| Summary | 0006419: Spell: Low-Gravity | ||||
| Description | There are many different implementation methods for this, but I will list a few. What: -Player Spell -Enemy Spell -Scroll -Entire region type, for some reason? -Secret mission gimmick? Who: -Applies to just the player, like an enchant -Applies to the player and all the player's spells (like that rock launch one, or the light snake) -Applies to ALL players in the current chunk -Applies to all entities in the current chunk Duration: -A single jump / cast -Toggle on/off with mana drain, like shields -A time limit per cast -Until the player takes damage -Until the player changes screens Effect: -Exactly like "slower falling speed" enchant : does/doesn't stack -Reduces fall damage taken -Increases damage taken while low-gravity is in effect (tradeoff?) -??? | ||||

The main use of such a spell, as differentiated from a similar enchant, would be the enchant is a semipermanent ability that you don't have to think about. It just is always on. A spell like this could be a short duration utility, such as for shooting a boss with rocks from farther away, or for making a particularly deadly room easier to navigate for a short while. Edit: ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A WAY FOR LIGHT SNAKE TO NOT FALL SO FAST. YOU ARE A BALL OF LIGHT YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE WEIGHT WHAT IS THE BIG IDEA. Just saying. |

As for what I feel would be a GOOD implementation, I think that a spell that drains mana until turned off (like the shield-type spells do currently) would be a good idea. |

As an interesting spin on the same idea, you could have a spell which makes you a walking ghost: draining your life away every second but granting you floaty, jumpy powers and a (harmless) miasma trail. |
