So yeah I’m bored so I decided to think of an idea that could make AO cooler. This is NOT a suggestion as I am not telling or asking vetex to add them, I am merely following the guidelines for this and giving a concept of what I could look like if it was implemented, however (if) suggestions open, I will repost this there (with the stolen ideas ). This is still NOT a suggestion and I will find you IRL and send a suggestion to your parents to put you up for adoption if you report it as one.
Concept (Not a suggestion) Magic Shape Customization
So basically I was bored and tried thinking of a suggestion that could make AO more customization-based, making it more immersive.
Magic shapes would allow you to change the shape of the attack of a certain spell, it’s somewhat like changing the shape of explosions (I.e shockwave, pillar, etc.) but this does not change the hitbox, damage, or anything about the magic
These magic shapes would be obtained by various means, Defeating a certain boss could unlock a new shape, getting a certain achievement could unlock a new shape, Exploring can unlock a new shape, There can be some easter eggs that unlock magic shapes, Even some sealed chests/ normal chests can give scrolls that unlock Rare magic shapes
So now that I have explained the concept, here is what the shapes would be
Blasts
These are the shapes for the blasts and how they are obtained/ what they would look like
Fireball:
Closely looks like a generic fireball seen across most fireball magic in every single game with magic, Looks somewhat like a circle but has a curved end with many spikes
Obtainment Method: Naturally obtained at level 5
Star:
Star shape looks like… a star, a generic pentagram star that has a slight glow to it
Obtainment method: Obtained by having your camera angled at the night sky for at least 5 nights total
Snake:
A shape that looks somewhat like a coiled-up snake
Obtainment method: Obtained in chests
Shark:
A ball that has a fin on the top of it, and also has eyes and the mouth of a shark
Obtainment method: Be killed by any sea creature
Plus:

Moon:

Obtainment method: Found in chests, only at level 90+
Dragon:
Shoot out a beam that seemingly has scales and the head of a snake at the end
Obtainment method: Reach the level cap (For example let’s say the level cap was set to 200, you would have to hit level 200)

Only applicable for multi-beams, shoot out a shape that looks like a squid tentacle
Obtainment method: Be killed by any sea monster in the Dark sea at level 90+
Hand:
Shoot a beam that has a hand, similarly to the blast version, at the end
Obtainment method: Reach Maximum insanity
So yeah that is what I have so far, my biggest issue is that I can’t think of any for Beams and I don’t really have any for other magic types, so I want you to reply to this post with any ideas you might have so I can eventually add them (when suggestions in open) *[ I will credit you if you want when suggestions release]
Oh yeah btw any feedback is appreciated
TLDR; funny magic shapes because cool customization (also not a suggestion)
