Arcane Competition

Wow, thats some cool language you got there Daelin, well is anyone else done their spells? I wanna test some stuff. I gotta learn sometime you know

I think i will join.
I already have a spell made but I havnt submitted it anywhere.
It is currently in my map I'll have to extract it, I think it will win.

JacekI tried to say we are nearly neighbors. I understand the projectile but now the question : What about the 1.18 functions?

Congratulations for moderator

Thank you Jacek. And about the functions, you are obviously allowed to use them. I have 1.18 so that's not a problem. It would be pathetic if I didn't have it and so, to restrict people to 1.17. Good luck!

Please don't double post. And be ready to learn something cool. I am preparing to release a new tutorial.

Overconfidence does not suite you Xeridanus. But good luck!

Well, i've got a few spells ready, but i do have a minor question: can nature spells be considered as elemental?

EDIT:
Oh and another question: do spells have to have multiple levels (Hero spells)?

Nature: Yes it can.
Hero: It doesn't matter.

Btw everyone, I added two more sections and increased the duration of the contest up to 1 June. However, keep in mind that this is the last deadline increase I'm doing. I made this so I can have time to finish with school until then. Enjoy the new sections!

Will say, a unique Icon/Model be a recomended feature of the spell being entered?

Why? Because icon and models have nothing to do with spellmaking. This is neither an icon or a modelling contest. You can add, but I won't give you extra points for them (it would be unfair for other spellmakers who can't make models). The only exception is the last section which will obviously require new models. You can add other person's model there but don't forget to credit him/her for the model. That is kinda all!

I tried to advise you the Resource category, but you were faster. I'll have the one spell ready, but the spell MUST be triggered? I have nice non-triggered spell, and want to use it in contest.

Well, it depends on how you made it. If it just has models and icon changed then nope, it is not good enough. It must have more than look changed. If not, I will just rate you for eye-candy and nothing else.

DaelinWhy? Because...

They look cool

I have a nice Summon/Group spell, would you take a look and tell me which catagory to enter it in (like which one would get it a better score or w/e)?

Damn, these new sections force me to make some spells, and not the half assed type that most of my other ones were. Hmm, Daelin for the resource one we can use anything right? Like say corpses, trees, stuff like that? And what about water, like if the spell is cast in water it either will only work that way or will become inhanced, is that okay?

I have some questions for you.

1. Are you consider spell's balanceness? Such as how long the effects should take, compare with its mana costs (is it too long or too short), how long the cooldown and how much damage that it caused, compare with its mana cost and spell type (e.g. passive, normal, or ultimate). Are you? I suggests you to consider that, so there won't be a super-duper spell.

2. I have already make some spells, on which category i should classified my spell? I mean classification on spell resource section not on your contest.

3. May I submit more than one spell on one section, although i just have chance to win one grade on one section.

4. Can I submit a spell that i already have and never been published, but that spell was on my map that had been published?

5. May I submit the spell that the ideas comes from another game, such as from final fantasy or another RPG game, and i name it like it was?

Thanks for your answers Daelin.

Let's start with Leopard.
1. It depends. I suggest you make the spell balanced but if it not balanced because of causes like mana cost, cooldown, duration and tralala, it doesn't matter. But if it is unbalanced because it simply kills everything... Try to make it balanced bcause it is something relative.

2. It depends again. I don't really understand what you mean but you should assure that it has something to do with the cattegory.

3. Read the rules. No!

4. Umm... No! It's still considered making the spell before the contest begins. But if I don't catch you... You are welcomed to try! But if I catch you, I disqualify your spell. Hehe!

5. Of course! If the idea is nice... But take in consideration difficulty of the spell as well. You can name it however you want. Names don't count...

Paper-Reaper... I don't score the spell for fitting better into a cattegory or another. It must fit into the cattegory by following the requirements mentioned into my first post. So you choose it.

Xipe_Topec... Water? Hmm... very interesting. If you can think you can make the water disappear, evaporate or something... Why not?

~Daelin

If I would like to run with new own contest will I be screwed in this?

Go ahead but keep in mind that you have to post your spells up to 1 June.
