To make my point, I'm just going to show how this works with the Mage/Dark Wizard class. If requested, I'll do more, or even all of the classes. Ok, so let's get to it.

You probably already understand what this is going to be, but I'll give a quick explanation anyway. Okay: So, when you level up to the right level, you get to choose one of three (or any number really) of spells. The upgrades are still preset, however, so keep that in mind.

Tier One Spells
Healing

-Hunger: 8
-Heal: 40% (self & nearby)

Arcane Sacrifice

-Hunger: 2
-Damage: 20% (self)
-Mana: Completely replenish

Ward

-Hunger: 6
-Damage Resistance: 30% (self & nearby)
-Duration: 15s

Tier Two Spells

Teleport

-Hunger: 3
-Teleports player in given direction

Recall

-Hunger: 3
-Teleports player to where they were 16s ago,
their health will be restored to how it was 16s
ago.

Wind Blast

-Hunger: 5
-Launches the player forward on a gust of wind,
dealing 40% damage to players the user passes
through.
-Travels maximum of 8 meters

Tier Three Spells

Meteor

-Hunger: 6
-Damage: 400%
-Summons a Meteor over target location

Magic Shroud

-Hunger: 10
-Summons a large cloud, surrounding the player.
-While inside the cloud, the user gains speed I, and enemies are inflicted with slowness I. -Damage dealt to enemies is also increased while in this cloud.
-Vision is also limited to everyone but the user.

Ghost Aura

-Hunger: 10
-Gives all players within 30 blocks a white outline (glowing effect, 1.9 only) for 30s
-Speed II for 5s
-Resistance 60% for 5s
-Damage -80% for 7s
-Partial Invisibility for 10s

Tier Four Spells

Ice Snake

-Hunger: 6
-Summons a snake of ice
-Deals damage on impact
-Slows enemies for 5s

Fire Cobra

-Hunger: 6
-Summons a cobra of ice
-Deals damage on impact
-Lights enemies on fire for 10s

Earth Serpent

-Hunger: 6
-Summons a serpent of earth
-Deals damage on impact
-On impact launches enemies into air

Also, if you would prefer to have less of a trade-off with the spells, then I have yet another concept for you: the "Bank" mechanic. In this, you have a bank of spells that you unlock as you level up. You can choose which ones you actively have in your four main spell slots, and which combination of clicks you need to activate whichever spell you choose to put in each slot. This allows you to choose which spells you like, further customizing your character.

So that's it for my ideas! If you enjoyed or thought these were good, please leave a comment. If you thought these were unbalanced, a bad idea, or simply formated in a way you dislike, please leave a comment as well, explaining! ~Silver

Note: I already mentioned this, but if I get enough requests, I'd be willing to make more Spell Trees.
Note V2: I spent a considerable amount of time designing it just right, so that it was not unbalanced. If you think it is unbalanced, leave a comment or I will completely disregard your vote. If I can't change what I did wrong, I won't bother troubleshooting to please you guys.

okay the idea is nice, but the spells are shit, Recall? go fight at a party, die, and go back... tier 4 spells ARE ALL SERPENT SPELLS i want a different kind of spell not the same shitty one.

SkySez,

I made all of the tier 4 spells serpent spells on purpose to match the theme, continue with the 'classic' feel that everyone is apparently searching for, and help scaffold the elemental damage system.
Also, them being 'shitty' is your opinion, and I'd rather not go into semantics. And, yes, Recall is slightly over powered, and there have already been several discussions in this thread about that. In the end, it's the Devs choice, and I can't control what they do. This is just an idea.

I like the idea, but the bank one sounds better. Really both ideas are awesome

Spell-Tree Building: Should it be a new feature?

Yes

Yes, but not like this (if so, please explain)

No (if so, please explain)

These are good but unbalanced

I'd prefer the Bank mechanic, but good idea
