Ideas for Stendhal

Mostly implemented

Spells should be configurable via XML
- works so far see light.xml for example in CVS
Spells should follow the natures defined via the former DamageType
Spells have limitations
- limited casting frequency (cool down time)
- wearing special equipment (example in code)
- spells should need knowledge to learn for casting them (partly )
Spells are separated into 2 parts:
- The spell itself defining nature, mana use, cool down time and other possible prerequisites like equipment
- Spell's effect defining what the spell does i.e. a simple healing spell just uses a healing effect that could be reused for a mass healing spell affecting all players in range
Spells use mana
- necessary attributes called mana and base_mana are already there
Mana should be regenerated
- via potions
- slowly when no attacks are aiming at the player
Client Integration
- Small images to represent a spell
- GUI integration
  - Show spells
  - Cast spells
- Allow early testing
  - Script SummonSpell to obtain a spell
  - Slash action to cast a spell /cast
  - Mana can be manipulated via /alter (was already there)

Light
- Heal - Healing yourself or multiple players around
- Shield of Light - Increase defense for some time
Dark
- Drain - Draining health from the enemy to heal yourself
Ice
- Freeze - Slow down an enemy for some time
- Snow Storm - Push away enemies
Fire
- Fire ball - Ranged attack on one enemy
- Explosion - Ranged attack on several enemies + pushing away the enemies around ( + damaging yourself a bit)

effects should be configured in XML instead of subclassing Spell
instead of subclasses of spell defining separate preconditions for a spell the effects should do that
