JASS GUI Spell Contest

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU ASK ANY QUESTIONS. MAYBE YOU'LL FIND THE ANSWER

This is my spell contest. The prize at now is your name in my sig, and satisfaction.

Deadline : 10 June

You have to make 8 spells, put them in map and pm me a link. Map must have somewhere told "For Jacek's
Spell Contest". Also put in the map info which spell to which section. You can make less spells, but no
more.

The spells can be in GUI or JASS. Triggered or non-triggered. The spells can be auras, novas, AOEs,
everything. You can use imported models but I won't give even one more point for it.

UMSWE is allowed. WEU is NOT allowed. Vexorian's Caster System is NOT allowed

Max points is 75 per spell.

25 points : Idea of spell. Unique or no
15 points : Coding, if it leaks or not
15 points : Balancing of ability. Not too strong, not too weak
10 points : Special Effects. Nice looking.
10 points : How to import it? Commented code.

The spell cannot lag, be unique, must look good (just good, so it will no lag), and must be easy to import
to map (you must include import info).

If your spell lag, then you get half points. If you code it well it won't lag.

Sections :

A) Blades - throw blade, silent kill, blade barrier. (example Fan of Knives)

B) Weather - rain, snow, lightnings, fog (example Monsoon)

C) Summon Elemental - fire, ice, lightning, bone, water elemental. Must have some
special abilities, e.g. fire elemental will be burning and/or splitting himself. The spells the elemental own must be your own.

D) Shapeshifting - change one unit to other (example Metamorphosis)

E) Distraction - makes enemy units lose control (example Diablo's Terror, Attract)

F) Heal - heals own units (example Tranquility)

G) Merge - few units merge into one more powerful (example Starcraft's Archon Meld)

H) Prison - encloses enemies, damaging them for example or giving them protection (example Diablo's Bone Prison, Fire Cage)

I) Attack Bonus - gives a % bonus on attack. (example Cold Arrows, Critical Strike)

If you have more questions - just ask.

Hmm... Rules are not developed much and they look so damn close to Arcane Competition's. Good luck judging! I won't join since it would be unfair...

Much are close from AC because i think they are very good. If it bothers you, no problem i could change some. But I think AC is an example of good contest we should look at.

Nonono... Its ok. I didn't make it as a bad comment. I'm just glad such contests appear on wc3sear.ch as well. I love these types of contests! However, you could improve the rules a little bit more. Maybe the "rating" part.

EDIT : Wrote the Ratings and added section "Attack Bonus". I'll try to judge them, and I won't take AC results into consideration.
Daelin could you delete your posts? I think they are unnecessary. If you want they can stay but I really would like them deleted.
