Hello, and welcome to Raa's Magical Spell Cooking Show!
With your host Raa!
And Introducing His Sidekick: Miss Cheery!
Raa: Hello! And welcome to my cooking show. Today we will be talking about basic spell crafting.
MC: But Raa, I don't know what basic spell crafting.
R: Well what a coincidence! Would you like me to tell you?
MC: *nods*
R: Very well then, basic spell crafting is very simple. It follows a certain set of rules. The more useful, sometimes powerful. a spell is, the more magic it costs. For example let's say lighting a small fire in your fingers barely makes you sweat while making an inferno takes some effort. Usually this is because each spell has different areas of effect due to varying strengths.
MC: I see!
R: Now, I like to classify spells in three basic types. Offense, Defense and Utility. Offense spells hurt, Defense spells protect and Utility spells have a certain function to them. It's common for a spell to be 2 out of the three types and this makes it easier for me to rip off, I mean, copy, I mean, be inspired by other spells. Take for instance Water Magic. Foundation Elemental manipulation, no matter how good you are at manipulating it, is only Basic Offense and Defense with some levels of Utility. Basic elements like water, wind, fire and earth are easy to be countered like say...my Shift Magic or something that dodges things easily.
MC:But Raa, what if something is all three?
R: Well then Cheery, utility spells that do healing and stuff like that unique. They're impossible for me to copy due to the nature of my magic.
I'm very bored.
