Don't you think ADOM needs more cool spells?If so,what would they be? Firewall Not sure if ADOM already has this spell. It would be really cool though,sweeping through a mass of monsters. Static Electricty Touch the target monster and he/she is stunned. Isn't it every ADOMer's right to dream? Fear me not,I'll go nice on you....For now. |

Armageddon Every wall that can be broken have a 50% chance of crumbling. All creatures on current level(including you) takes 5d10 cold damage, 5d10 lightning damage, 5d10 fire damage, 5d10 acid damage, and 5d40 magical damage (like magic missle). All survivors are stunned and deafened and takes 2d5 damage each turn they are in the level, this lasts for 10d20 turns. All items on floor has a 85% chance of melting. Well... I can always wish. :D "The past is a ghost that haunts you from the moment it exists until the moment you don't" [Edited 1 time, last edit on 11/12/2003 at 23:32 (GMT -5) by Gordismo] |

Gordismo- LOL. Storm Summons a storm(can only be used outside).The storm will strike random lightning bolts at the current location,hitting anything(including you).The storm lasts for a few turns.

I'd actually like other improved balls than just fire. Why not? If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

Indeed, Improved Acid ball would be a killer. |

I'd love a death ball and improved death ball. Could be overpowered, though. Sytytä toiselle tuli ja hän pysyy lämpimänä jonkin aikaa. Sytytä hänet palamaan ja hän pysyy lämpimänä loppuelämänsä. |

Yes, how about an Improved Multielemental-death ball? And I would say yes to the Improved Ice Ball and Lighting Ball, but no, to the Improved Acid Ball. There almost aren't any acid resistant creatures out there, and most dangerous stuff is immune to fire - that's propably why we have an Improved fireball. ;) As for new spells - I'd really like a Cone of Cold, Shocking Grasp and Acid Touch, working the same way as Burning Hands. Or a bizzare spell of Death Wish: kills one creature or PC from the level it's casted upon, at random. :) A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel. A realist sees a train. And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks. |

How about a magic ball? Same type of damage as magic bolt. That would result in an unshruggable, unresistable spell. Wouldn't that be fun :P Oh wait, oh yeah, it wouldn't. If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

Yea, but a Magic Spark, that would work as a magic version of burining hands would be fun :P A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel. A realist sees a train. And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks. |

Some sort version of 'Time Stop' would be nice. It would dramatically slow or even stop (with experienced mages) the timeflow surrounding the mage. Then he/she could blast spells or drink or whatever.. Duration should be pretty short, though. Not my own idea, just a ripoff from BG2. Icesus |

A spell that when it's on, u can't die, but as soon as u *would* have died, it's un-cast. It would have a pretty heavy cost, like 500pp, and maybe a mana pt. You wish to kill me? Good thing I brought my psychic hamster named Hamster with me... |

Am I the only one amused by Anarchy2's posts? MAJOR HINT: Read the Game Manual and maybe even the Guidebook. Icesus |

lol what about a spell that increases stats? or at least appearance, since most corruptions decrease that. Taz: A potion of gain attributes (4s) is lying here. Suddenly a stone block hits your head! Something on the ground is smashed to pieces! PeanutGod: Awwww no! How harsh is that! This is where you need the artefact 'mop and bucket'. |

I don't think that'd be a good idea. If it were a temporary boost of 1, it'd be useless. It it were a bigger boost, it'd be too powerful, 'cause you'd run around with increased stats all the time (ā la strength of atlas). Maybe a stat increasing spell could give a temporary boost of 10 or so to a stat, after which it would decrease the stat by 1 due to exhaustion or sth like that. Kind of like a drug, you could use it for quite a long time as a performance enhancer, but slowly your body would crumble. Eg if a casting lasted 1000 turns with a boost of 10 you would get negative effects only after 10000 turns if used all the time. If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

Ok, a spell like Taz's, it would be a Spell of Balance- and w/e the +* is, is what it's average +* would be :-D (like the POTION of balance, not scroll, btw) You wish to kill me? Good thing I brought my psychic hamster named Hamster with me... |

Taz Registered user Registered user Last page view: 5035 days, 25 minutes and 49 seconds ago. |
that was confusing... i guess you should only read the bit in the brackets yeah, the idea of getting a temp boost then losing one permanently sounds good. though, depending on the stat and how high it is, it shouldn't be hard to get that one point back again.

Hm... Shuffle. Area spell like normal foo balls. Randomly swaps the monsters in its area around (including caster). Shuffled monsters get angry at the caster. Wheel of Fortune. Again, an area spell. All monsters in the area of effect (excluding uniques) are subjected to a random effect like: -Instantly killed -Healed to full hit points/magic points -Heavily corrupted -Cured of (some) corruption -Transformed into some other monster (like using a !oEx) I think I need to lie down...

Haste - temporary increase to speed :P Quicksand - like the web spell, but can't be burned or shrugged off (temporary, of course... or maybe if it only slowed down monsters you could have a permanent version) Taz: A potion of gain attributes (4s) is lying here.

How about adding special spells/powers for druids? Like the ability to control an animal/plant at will.Maybe the animated trees. Fear me not,I'll go nice on you....For now. |

And elementalist-only spells too: Elemental Portal - Summons a large number of random vortices, all tame. Caution : Not to be used unless you are immune to fire, ice, lightning, and acid. It would, of course, cost a very large amount of mana. Elemental Storm - Like casting all four normal balls in succesion : I.e, it has the radius of any ball, but does the damage of acid, plus that of fire, plus that of ice, plus that of lightning. It would also cost a huge amount of mana. ChAoS iS cOmInG! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! |

Elementals already have an elemental storm, the one which fires a random bolt in all directions. |

And what about Necromancers? Dark Transformation Once an enemy humanoid is touched,he/she will transform into a random undead creature after a few turns.He/she will become your slave. Dark Plague Spreads a deadly plague,which affects all creatures entering it's radius.The affected monster will either rot to death,or transform into a zombie(untamed). I couldn't come up with better names for the spells. :( Fear me not,I'll go nice on you....For now. [Edited 1 time, last edit on 11/24/2003 at 08:13 (GMT -5) by Anarchy2] |

Necromancers get Vampire Touch as a class power, that's a cool thing (but not any usefull - it would be much more fun on a Beastfighter >:D ). I don't thing they should get any special spells, they are just masters of Necromancy, not some Death Wizard/Lich. And Elementalists should get some wind-based spells that would work like telekinesis blasts from Mindcrafters. A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel. A realist sees a train. And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks. |

dont think that druids should be able to control animals/plants, maybe they could persuade them instead? priests or healers could get a similar power to necromancers, the one where if you die, you come back from the dead.

Bards should have the ability to sing songs which could heal you,bless you,whatever.I mean,their talent with music should be put to good use! Since it's my 100th post(don't laugh),I'll probably go do something stupid like wipe out Terinyo or something.Cheers! Fear me not,I'll go nice on you....For now.
