I put these in Scrollcord, so i figured I might as well put them here too
Lost Spell Idea- Bind
Creates a magic circle on a surface. A few seconds after the circle is created, it unleashes 4 chains from the ground that all focus on the nearest player. Each chain that grabs the player slows them down by 12.5% and pulls them in. If all 4 grab the player is becomes near impossible to escape. Once the player is pulled into the center of the magic circle, it causes a pillar shaped explosion.
Unless the spell grabs a player, it will despawn after 8 seconds of being cast
The chains would also have health, making them destroyable if you can cast an attack before it grabs you,
Chain Shape-
Purely cosmetic, changes how the chain looks, options I have thought of so far are chain, rope, tentacle, and arm.
Speed-
How quickly the chains move, default is 100% and can increase up to 200%
The bigger the number the less damage it does. (50% less damage at 200% speed)
Range-
How far the chains can reach, can increased to 200%, default is 100%
The higher this is, the less the spell lasts before despawning or grabbing a player. (despawns in 4 seconds at 200%)
Rare Technique Idea- Cascade
A strength technique where you slam down to the ground, causing a cascade of rock pillars to burst out of the ground infront of you in a cone like shape.
Style-
Purely cosmetic, how you perform the attack, probably could share the same animations as smash since they are kind of similar.
Height-
How high the pillars reach, default is 100% and can go down to 20% or up to 200%.
The higher it is, the less damage
Spread-
How wide the row of pillars is, maximum is 100% and minimum is 20%, lowers how far the pillars go the more spread there is, basically like surge spread.
Bonus stuff to add to it ig:
Make what the pillars are made of depend on the ground you slam on, so dirt, rock, sand, ect ect
I am not really sure how to make it easier to tell what type of fighting style was used, but maybe have like the fighting styles effect where the pillars come out of the ground?
Maybe have the technique work on the surface of water and apply soaked if it hits someone? idk
Rare Spell Idea- Blade
User creates a blade around their arm using magic, slashing infront of them.
Think of it like flash strike, but without movement and the slash extends further out like a projectile. The slash and the projectile act like two different attacks, so it does more damage if the target is pointblank
It charges extremely quickly, and always causes bleed no matter the magic.
Shape
Purely cosmetic shapes, sword, arm blade, claws, axe, greataxe, dagger, great sword, katana, rapier, arm energy.
Slash Angle-
Change the angle of the slash, either left, right, middle, or up.
