=== Needed Changes To Entities ===
=== Needed Changes To Entities ===
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.
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''.

== Mages ==
The player is not going to have to decide his class to be a mage in order to be able to use magic.
We are not going to have a strict line, between warrior and mage.
Players might be 80% warrior 20% mage because they happen to fight 80% of the time and only use magic 20% of the time
Our implementation of magic, the balancing above, is what will ensure, that the player can't be overpowerful or combine brute force with magic, effectively.
