Mana
|
|
- Mana is mental energy/thought
|
|
- Mana can be generated by:
|
|
= natural growth of amethyst crystals
|
|
= lightning?
|
|
= XP?
|
|
= organics -> corpses, shrubs? (anything edible + anything compostable?)
|
|
- Mana generation turns amethyst into perfect crystals, recharges batteries
|
|
|
|
Amethyst
|
|
- Amethyst stores mana
|
|
- Amethyst comes in dust, crystals, perfect crystals
|
|
- Each type is worth X mana; must consume an entire item; use up mana producing items least->greatest
|
|
- Later-game create rechargeable mana batteries?
|
|
|
|
Wandless Spellcasting
|
|
- do away with trinkets
|
|
- cyphers start with X mana crystals inside and cannot replace them
|
|
- artifacts can replace the mana crystals inside as they break
|
|
- these are special in that they can partially consume crystals
|
|
|
|
Per-world patterns
|
|
- all spells are like this?
|
|
- only great spells are like this?
|
|
- find the patterns on scrolls in chests
|
|
|
|
CastException
|
|
- Tiers of spell mishaps:
|
|
= puff of smoke, drop your wand
|
|
= consume a lot of mana, drop all your items
|
|
= just kill you, something apt for a great spell
|
|
- Mishap based on the type of exception
|
|
- item that gives you more detail on the precise manner of the exception
|
|
|
|
Great Spells
|
|
- require some kind of answer to a question to cast successfully
|
|
(see young wizards calculating oxygen amounts to teleport to the moon)
|
|
- https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Epic_Spells_and_Powers
|
|
- greater teleport:
|
|
= total items in inventory? (see chronometer fablehaven not taking your clothes with you)
|
|
= some irritating math question about the specific vector involved?
|
|
= review eragon's teleportation spell, D&D teleport, oathgates
|
|
- flight
|
|
= you must be on the ground within X seconds or you take infinite fall damage
|
|
- quarry region
|
|
- power word kill
|
|
|
|
Great Work
|
|
- Way to generate infinite mana
|
|
= recharge wands/batteries upon touching them?
|
|
- borrow from FMA and require the death of 100+ entities at once? (And if not, it gets the caster?)
|
|
- nigredo albedo citrinas rubedo?
|
|
> Nigredo is the dissolution of the false self; the burning of the old to ashes
|
|
> Albedo is the "raising" of the remains to the heavenly sphere in gaseous form; take the ashes and make them reborn
|
|
> Citrinas is an optional step but it boils down to some form of "aging" or "wisdom" (which comes with age);
|
|
take the newborn (true) self and temper it with time and/or knowledge
|
|
> Rubedo is the final distillation; you take the results from albedo/citrinas and you compress them down to a usable
|
|
form, the stone
|
|
-- alwinfy
|
|
- instructions in the form of an emerald-tablet-esque riddle
|
|
= include one line on each spell scroll
|
|
= assemble the poem, crack the riddle, &c
|
|
- possible workflow:
|
|
= Cast the first half of the spell, requiring an enumeration of your sins:
|
|
+ numbers of villagers killed?
|
|
+ number of passives killed?
|
|
+ total damage dealt?
|
|
You must have no items and no XP (caveat for keepInventory players: under 1 level of XP)
|
|
= Timer starts (Witness-esque music track?)
|
|
= Nigredo: endure 10 seconds of Wither and 10 seconds of constant fire without picking up any items.
|
|
= Albedo:
|
|
+ teleport 64 blocks in the air and survive the fall?
|
|
+ gain levitation for X seconds; by the time you hit the floor you must have done Y?
|
|
+ cure a zombie villager?
|
|
= Citrinitas:
|
|
+ Fight a bunch of mobs?
|
|
+ Must have 30+ XP levels to cast the second half?
|
|
= Cast the second half of the spell, requiring an enumeration of your accomplishments:
|
|
+ diamonds mined?
|
|
+ raids won?
|
|
+ spells cast?
|
|
+ undead slain?
|
|
= Rubedo: Attain the Great Work. |
