Spell Weapons

[Srgnt Rehab]

This concept already somewhat exists, but its a wand or a book of some sort where every attack is a spell.

The regular click is a simpe frostbolt, but much more useful in the sense that the damage is actually useful.
The First charge is an instant pillar of ice-ish thing that pushes instantly from wherever you are aiming at, pushing enemies into the air a small distance. (This would look similar to a volcano appearing except much faster and when it is made it pushes enemies, also it would go back down within a second rather then staying there pushing anything that taps it)
The Second charge is a short distance instant push back with high frost damage, pushing the enemies upward and backward, which could prove to be a helpful defense or a good offense.

Pushes would not work on bosses or any enemies with ice resist.

Thought you were going a different route with 'Spell Weapons'.. I don't remember, Thothie. What was the consensus on spells that created temporary weapons? Say, a Scroll of Ice Summoning which creates a sword/axe/blunt (based on your highest skill/random/lowest skill or something) that trains Ice. Very powerful, but disappears after a bit. Perhaps its power is based on what skill summoned it. Would have a lot of interesting tie-ins to the title system..

Back on topic, it's a good idea. Only reason it hasn't been done, I think, is lack of model and Thothie not having time for it (or a good place to put it)

I'd be willing to work on a map to put such spells that are secretly weapons but I'll call them spells. Would take me a long time though, as you have seen, I'm a busy person.

Heh, the Iron Guardian already has this, after a fashion. Would make a pretty kick-ass Summon Sword spell, too. I think that he's thinking more along the lines of staves and wands than summoned weapons.

Could be done... There's actually nothing stopping the spell system from summoning a weapon instead of a magic hand script, SFAIK. Had intended to do it for the various magical specialists Titles.

I was going to see if I could make a sprite based sword (ie. fog of fire with a hilt, or lightning beam, as Orochi mentioned). I think all that it would require is some extra bones along the line of the sword to attach the sprite to - or in the beam's case, just one to attach the other end to.
