Elementality – Fundamentals to Involve Chain/Sequential Elemental Casting; Complexity

[Shurrikhan]

I put this all into google translate to change it to English, but it didn't work. I can't tell if the system is too complex or if there are just too many new terms floating around.

I'm all for an overhaul of magic though. This thunder thunder thunder stuff has to go.

Just skip the small details, focus on what it mentions of gameplay. Though those are the factors necessary to actually make this work, all that's really needed to see what I'm getting at are the pieces of gameplay themselves.

Long story short this is a way of using relatively few spells to accomplish many, many different things, without each individual spell being in any way OP or serving every function.

However, all can be used for any "fight" so to speak, because the fights will be far more complicated than simply "weak to fire - so use fire". There will always be at least one strategy, due to smaller factors (those technical details) that makes an element ideal for a certain part of a certain strategy (among a total possible number of strategies far more than any MMO raider would be used to).
