Spell Ideas - explanation about "Knowing"

• Light
  • Knowing - The player has the ability to know what's happening now at this place!

First, the player activates the spell.

A window opens, a list of different places is showing up.

Now, he selects a place from the list.

A minimap appears that shows where creatures or players are, like white points moving around - and this in real time.

Maybe, the window with the list will close automatically after 1 min.

- examplary places can be : 

Kikareukin (4 places)

1.position for reallook: 4_kikareukin_cave at(43,41)minimap: 4_kikareukin_cave

2.position for reallook: 5_kikareukin_cave at(25,30)minimap: 5_kikareukin_cave

Comment by RedQueen:

I like that idea! Although the implementation might be difficult. I'd suggest not to add a list of different places or another minimap, but to add moving points for creatures in the existing minimap at that current place the player is located (for 1 minute). So he can see if there are any creatures around that he can not yet see (but might be dangerous ^^).

Illustration of activated spell idea/Ideen den aktivierten spell darzustellen:

- overlay a counter on the icon of the activated spell until it will be disabled/

übergelagert dem Icon des aktivierten spell, einen counter ablaufen lassen bis der spell inaktiv wird !

- showing the karma status of the activated spell in addition on the left side of the main window, at the display areaof the HP status/

zusätzlich auf der linken Seite des Hauptfensters, im Anzeigebereich des HP-status-Feldes

  unter dem karma status den aktivierten spell einblenden, siehe grafik.
