LE AD&D spell overhaul

[metaton]

Hi,

 

Would be really good to see a complete magic overhaul, but not like some spells a bit cheaper, some more expensive kind of stuff, overhaul for real!

 

Spell levels.

 

Just like in AD&D. 9 spell levels, with tons of new AD&D like spells, you need to memorize them, for that you will need a spell book. If the book is not in your inventory, you won`t be able to memorize spells.

Spell book could be made really nice, and artistic. All the learned spells could turn up in it.

Memorizing would take a good hour, then the character needs to sleep at least 8 hours.

(portable bedrolls YAY)

 

New spells can be learned from scrolls, with a success chance, if it fails, then the scroll is destroyed, and the spell hasn`t been learned.

 

Specialization: for real... not just cheaper spells, if you are specialized in Necromancy, you can cast higher level necro spells (than your current level) but your level or numbers of the spells for memorizing will be less for all the other schools and you cannot learn spells at all from the opposite school (for ex. illusion)

 

you can memorize a number of spells (depends on you level and magical knowledge) for each spell level. If you used them all, you need to memorize again and sleep again.

High level mages would have more spells, and more powerful spells.

 

Redesign spells, as there is no mana. More powerful spells, and more versatile as the character won`t be a fire spitting magic fountain with unlimited magic. Like in AD&D. It would need at least 100 of new spells for the overhaul, and block/delete /get rid of the old ones as they not fit.

 

Or...all the spells from mods could be used and distributed to levels (Apocalypse, colorful magic, Spectraverse Midas magic etc...) Of course for that it would need permission from these mods authors, and still some new and interesting magic would need to be designed like acid arrow, angelic host, desintegration, etc...)

 

Separate places for the young mages to learn the school:

 

Necromancy, and old ugly witch in a swamp, and the char needs to do quests for her...

Ilusion circus magician, quests with the circus.

etc.

 

this would require a new quest overhaul as well (new locations, new quests, new npcs)

 

I know it would be a huge mod, and difficult to do, but just imagine...
