As Wizard week starts next week (YEAH – Wizard Week!)

1. I’d like to hear people’s craziest Ritual stories.

2. What spells ‘need’ to be added not covered by Ritual? You identified Walls the other day, for example.

3. Robert Slaughter well, as mentioned in another discussion – spells that we want to have useable on the fly without a place of power, but which do not tread on the toes of other classes. 

4. let’s identify them and write them down!

5. I for one want another level 3 damaging spell, an alternative to fireball. The problem is working out a good balance. Fireball is devastating, but due to being an area effect, not tactically effective in every situation. I’d love to see another spell that is equally lacking in universal utility, but in a different way. 

6. A system in which magic gets less effective as a region civilizes.

7. I’m pretty new to DW, so this may have already been done to death in other threads, but what about familiars?

8. On my List Isa Wills. If you make a search for Familiar there are already moves for this made a long time ago.  

9. Tim Franzke yeah, I figured that would be the case. Thanks for the heads up.

10. Tim Franzke do you have a link for familiars, or would I be better served with a search?

    Also, I still want a magic system or compendium class all about commanding spirits, a la World of Dungeons wizards.

11. Commanding Spirits:

    This does not help you i guess? It’s more ley lines but it’S something. 

    I would like to do something more Burning Wheel Spirit Binding like but haven’t had the hit of inspiration yet…

12. Familiar:

13. Ripping from the complete wizard books and quintessential wizard books. Some things I am working in this week:

    Nexus staff –

    summon spells – based on what monsters the wizard has slain

    Cost of rituals when there is no place of power around

    Braided spells,

    And

    A slew of spells

14. I warn you, I’m so bothered  by those weak damaging spells (and by players who ask them… 😉 ) I’m contributing with my table’s version of chain lightning (2d8, lvl 5), cone of cold (2d10, lvl 7) and meteor swarm (2d12, lvl 9) right from the start just to end this agony.

    Also, Flight.

15. Would like to see your take on the Flight spell Alessandro Gianni. 

16. Flight (Level 3, Ongoing)

    You can fly! While this spell is ongoing, you take -1 ongoing to cast a spell rolls.

17. How fast, how high? What happens when the spell end and you fly? How good can you fly?

    You need to adress at least these things or every player jsut says: “well i fly like superman of course!”

18. but that’s exactly the point!

19. wouldn’t fly in my game.

    (pun NOT intended)

20. actual play:

    Peter Pan Diamond Edition – You Can Fly Clip

21. this i can see!

    (but then the spell write up needs a peter pan reference)

22. back to the main topic: I’d like to see a sorcerer/warlock class that casts spell without preparation. Not sure if appropriate for a wizard week, but still.

23. The same spells as the wizard?

24. Maybe? Or maybe, spells from any list. Or maybe original, new spells.

25. Well there is the Mage and the channeler and the witch…

26. I was just rereading the mage. I want spells! And I want CHA to be the stat for them. I think.

27. Okay cool…

    I will think about it. I actually had some sorcerer ideas some time ago. Lets see what I can unearth

28. Minor WW related breakthrough:

    I might have found a way to do signature spell!

    Anyway, I would like to see a discussion of using “spell slots” as a resource. Spending spells you already have prepared for effect or leaving your brain empty of some spells by design.

    Btw: I got another sweet idea!

29. Alessandro Gianni how important is spontaneous casting to you? I can make a cool cha wizard but spon casting is tricky to do with the current spell wordings…

    What do you say? It will be different from the wizard in a lot of ways but will use the same spellcasting move.

30. I don’t know! In my imagination, I have this character that can cast spells because of his inner energy instead of having to learn and study them.
