Will The Magic System Have Procedurally Generated Spells?
« on: July 01, 2019, 08:32:50 pm »
Will the exact things that spells do be procedurally generated? Like it isn't set in stone if there is a fireball spell or some ice blast spell, spells and spell effects are all procedurally generated, is this the case?

Yup, that's pretty much exactly the plan AFAIK. Not much more to say for the moment, seeing as there's still a bit more for Toady and Zach to do before work on such things can start.

It's actually pretty terrifying to think about having all of your fat melt off into grease because you started sweating too much.

This video suggests that yes, magic will be procedurally generated.

There's been microvariations on how necromancers make zombies since the start. You can't expect Toady to not take it further alongside everything else.

It's a buyers market. The author writes what sells, catering to the lowly demands of uneducated masses. In this case, apparently, charioteers.

Can we get migrant sponge cooks, a squid for bookkeeper, a starfish peasants, squirrel mechanics, vermin invaders, and cook roast crab meats?

What are these microvariations?
