Possiblities in permanent effect spells, and spells that dismiss those

[IonDune]

Would it be possible to create a spell that has permanent effects, and one that dismisses those effects? The idea I had in mind was a spell that summoned a horse, and a spell that dismissed it so I wouldn't have to deal with the logistics of a horse disappearing under a rider. Has any one ever attempted permanent effects from spells before, or is there a straightforward answer to whether or not it will work? Thank you for your time.

Use a scripted ability, have a method to add the ability to the player, have a method to remove the ability from the player. When added, spawn the horse, when removed, remove the horse. There are many ways you can do this.

Ok, thanks a lot. I just didn't want to try it if it was definitely impossible, or rather difficult but had already been done before. I've never been good with scripting.

 

EDIT: I fear I may have misunderstood you... If I make an ability that contains the effect that summons my horse (I used one of the extra summon slots), then two spells, one with a scripted effect to add the ability to the player, and one to remove it, will it work? Or am I completely misunderstanding?

 

EDIT2: And if the above will work, can I use the lines "player.addspell" and "player.removespell" for the scripted spells, or is there a different method I must use?

Just take a look at some of the custom summon mods out there, essentially the spell scripting will be the same, you'll just be attaching the scripting to an ability instead of a duration based spell. Depeding on how you want it to enable or disable this ability, that's the only part where you might need to get a bit creative.
