Line 39:
** Explosion - Ranged attack on several enemies + pushing away the enemies around ( + damaging yourself a bit)
** Lava - Ranged attack on several enemies [[File:lava.png]] - stronger than explosion ^^
** Power - Boost skills for short time [[File:New_Power_spell.png]] {{done}}
** Adding a sound around the player (should somehow fit to the nature)
 
Line 56:
** Colour a pet / sheep
** Different outfit
* Walk through walls (care needed to be sure disallowed areas aren't reachable, perhaps only to certain preset portals or if there is a path - just might be a long path without the shortcut)
 
=== Needed Changes To Entities {{done}}===
Some spell like Freeze or Weaken Creature temporarily affect specific attributes of an entity. As it is reasonable not to change the attributes themselves, it is necessary to add attribute modifiers to an entity. But as this is not the only kind of effects, that can be applied to an entity, this is documented on a separate [[Ideas for Stendhal/Effects|page]]
 
A first approach would store the modifier factors in a class and the entity classes compute an attribute's value by summing up all modifiers and applying it to the actual attribute's value. To reflect the temporal nature of a modifier it is capable of determining its validity based on a timestamp within the method ''isValid''. This approach has the obvious disadvantage, that within ''GuidedEntity'' the modifiers for not existing attributes are available.
 
The second approach uses an additional layer of indirection to hide the modifiers for not existing attributes. On each level of the entity inheritance hierarchy is a specific modifier defined that is called to calculate the modified value.
 
The TurnNotifier is used to clean up expired modifiers. As a modifier is able to distinguish between being valid and not, it is not necessary, that this clean up helper runs every second or even more frequently.

The second option has been implemented.
 
There still needs to be a generic way on how to display the modified attributes at the client side.
