Arcane Competition

...

You could always do that, but your map would be removed, and you could be banned.

I think the prize are those orbs made into icons for warcraft III.

im in

...

If we use two sections in one spell (IE: Fire/Wind) is that disqualified? Or does that count twords both?

Yoz... I don't want to think about such mess stuff.

This message goes for everyone: Just brag with the orbs if you didn't actually earn them and I'll make sure to report you to the moderators. And I MEAN IT! There will be a list with the winners here.

Modeler: What do you mean? Fire/Wind are both considered elemental. As I said before, you are allowed to make a chain spell with Time effect and post it into either time or chain. But ONLY into one of them. As I mentioned before: 1 spell/section. 1 and only 1. And it has to be UNIQUE! That means that you can't have the same spell in two section!!!

I may have posted my spells fast but I spent a good 4 hours or so making them, the hardest part is coming up with an idea that fits into the categories, although I have to say it did make it easier to prevent making duplicates

...

I wasnt expecting to have this much trouble, but im finding it hard to think up original spells of theyse catigorys, either its been done, its jass-only, or it just doesnt work. But luckily, its pushing my creativity to the max, i have 5 spells semi-done, and 2 other spells in the beta thought phase. Basicaly i think it was a great contest idea and i hope to see more people's spells soon .

Xipe... when I checked your spells I kinda had a shock. It seems that you misunderstood some of the sections. For example... when I said a chain spell I didn't mean a summoned which always follows the caster and randomly casts Healing Wave which affects a single unit. By a chain spell I meant a spell which affects units in chain, one after another. Like Healing Wave and Chain Lightning and Spirit Link... They affect units in CHAIN.

And as for projectile... You didn't get it AT ALL. Projectile spell for example is when you make a fireball spell. Like... you create a dummy unit instead of the fireball and when it encounters an enemy unit, it is killed. At the same moment you create dummy units to damage each unit around the fireball. Got the idea? Another such projectile spell would be Vexorian's Frozen Orb. WHY? Because it creates an orb which unleashes a lot of little ice projectiles. These projectile dummy units act like missiles.

And as for Day/Night... Umm, I meant a spell which works either only during the day or during the night. Like Hide. Hide doesn't work during the night. You noticed that, right?

Last but not least, summoned units are summoned units (like Lava Spawn, Water Elemental, Hawk and others). Your summoned is more like a projectile if you know what I mean. Two units which act like projectiles. Summoned is an unit controllable by the caster possible with unique abilities (but through abilities I don't mean spells... Have a look at Lava Spawns which are incredible but they don't have custom abilities. Just the ability to multiplicate after 12 attacks).

The healing one was going to be what you said, with a twist, it was going to be the summoned guy that cycled randomly through several chained spells, like a chain frost nova type deal but I got lazy by that time. And oh well if my stuff doesn't fit, disqualify me I really don't care as the "prize" isn't really much incentive to do anything. I sorta disregarded your sections and ended up just making some spells I had felt like making.And as for blind I goofed it, the blinding effect only happens during the day but apparently when I was trimming some of the fat off I removed that by accident. And yes Daelin I did notice that Hide only works during the night, or wait? am I the total noob you seem to be? Oh thats right, hide only works at night to keep Night Elf units from attacking once they Shadow Meld. Oh and sorry to further correct you but the count for splitting of the Lava Spawns is 15, not 12. And either way Daelin, if you adhere so strictly to your limitations then how is anyone supposed to be creative? Either way it is inconsequential as I don't care about your little contest, I entered it to have fun not to be hampered by someone's limited view of spells and the way they should be put together.

Well the problem is simple, all the triggers in WE are fully explored. You need to do w/ JASS for someone to make a unique spell.

well, im in, ill have a spell for each catagory in a bit so yeah

Xipe... You are being far too harsh. Your morph spell let's say was excellent. Better than anything I expected. Though it still had some bugs... it was very very good. I'm sorry if I offended you or something but these are the rules of the contest and you are the first one to complain. And good news... I just updated the first post by adding yet another section which might make you happy: Creativity. Sorry if I made you feel bad through my post but that wasn't the idea.

Ok guys... no more "before the deadline" judging. It seems that though I thought to assure that you get the sections, I still get complains. If you are confused about any of the sections, PM me and I will do my best to clear things up. Thank you!

Alright then, judge my spells not by what I listed them as but what you think they would best fit under. I'll make a new chain-type spell. And as for the glitches in my Morph-type spell I can't get the timing any better than it is. Its as good as I know how to do it, unles.... Alright I'm back into the competition. I'll rearrange the spells to fit the proper sections.

...

I like the new spell catagory, just wondering if i should submit my spells when im done, or when judging begins?

You should submit them as soon as you finish them. I think Daelin will do a preliminary judgements.
