Ps it should be spell tome

 

very nice concept... Though the name should be changed, the concept itself is good! I support

 

Good idea but it seems a bit too good..

 

Changed name to Tomes!

 

A very interesting idea! Maybe tomes can be wielded off hand once we update to 1.9
I have some suggestions though:
Rename 'tome' to 'grimoire'
Instead of city specifics, restrict grimoire spawning in loot chests to level specific; let their level minimums coincide

Grimoire rarity should be way way less rare; if they're single use, they need to be more accessible

I suggest
Tier 1: 5% chance of spawning in chests, multiplied by 0.5 per loot chest tier. Chance halved if items (weapons and armour) are already in loot chests
Tier 2: halved chance
Tier 3: 1% chance
Tier 4: 0.25% chance
Tier 5: 0.0025% chance

Furthermore, grimoires should be able to be used more than once, to increase usability and save inventory space. This would also increase player acceptance of use.

Tier 1: 3 uses
Tier 2: 5 uses
Tier 3: 15uses
Tier 4: 25 uses
Tier 5: 35 uses

Grimoires will also have a time between uses before they can be used again. This amount of time is 15 seconds x 0.8 per tier

The amount of uses left is visually shown by the number of books (grimoires will be books, custom skins can be made with other stackable items)

Grinoire merchants will be located in only a few cities:
Ahmsord
Leaf village
Rodoroc
Troms
Iboju village

And scattered around the map

Grimoires can also be 'replenished'
Every time they are replenished, they gain 1/3 of their uses back

There will be replenishment merchants near powder merchants in every major city

To replenish a grimoire:
All grimoire tiers: (tier x 10EB) + 10EB = total cost
Tier 5 grimoires also require any tier 5 powder to be replenished

Here are some grimoire ideas:

Tier 1:
Chill
Slows enemies (slow 3) for 5 seconds

Tier 2: Freeze
Stops enemies in their tracks for 3 seconds
Deals 400 water damage, increased with int skill (all elemental grimoire damage is affected by skills)

Tier 3:
Frostbite
Stops enemies in their tracks for 5 seconds
Deals 750 water damage over 3 seconds

Tier 4:
Frostfang
Shards of ice root enemies on the spot for 6 seconds
Deals 1500 water damage

Tier 5:
Torrential Blizzard
A powerful wind freezes your enemies to their cores.
Blinds enemies for 3 seconds, roots enemies for 7 seconds
Deals 3000water damage

Every tier 5 grimoire will have lore
A deceptively simple looking book, it was once owned by the legendary ice wizard Theorick Twain

Tier 1:
Pierce
1 piercing arrow shoots out in a straight line in front of the player for 20 blocks
Deals 100 damage to mobs (passes through them)
All pierce damage is neutral

Tier 2:
Destroy
3 piercing arrows shoot out at a tier 3 arrow storm angle from the player for 15 blocks
Upon hitting a mob, explodes for 300 damage

Tier 3:
Obliterate
10 arrows shoot out from the player in a ring, dealing 600 AoE damage each

Tier 4:
Terror
10 arrows shoot out from the player, travelling for 15 blocks.Upon hitting a mob, they are blinded for 5 seconds and take 1000 damage

Tier 5:
Cataclysmic Catalyst
5 piercing homing arrows shoot out from the player, and will keep homing around within a 5 block radius until 15 mobs are hit.(per arrow) If a mob is hit, it and all surrounding mobs take 1500 AoE damage and are slowed (slowness 2) for 3 seconds.

Recharge time for this grimoire only starts when the effect ends

The worn and faded grimoire bears this inscription: "And so the sky fell"

Just some ideas :)

 

Nice idea however I feel like it would ruin normals spells.
Maybe apply them but debuff them so you normal spells are stronger.

 

Divine Blessing seems way too overpowered, basically reviving all players around you is OP in itself. Possibly remove the max health bonus or tone it down a little.

 

Yeah, it does seem that way. That's why I added the Incantations. It wouldn't be an instant effect, but the idea is that the stronger a tome is, the longer you have to wait before it activates. For very strong tomes, such as Divine Blessing, the user HAS to be protected during the Incantation, or it won't be able to activate.
That aside, I probably will remove the health bonus or tone it down to 75%.

 

Yeah, it's not like it's one of the most biggest and richest cities in the province of Wynn.

 

While this is a fun idea, it would ruin the idea of having unique spells for each class.

It would also widen the gap between the poor and the rich, because the rich would be able to constantly afford them while poor people can rately afford to buy one.

 

I 100% agree with this

 

I really like the idea but one question. For the spells that deal damage in percentages, what item is the percentage taken from?

 

Is not fair level 100 cant use this scroll! Instead of add a range (like 1-20 , 21-40,) do a level requirement like
Level Min. 20
Level Min. 26
Unique level for each tomes like we do in weapons. Of course some can be the same level require but put a range isn't in the wynncraft style, put a level min. is in that style.

 

The range that I have is not the level range your player must be in, but the range of level requirements for that tier of tomes. A Lv. 100 can use all five tiers. The last tome level range is 95 because I thought it wouldn't be useful to have a tome that you can only use at 100+.

It would be the first weapon in your hotbar, starting from the left.

 

Alright, I expected that, I just wanted to clarify ;)

 

I'd love these!
Maybe as long as there was an easter egg tome called "The Deadly Halos" and when used it says "The movie didnt compare"

 

I never considered that. I'll try to remove tomes that are too similar to class spells. However, this could also call for a small update to class spells to make them more unique.
As for the rich/poor thing, you're right. Should I make them only obtainable through loot chests?

 

On Wynns side or your suggestion's side? If wynn's, rip jumla. If yours, sure.

Yes please.

 

I was thinking Wynn's, but I might rework mine instead. I'll work on it.
