Rustbound Magic

Roadmap info in half-baked ideas and some sentence fragments!

The focus of the next update:
Look at my Discord!

- Mini bosses! Summonable elemental bosses that are challenging and give awesome loot!

- Elemental wyverns! Yes to taming them and flying on the back of one. Maybe also a boss?

- New spells that explore the new channeling based spellcasting, like drain life, poison dots, etc.

- An expansion to the essence attunement system. Having it effect more stats of a spell.

- New enchanted equipment like the test bracelets in creative. These will be craftable by tier 3 mages and will be REALLY good. Will come in numerous forms like necklaces, bracelets, etc.

- More transmog staffs and armor. Totally making necromancer armor next! <3

- More pets for the pets system and other ways of acquiring them.

- Overhaul the spell particle effect system to make post magic feel magical.

- More magical-themed decoration blocks for those savy wizards out there!

- Possibly looking into a minion system, like a summon skeleton or summon elemental. Still need to really work this out.

 

How to get started:

When flowers are within range of a rift, they will transform temporarily into "unstable riftblooms". When harvested with a knife, they will have a chance to drop a riftbloom seed. If the rift disappears, unstable riftbloom will slowly convert back into their original flower. Use this seed and a few other items to create the "Manual of Magical Arts" guidebook!

Follow the achievement system in the guidebook to walk the path of the mage!

How to use:

To use this system, you will have to patch in the "EntityBehaviorElementalDamageModifiersRM" behavior on the client side (required for displaying all attributes) along with your pick of one or mix and match the 3 attributes below. An example would be "weaknessElement1RM" AND "weaknessAmount1RM".  The "Elements" to choose from are: fire, water, wind, earth, lightning, frost, nature, or arcane. The "Amount" is the damage modifier. You must have both an "Element" and "Amount" for what you want to apply. 

What each option does:
- Weakness would be an element that does bonus damage.
- Resistance would be an element that does less damage.
- Strength would convert damage from the element type into a heal.

What each "Amount" does:
- Amount of 1.0 is no effect
- Amount of 1.5 would do 1.5 times damage
- Amount of 0.5 does half damage

The passive skill "Clarvoiance" allows you to see elemental damage modifiers on entites that have them along with current and max health.

How to use:

To use these stats, you will have to patch in the "CollectibleBehaviorMagicEquipStatsDisplayRM" behavior (required for displaying all attributes) along with "magicStatModifiers" in the attributes section. You can look at my vanilla armor patches or any piece of equipment in the mod to see how to use the stats.

There are 3 kinds of attributes in this system, direct magical stats, magic protection stats, and passive skill stats. Note that you can apply positive or negative effects as well. Look at my attunement cores for example. You gain a lot of magical stats, but lose -50 max mana.

List of direct magical stats:

• manaregen = meditation mana regen.
• maxmana = max mana through armor.
• genericmodifiermanacost = manacost of all spells.
• genericmodifiercasttime = casttime of all spells.
• genericmodifierduration = buff duration time of all spells.

List of magic protection stats:
Note you must have all the attributes below for this system to work. Failure to do so will result in a null crash.
