Still working on it, I'm hoping for a great list kali
... maybe I can work on the program later tonight... for now... it's matrix time! Oh yeah, I've got a magic system designed now... but putting it to code will be interesting. It actually costs money (which is good because I can use the designs from the sword and gun systems) you buy books though, except... unlike the long range (gun) or short range (sword) the cost depends upon your "alignment" as do the power you can get out of them, the experience points to master them... even whether their available at the store or "hidden". Oh yes... I hope to make hidden items... but you'll have a lot of fun finding them as being in a location doesn't qualify one the ability to find them, I prefer event based, who knows though I may just fancy a player who makes reall REALLY good posts and with the concent of the GMs mesh the weapon or item into their storyline
... Anyways, the magic system makes use of latin because it err... sounds really cool! After all, it sounds so much cooler to say that your character made use of iodochryosis of the first order instead of saying Ice Level 1 or Erytho instead of fire, and yes, I use colors to match the ellement to the magic or special power type (If you don't like magic that's fine, others just use this as a generic term, in fact the official name for our abilities are called Ideoanima or one's spirit, symbolic of spiritual energy in play). If you get really good at this and we add more, who knows we may all become REALLY great at latin just by playing
... and it isn't as hard as you think, one moment your looking at me oddly, the next your asking your mother why she doesn't know that xantho stands for yellow in latin
! (I learnt a ton of fascinating myths in Nations and States through this method and you don't even realize it, but it really is fun!)
