In most RPG games, your spells at level 1 just sucks \ud83d\ude42 then when you level up, you gain more\/new spells which are more powerful, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>In many games like the most popular million dollar budget RPGs, <strong>the spell at level 50 is just the same spell at level 1<\/strong>, but instead of being named &#8220;Spark&#8221;, it is named &#8220;Infernal Flame&#8221;, and instead of doing 1dmg, it does 150 dmg!<\/p>\n<p>What if the same spell you get at level 1 can be trained up and become that level 50 spell? why there&#8217;s the need to change the name and everytime replace it in your spellbook? it is wasted time for the player on a boring task!<\/p>\n<p>In my game Tower Of Destiny, you&#8217;ll be able to train the spells you get at level 1. How? practicing it. In combat only, except for non-combat spells. For example, a spell like &#8220;summon food&#8221;, will increase everytime you cast it even if outside the combat. But a spell like &#8220;Heal&#8221; or &#8220;Summon Giant Rat&#8221; and so on will increase only if you cast it during the combat (to prevent cheating or bots).<\/p>\n<p>I think that&#8217;s much better. This way every new spell you get, will be really a new spell &#8211; and not just a replacement for your old one. For a Red Wizard for example you&#8217;ll be able to learn the &#8220;Fire arrow&#8221; spell at level 1 and it will do just 1-3 dmg. But as you keep using it, you&#8217;ll be able to raise the damage as you level up.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there will be some checks: if you level up too fast for some reason, or if you use other spells, the basic damage value will scale accordingly to your level (I don&#8217;t want a level 10 wizard doing 1-3 dmg!) but at the same time it won&#8217;t be so powerful as it could be if you kept using it during combat.<\/p>\n<p>This way each caster will shape up as you want it &#8211; and even if you get a new spell every 3 levels, <strong>they&#8217;ll be really new ones, <\/strong>not just older one renamed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m still adding the spells, and had what I believe a nice idea.
