Spell Slots

Warrant:
Wynncraft's spell casting system is the crux of combat, providing buffs, abilities, crowd control, and high damage; however, is extremely limited because of how they're cast. The current spell system allows for only 4 permutations for casting spells, so there are only 4 spells per class. With that being said, it becomes incredibly boring using the same spells over and over again. It would be nice to see the same class with different spells as you progress.

Suggestion:
As the title of the name suggests, there should be spell slots. A way to work around the 4 spell limit. Spell slots would be a means of obtaining spells throughout your adventures, and being able to swap out spells for different scenarios, builds, or simple preferences.

Implementation:
So there's many ways of implementing such a system, perhaps in the character compass there's a menu where you can swap out spells for soul points, making soul points more valuable. In each slot could be some kind of symbol that shows a quick description of the spell and its values. Spells, in the form of tomes, can be gathered as dungeon rewards or quest rewards, or even level rewards.

Issues:
So, let's go over some solvable issues with this idea.
1) What about spell level?
How about a spell leveling system? The more frequently you use a spell, the more xp you gain out of it. Buff spells you would get more xp from simply using it, movement spells from distance covered, and damage spells for doing damage. Or perhaps you can get spell levels from dungeons. Get the spell tome, and dungeon reward item, to trade it in for a leveled version of the spell. And it can be leveled again in the corrupted version of that dungeon. Or if you get the spell tome from a quest, you can do a quest related to the one that gave you the tome, and that will give you a leveled version of that spell. For example, say Wynnexcavation site A gave you a spell for your respective class, well in quest for sites B, C, and D you get upgraded versions of that spell.

2) What about the original spells?
Just leave them as they are.

3) Wouldn't they be a burden to carry around? Or what if I lose my spell tome?
If a spell has been obtained, then /fixquests or perhaps some other command will give you back the tome that you somehow lost. Or make them undroppable and vaultable.

If there are more questions that need answering, then ask them in the comments below, and I'll come up with solutions.

Pros:
-More diversity in gameplay, it's not the same spells over and over again.
-Players can use spells that accommodate their builds.
-Makes soul points more valuable.
-Might be able to see enemies using similar spells, which adds to their diversity.
-Gives players more stuff to do.
-Allows for more customization of builds.

Cons:
-Devs (or community) gotta come up with new spells lul

I'd love to read feedback/questions on this thread, so if you have any I can either update my post or reply in the thread.

 

The whole getting from a quest is cool.... till people have already done the quests... then how do they get the scroll?

Add poll

 

So like pokemon moves?

 

/fixquest or that command mentioned earlier would automatically give the spell tomes back if not found in player inventory. Also why add a poll?

 

So people can vote on whether they like the suggestion easily and you have a nice way to see public opinion on the suggestion.

 

I mean, the suggestion is fine, even though something close to it has been suggested a lot...
But why the 4th poll option?

 

For me :)
