Magic Effects

[Chaossama]

I'm just wondering, for all those people who are good at using the Construction Set, whether or not you can change what a magic effect does. Oftentimes, I've wanted to make my own magic effect the same way I can make a spell. Is that even possible?

You can alter existing magic effects in a very limited fashion. For example, you could change the creature summoned by a particular magic effect. You can't create new magic effects and you can't edit most of the bit flags that go with it.

That's not really true. There is a special spell called "script effect". Obviously, this means you can add a script to the spell, to make strange/unique effects. Of course you need to be able to script for this. :)
