Recharger - Electrifier - Transmogrifier

[MithranArkanere]

My basic idea is a portable device to destroy scrolls and recharge staves and other items in exchange.

I've been looking for this for some time now, so I think that if it exists, I won't find it on my own, and if it doesn't, it would be great if anyone did it. And I found rather weird that after so many time no one found something like this.

I don't have much time for mod making (I would try to do it myself if I had) but I will surely help with textures, certain traductions and, of course, testing, if anyone wanted to make it.

 

 

I've seem items like those in many games.

In neverwinter there is the magical electrifier.

Diablo had the Horadric Cube. It had many other uses, but it could recharge items too. I know there is an horadric cube mod, but what I ask for is rather simpler, and that mod doesn't do it.

 

The idea can be extended in many ways. For example:

What I'm looking for is an portable system that will destroy items with magic properties to recharge others or do stuff with the charge.

For example, you have some enchanted rings you don't use, a poor quality enchanted dagger with the charge gone, a plethora of scrolls and a neat staff.

 

You want the staff recharged, but your stones are gone, the nearest Ayleid ruin is far aways, the neares town is even farther, and you refuse to use 'spell recharge' spells, considering them cheats.

 

The system I suggest could be implemented as an item that, when used, opens a menu.

The menu would have different option depending on charge. A higher charge would reveal better options. The best option would require a lot of charge.

Let's see some examples. (Note: The numbers are just for example reference, I'm not detailing balance, so I don't mean those exact numbers.)

- It could open itself so you can put items.

Any item that can be consumed will be destroyed, and the item name would change from "Name [0]" to "Name [charge]".

For example: "Transmogrifier [3572]".

Any item that can't be destroyed will be sent back to your inventory, so it won't work as a 'bag of holding".

The charge would depend on the price of the item.

That way, during your explorations, instead going to town, selling the stuff, and then recharging with the cash, you could directly destroy the items and get the charge.

 

 

And once you have charge, here are some examples of what it could do.

 

- At least 50 charge: Recover your magicka, giving you 2 points of magicka each point of recharge, until you magicka is filled or the charge depleted.

 

- At least 200 charge: Recharge items until the charge is depleted. 1 point of recharge for every 4 points of charge.

A container appears. You put items there, and they are recharged and sent back to your inventory in the same order you put them in, until the bag runs out of charge. After one items you put in the bag can't be recharged, you receive a message to close the container every time you put something inside it.

 

- At least <variable> charge. Charge stones. 1 point of recharge for every 8 points of charge, but can only charge complete souls. For a 150 petty soul stone, you'll need 1200 charge, for example. It won' recharge black soul gems, though.

A container appears too. You put stones there, and they are recharged and sent back to your inventory in the same order you put them in, until the bag runs out of charge.

Obviously, items that can't be charged would just go back to the inventory unaffected.

 

- At least 20000 charge. You magicka and all items are recharged. The charger loses all charge.

 

- At least 50000 charge. You magicka, items and you allies' magicka and items around you are recharged. The charger loses all charge.

 

- At least 100000 charge. Magicka overload. All hostile creatures around you will receive an amount of damage equal to your current magicka + their current magicka. Additionally, they lose all their magicka, and you recover it all, and heal for half the magicka earned. The charger is destroyed, and you have to buy another (Sold at Rindir's, he would have just 10 of these).

 

 

What do you think? Could it be possible something like this? Anyone would like it? Destroy items -> Charge items / Destroy items -> Do stuff with the charge.
