Magic and other Oddities

[h8pvmnt 27]

I have a suggestion for the magic system that will hopefully be implemented into the new map for the release of the full version of Minecraft. Suggestion 1 is have there be just a general field of magic every race can use and there would be like 7 spells and you can take 2-3 of those spells and add them to your "Inventory" of spells. Next there would be spells for races and sub-races so you could get 1 spell for race out of 3 spells and 1 out of your sub-race out of 3 again. Now most people would need to stop getting more spells by here and so to get more spells there could be like University's where you could "Major" in a certain type of magic. Now if you keep working with your magic you obtained at the Magic University then you could level up your certain spells, such as now you have Lightning level III. Now the last way to get spells would be finding old books in secret places and at the end of the book there would be a code like 3o4h151phg4 and you would have to do /spell 3o4h151phg4 and then you would get this new spell after reading this book.

Now there should be a somewhat penalty for going to a University to learn magic such as you have to pay Minas to take classes to learn the spells and the class's could take almost a day in MC. Another somewhat penalty should be you have to use materials in-game to use certain spells, like Iceball would require a snowball. Now there could be a few problems with this magic system like people using spells and diamond swords and/or armor at the same time, So if you chose to become a Wizard or mage character then you could only use up to a iron sword and chain mail armor (just to make it fair).

This is where my 2nd suggestion comes in, what about a type of class system so that only certain people can have certain things and this should be chosen by the FM who reads the application and he would judge what class that character should be in.

This is all open to any suggestions whether it be classes spells or anything else.

My Ideas.

Spells:Heal, Lightning, Iceball, Fireball, Blink, Underwater Breathing (not unlimited), Force Push, and Blaze (light a fire in an area). Edit: Extra ore, better repair (repair double the amount with just one ore.)

Classes:Hunter, Shopkeeper, Mage, Warrior, Farmer, and Alchemist.

Now this is an Idea me and a friend had and we believe that every city should have streets and house numbers so that there could actually be a postal service. We would love to start one up its just that its so hard to really send it to people when you don't know where they live. That Idea is just for the new map no reason to make streets now.

Another idea is what if there was a tailor shop, Basically you would go to there shop tell them what you want pay them a small fee then they would create the skin private message it to the person on the forums, then collect the money in game. Now would anyone actually do this in-game.

Edit:Just saw the new skill system stuff and thought what if each class had a special add to one of the skills like a free 10 points to farming if your a farmer but isn't part of the 275 level cap.

I'm in support of this, hopefully it's not too complex to be added. Possibly both this magic system and a school system can be added in correlation:

Also there could be some spells for enchantments for architects and smiths

We are certainly looking into many of these options, however you must understand the amount of work and development it takes to implement just one single spell. And we are still limited with what minecraft can do. But some good suggestions there.

Sorry never programmed in my life so I have no idea how hard it is to do that kind of stuff but I still think that the staff of this server can do that.

Like your ideas. One suggestion- Add Blacksmithing spells for Dwarves.

Like one can be to gain more ingots from a single ore and to make crafted and repaired tools/armor to be more durable and work better.
