random spells I will add a spell of bearding at some point because Urealms Also if I did that than there would be times like this"can I use fireball and detonate it in the air to make a firework" "no to do that you would need the firework spell to do that" and if I didn't than what is the point of the spell
Wouldn't exploding a fireball to create fireworks rain fire down upon us? (whereas a fireworks spell would be fairly harmless?)
Xa44 For why ko water breathing is because it would be outclassed by so manny spells and the only use would be to walk to places you shouldn't be Examples of it being outclassed I fell off a boat, cast Bubble to float you up onto the ship I wanna swim to the bottom of the ocean, cast Drip Breath holding contest, use Bubble on yourself to breathe or to take out the comp I wanna swim really far, cast Flow you move faster than you would swimming Hiding, cast Flatten you are now a blob and can teleport behind a wall or behind the person I feel like all these examples the alternatives are 1-better and 2-more entertaining, I sit in the water vs I put you in a magic bubble like come on bubbles man
Lol. Actually, that sounds complicated to me. sweatdrop
Drip says you need to be in the air to use it.
Bubble says you float upward until it pops. Are you saying that you can control where the bubble floats to and make it pop at will? If so, then you should add that to the spell's description so that we understand the extent of what the spell can do. Otherwise, I'd be worried about fall damage from the bubble popping.
Flatten's description says you flatten yourself into nothing. You meant to say you flatten yourself into a puddle, right? Like, disappear into one puddle and emerge from another? It doesn't feel much like a water spell without involving water, is all.
How would bubble help you win a breath holding competition? You'd be disqualified on account of the bubble surrounding your head; or at the very least, for the rise and fall of your chest as you breath. (or for using it to ko your competition, although I do find the thought funny: "ready? GO!" *Uses bubble on opponent to knock them out.* "There, I won." [I probably understood that wrong.])
When you are making a 1000-spell spell list, it's usually a good idea to keep your spells simple and easy to understand. You gotta tell us what it's capable of doing in the description. For example, "Drip" says you cast it in the air to fall back to the surface and land nearby. I assumed this meant that the drop of water bursts/splatters like a raindrop when it hits a surface, including the surface of a lake or the ocean. Does drop allow you to bypass hitting the ocean's surface or can it be cast underwater as well?
Xa44 Kk going to post the shop but really it is a big WIP so a pot of things you may say will be changed already or are put in as a WIP and are not explained yet for my personal organisation
Ok. *looks over shop listings*
A couple questions about the world and the list:
tab Is there a limit to how much we can carry at a time?
tab Is the darkness town close enough to the ocean to make fish a potential food source? (assuming it doesn't go bad too quickly due to the distance traveled to get it?) Or is the eastern edge of the map/continent a cliff overlooking the ocean?
tab Do shops in the dark town sell items/charms/clothes to protect new citizens from the necrotic dark energies? (I say necrotic because it drains the life outta stuff)
tab Does the dark energy that surrounds the dark town appear as a fog or something that makes the town harder to find, making it more secluded and scary than it otherwise would have been without the dark aura? (Does the town get much sunlight? and is it easy to get lost while traveling through the dark energies surrounding the town?)
tab Is there a legal drinking age? And if so, what is it?
tab Do different towns specialize in different foods? (like the water town eats a lot of fish, the wood/forest town has wild game, the light town has fancy stuff like meat and poultry and bacon ... or fruit pies, the earth town could have bugs (like, giant ones or something cool like that) or stone-baked items, the frozen town has snow cones and arctic game (rabbit, seal, etc), and the arcane town has (idk) pastas or specialty cheeses, the darkness town could do dried meat (because of the need to preserve it) and the fire town could do flambe or something? Just a thought.)
tab What kinda drink is "dragon slap"? (what's it closest to?)
tab What is "Dooreat" supposed to be? (is it a typo?)
tab Does light armor include leather armor?
tab What do "adventurers clothes" include/grant?
tab "Collection of books"? Could you use this to learn spells or gain a bonus to knowledge-based checks?
tab House prices are for Inns, right? (suggestion: Might be a good idea to charge more for an inn in the ice town because it's so cold and secluded there. Travelers may not have much of a choice but to stay at the Ice town inn unless they are willing to risk freezing to death.)
tab Will wagon rentals ever be a thing?
tab Is there a buy-back system where we can sell items to the shops?
Sorry for all the questions! |

Haru Yates A few more things to consider: Are there restrictions for Nature's consume spell? Such as the maximum size of things that can be eaten, and weather or not it's limited to food or non-living targets? (In other words, can enemies be devoured?) In addition, is there a spell to make a target grow and shrink?
Maybe? Idk I feel like I would but if there isn't I probably had a reason so I will need to look that one over
Haru Yates Is "acid" a type of effect or damage for any spell as of yet?
Not yet but that seems like a thing that would need statues ailments to be done
Haru Yates Nature's spell "trap" sounds like it might be more accurate to call it "snare", but whatever floats your boat. Can the nature spell "fall" be used with pine needles in addition to leaves?
They are leafs so yes
Haru Yates Another suggestion for a nature spell: something along the lines of "animal companions" or "animal messenger".
A talk to animals thing could work but that effects is obtainable with lightning and also I like the idea of them not being able to talk really, that way bonding with a animals can be more impactful
Haru Yates Are there any spells to summon creatures or beasts? Like a Summoner Class/Build?
Most earth spells are based on that gimmick, that is why sit is a spell
Haru Yates Another idea might be like something based on D&D 5e's Contagion spell, used to infect a target with a disease. (may be random or chosen. In d&d, this spell lasts up to 8 hours I think.)
Still establishing what status ailments are hold back on those ideas for a bit until I can get that done
Haru Yates What water-based spell includes the ability to raise or lower water-levels? (is it splash?)
As of now yes but I will probably make a spell for that
Haru Yates Are there any spells to detect or disarm traps?
Not yet but, idk if traps will really be a thing, at least in the way you are thinking
Haru Yates And finally, if shade can be used to manipulate shadows and such, then how does it differ from conjure shadow? Is it something like the difference between this:  *shadow being cast and moving independently. and something like this?: *Shadow materializing as a thick black smoke-like substance. [img sources: ... google images.]
Yes but way more extreme, that spell lets you do allusions and more advanced things |

poket knifes, a gun, lock-pick kits, other things probably
Haru Yates Wouldn't exploding a fireball to create fireworks rain fire down upon us? (whereas a fireworks spell would be fairly harmless?)
the way the spell works the AOE has a fixed range so it would just blow up and then flicker away

like using a water breathing spell wouldn't be cheating LOL
the idea is that the puddle goes into the dirt so nothing would be viable
bubble lasts until popped, you can pop it with a arrow or something or just with a slap

Sorry for all the questions!
no that is why I toss out bags of holding so much
yeah, it is a fishing town mainly, that's why you can buy swimsuits there as well
again it is a WIP, and that would be a quest shop so not listed here
nope viability is fine, dark town was the best place in the world befor the war but everyone just hated them, but they have a democratic gov and the most advanced tec
16, because that is more fun
yes, that is why it is just meat because it is different everywhere
dragon slap is a rediculously powerful drink, one sip makes you feel like you got slaped by a dragon, that drunk, every round after drinking it you will cast a random spell that you know at a target the GM picks
dooreat is door eat it is a dorito bag basicly
yes
whatever looks cool(it is basicly your starting outfit unless said otherwise)
collection of book gives EXP overnight if you wanna read
the house prices are for actual strait up houses not inns(do need to add that)
maybe? bag of holding kinda makes that seem useless
right now I am thinking no, so no for the time being
it's fine most needed to be addressed at some point anyway |

Those tools are for mugging, not stealth, lol. (Except the lock-pick. That's usually included in thieves tools. The question is whether or not the person knows how to use it, and how skilled they are at using it. yum_puddi )

I'll admit that it would be cheating in a competition, but what if you got attacked by one of these and it dragged you below the water's surface?:
(Yeah, I kept my favourite miiverse posts.)
Xa44 the idea is that the puddle goes into the dirt so nothing would be viable
The puddle may not go into the dirt if you can alter the consistency of the liquid. Like making it thicker, kinda like slime or something.
Xa44 yeah, it is a fishing town mainly, that's why you can buy swimsuits there as well
So Terran would probably know how to swim then. (He doesn't have to like it, though! I get the feeling he's not a big fan of swimming.)
Xa44 nope visbility is fine, dark town was the best place in the world befor the war but everyone just hated them, but they have a democratic gov and the most advanced tec
... So it's not so "secluded" then?
Xa44 16, because that is more fun
Well, at least Terran can legally carry around his bottle of wine. sweatdrop
Xa44 dragon slap is a rediculously powerful drink, one sip makes you feel like you got slaped by a dragon, that drunk, every round after drinking it you will cast a random spell that you know at a target the GM picks
So it's a recipie for a barfight. Sounds like fun!
Xa44 dooreat is door eat it is a dorito bag basicly
Ha! I get it. (So it's cheezed chips, eh?)
Xa44 collection of book gives EXP overnight if you wanna read
I see. Sounds useful. (I kinda think I like that.)
Xa44 the house prices are for actual strait up houses not inns(do need to add that)
You mean for owning a house???
Xa44 maybe? bag of holding kinda makes that seem useless
The wagon this is more for transporting people instead of having to walk. (Horse-drawn wagon might be useful for travelling to certain places. We don't need to use one, but it's nice to have the option in case we ever get enough gold to splurge on a luxury ride, lol.)
Xa44 it's fine most needed to be addressed at some point anyway
I figure that my asking questions makes you think, so I'm gonna keep asking stuff! (Because I feel like I need to know the world that my character is familiar with.)
Xa44 Haru Yates Another suggestion for a nature spell: something along the lines of "animal companions" or "animal messenger". A talk to animals thing could work but that effects is obtainable with lightning and also I like the idea of them not being able to talk really, that way bonding with a animals can be more impactful
I was thinking more along the lines or an animal familiar, a "pet" (not sure if that's the right word, but it's closest to what I mean); or a messenger animal that you can call upon to deliver letters and stuff like a carrier pigeon. (or an owl if you're a Harry Potter fan.)
Xa44 Haru Yates Are there any spells to summon creatures or beasts? Like a Summoner Class/Build? Most earth spells are based on that gimmick, that is why sit is a spell
Ah, so that's why it's called "sit".
Xa44 Haru Yates And finally, if shade can be used to manipulate shadows and such, then how does it differ from conjure shadow? Is it something like the difference between this: *shadow being cast and moving independently. and something like this?: *Shadow materializing as a thick black smoke-like substance. [img sources: ... google images.]Yes but way more extreme, that spell lets you do allusions and more advanced things
Way more extreme as in the pictures are more extreme than the spell, or the spell is more extreme than the pictures?
And which spell is which effect?
Also I'ma drill this into your head sooner or later, lol! It's illusion with an i. Allusion means something different. wink
Xa44 Haru Yates Are there restrictions for Nature's consume spell? Such as the maximum size of things that can be eaten, and weather or not it's limited to food or non-living targets? (In other words, can enemies be devoured?) In addition, is there a spell to make a target grow and shrink? Nope as long as you can keep eating you keep getting bigger Also I love the idea of there being a barbarian type character but instead of raging he just eats dirt and gets real big LOLOLOLOL
OMG, make it a goblin barbarian! (Could you imagine?) |

Just kill it
Haru Yates The puddle may not go into the dirt if you can alter the consistency of the liquid. Like making it thicker, kinda like slime or something.
If you did that it would probably hurt
Haru Yates ... So it's not so "secluded" then?
No
Haru Yates Well, at least Terran can legally carry around his bottle of wine. sweatdrop
How old is he, 15?(probably still would let him drink because people don't care that much)
Haru Yates You mean for owning a house???
Yep
Haru Yates The wagon this is more for transporting people instead of having to walk. (Horse-drawn wagon might be useful for travelling to certain places. We don't need to use one, but it's nice to have the option in case we ever get enough gold to splurge on a luxury ride, lol.)
A horse would do the same a wagon wouldn't be needed(maybe have a different thing instead of horses, lizards?)
Haru Yates I was thinking more along the lines or an animal familiar, a "pet" (not sure if that's the right word, but it's closest to what I mean); or a messenger animal that you can call upon to deliver letters and stuff like a carrier pigeon. (or an owl if you're a Harry Potter fan.)
You could still train birds
Haru Yates Way more extreme as in the pictures are more extreme than the spell, or the spell is more extreme than the pictures? And which spell is which effect?
The first would be shade and even that is a stretch, the other you can do basically anything, even have a floating Shadow |

Easier said than done if you'r grappled and panicking. (I can't see my shadows as being all that useful here unless they can cause madness and make it trash about, which could do more damage to me while I'm grappled... I suppose that shadow darts or whatever we call them might hurt it, but can I hold my breath long enough to get free? cat_confused )

How? Water has no bones or nerves?
Xa44 Haru Yates Well, at least Terran can legally carry around his bottle of wine. sweatdrop How old is he, 15?(probably still would let him drink because people don't care that much)
I was on the fence over whether or not he should be 15 or 16, but ended up settling on 16. (I imagined him as being a lot more angsty at age 15 and a lot more short tempered. Making him 16 gives him an opportunity to be more mature and level-headed, which is something I really did want him to be. Although he still has a bit of a short fuse when he's in a bad mood, especially when it comes to his mother. [He often doesn't respond to insults made about him because he's used to that and doesn't care much (although even that has a limit), but the moment you insult Yulia, something usually snaps.])
Xa44 Haru Yates The wagon this is more for transporting people instead of having to walk. (Horse-drawn wagon might be useful for travelling to certain places.

"Ride ze shoopuf?"
Xa44 Haru Yates Way more extreme as in the pictures are more extreme than the spell, or the spell is more extreme than the pictures? And which spell is which effect? The first would be shade and even that is a stretch, the other you can do basically anything, even have a floating Shadow
A stretch how? too much movement?
[Another spell idea would be something similar in that a fire mage could create images/objects out of smoke to tell stories and send smoke signals. Is that covered under the "Flame" spell.]
So could you, say, create/conjure a shadow-doppelganger of sorts with conjure shadow? (Like an anti-Sora [kingdom Hearts1] in a sense? Or could that be a different spell?)
Or what can I do with Conjure shadow? (like, what can a floating shadow do?) |
