Wizards have an awesome advantage of being able to create their own spellbooks in Wyrdafel. You can craft your very own spells with their own unique descriptions. However, with that comes some level of responsibility to make sure you're being fair. Follow this guide to help you craft your spells!

What spell schools does your character belong to? 

This is entirely up to how you designed your character. Perhaps you're from a frigid place where ice magic is frequently used. Alternatively, fire would work very well for a cold environment. You can make spells for offense and defense from all schools! So don't feel limited. In this roleplay, you are allowed to start off with two schools if it makes sense to your character.

​

Offensive or Defensive? Or maybe a mix of both? 

It's important to reflect on your character and figure out why they want to cast magic. Is it to heal people? Is it to fight your enemies head on? Maybe you've allowed yourself to learn a mix of both. 

​

Offensive: As an offensive mage, you mainly deal in putting out as much damage as possible. Because of this, your damaging spells can hit as hard as 1d10+Intellect. (See dice rules for more information on this).

Defensive: as a defensive mage, you want to heal your allies. Because of this, your healing spells can heal as much as 1d10+Intellect. 

​

If you mix offensive and defensive then you must choose which one you are more proficient in. So, if you are more defensive your healing spells can be as high as 1d10+intellect but your damaging spells can only get as strong as 1d5+intellect. 

Alternatively, if you are more offensive then your damaging spells can be as high as 1d10+intellect but your healing spells can only get as strong as 1d5+intellect.

What now? How do I make a spell? 

This is the fun part. Our spells are set up in the following way: 

​

Spell Name: Think of something catchy which describes your spell well.

Description: Describe what your spell does. Include how much damage or healing they do. If you wanna get really technical, include variables such as 'requires water nearby' or, 'can only be done if the wizard is at half health' and so on. Check out or spellbook thread in the discord for inspiration!

Self Con: If your spell fails, what is the drawback to your character? Will they take damage? Will their hand get stuck in a fist? This can either be flavourful, or it can be technical.
