Magiclysm: A Total Fantasy Overhaul

Did magic missile get nerfed? On my version it’s my favorite single target spell (it’s also my only single target spell :thinking:) and is usually what I default to when I don’t want to waste mana on AoE.

no. i don’t know what’s going on with his magic missile. it’s force damage, so should actually pierce all armor anyway. the only “failure” i expect is at level 0 or 1 when your damage is low enough that 10% variance from magic damage brings it below 1 to 0.9 which is truncated to 0

Makes sense.

@MutaMan

It’s worth leveling up to max, you’ll get reliable 18 - 21 damage at level 15.

Edit: been leveling other spells and got mixed up

Pull Requests require coding right? never been able to wrap my head around it, and the major thing I’d want would probably be really complicated to implement anyway

JSON isn’t code. so no, pull requests do not require coding, if all you are doing is JSON content.

quick question, is there going to be XL variants of the armors so Huge Mutants will be able to wear dragonscale armor and such? Related to seeing a particular pull request that I must say has me very excited.

hah, almost forgot about that. sure, i can weasel that in too.

I have now implemented adding sound effects to spells. See this example

now it comes the bard class with its choirs

Problem solved! I updated the save file from experimental version 9496 to 9745, and Magic Missile now damages creatures. (I even maximised it, so now my wizard is (almost) unstoppable!)

How common do you guys find magic shops? I’ve explored a few cities but only found two. I’m a biomancer but haven’t found the biomancer tome for the big boy spells. Also kind of worried that the shops arent spawning anymore in my world.

i havent found one since the added them, but at least sometimes i find cabins.

Someone mentioned earlier that Magic Missile doesn’t seem to be doing any damage. Ice Spike from “Treatise on the Elements” seems to be the same way. I used it on a Giant Wasp, then on a Kreck, then a Giant Web Spider, and all uses reflected off the monsters’ thick hides. Ice Spike has 41 damage at its current level; Point Flare has half of that and three-shots those same monsters.

I’m on Build 9764, Windows 10 64-Bit, if that matters.

is this the same bug? this is concerning that this popped up seemingly randomly.

this kind of bugs come froma way back no?, there was the necrotic gaze too not doing any damage, and ice spike in its moment didnt affect all kind of mobs

I still find used book stores with the associated creepy things, what cabins are you talking about? Are they added in or base game cabins?

the layout is the same as some single cabins or rural houses, but there has magical items in there, like a book/scroll of a spell, sometimes mana crystals or wands. potions too and/or the book of recipes too

Thank you, I’ll look into that

Magic shops are your best bet for magic books & don’t be discouraged they are very rare, even very large cities often do not have them and based on my experience I would say about 1 out of every 4 or 5 cities of moderate size has one. Anyways they are rare but you always find about 2-4 books there as well as wands and other stuff.

I did a lab challenge start once, it had a library in it that had spell books in it too. You got to do some dungeon delving, but that seems like a decent source as well. Just takes some work
