I do wonder if Vetex will allow us to mutate the old 7 into other 13 base magics. Would be fun going:
Light → Crystal → Shatter
Idk I think it would maybe be possible to make mutations for every magic, the dev team made 3 dev magics in a matter of hours, the only hard part is all the ideas, like tf would things like acid or sand mutate into
Notice however that not even one of those magics they made have an original mechanic.
Scripting functionality takez time.
Most of the lost magics are basicish
Like frostmetal is litterly metal but applies freezing
Phoenix and sun are fire but better
Poison, Aether, and Ancient lightnings probably just have different effects and general stats
Only a few seem harder like probably growth, slash, or sound
Yeah, a lot of them will be easy, but at least a few of them won’t be.
I dunno sure vertex has some ideas for fresher magics but if 3 normal ish magics can get pumped out in a matter of hours even if a couple take a while for unique I assume all of them wont take more than like a week at max
Bleed, the one status effect used for 4 magics, a fighting style and most of weapons:
Would be kinda lame if it was just bleed
I was thinking it could be sorta limbloss related or somethin
I think vetex has said that most of the non-base magics would have a gimmick to 'em (Gravity’s reverse knockback comes to mind) so you might be onto something
Lost and Ancient magics are mostly just fusions of magics (Poison Lightning, Equinox), a lot of stats (Aether[prob size light], Diamond [Shatter for poor]), or smth finally unique like Oil or Gravity.
They are unique visualy, but if you think about it, only few are something unique.
Slash, Phoenix is first that comes to my mind when i think of unique lost magic.
Apocalypse Bringer, as cool as it is, is probably just stat magic, while Pressure is better Gravity
Vetex making 77 new magics by mixing fire with every base magic and lightning with every base magic:
“Time to add a new lost magic!”
Insert most other magics starving in the corner
“Oh! I know! I’ll make a new fire lost magic. Let’s make acidic fire this time.”
That’d be a good thing, we’ve been needing an acid-centric mutation.
Corrosive gas mutation of poison and acid? Low base damage high cloud damage
