Greetings all.

Just thought I would share some interaction examples that I have finished testing out. This example is for introducing magic to a world in the form of a Secret. There are several sample 'spells' that are a part of this sample package. If this file were introduced as-is, a single Secret of this type would be created in a world.

Fireball: A copy of the one from the Fire Imp example
Waterball: Like above, but fires a liquid glob of water
Iceball: Solid glob of water (Ice).
Blind Enemy: Causes a syndrome that impairs the target's eyes temporarily.
Spray Web: Shoots out webs in a fashion similar to a giant cave spider.
Magic Breath: Temporarily grants the NOBREATHE tag, useful for getting across rivers.

This is not the only way to handle magic via a secret. Instead of putting it all in a single secret, you could create a number of different secrets; one for each 'spell'.

The third method that comes to mind, instead of using secrets, is to utilize adventure-mode reactions to simulate learning the different spells. Via this method you could spread out the research and make it more difficult to learn magic as well by having a chance of failure associated with creating some object. This could be done in two ways: Either creating/using books (I have not tested this yet) or creating some ingestible object that grants the power.
