MAGIC!!
« on: April 22, 2010, 09:34:40 am »

Imagine if toady brought magic into dwarf fortress, im not just talking mages with fire balls i mean sacrificing 10 peasants to reincarnate your most powerful champion, or alchemy or spells so powerful miss use could cause an entire fort to be destroyed, or a system which you could create spells.

i mean this is me just fantasizing, but i think if implicated properly it could add another layer to the game.

The search function is your friend.
Search the suggestions forum and you will find that there have been a lot of ideas in threads concerning magic. Something like that will be implemented some day with the magic arc, but it won't be very soon.

I believe it's on long-term to-do list...but will definitely be one of the last features added since there's so much other features that needs to be done before that. With DF's ASCII grid-based system magic will be somewhat difficult to implement too...
Anyway magic is a good thing to have in any fantasy world, including DF:)

I think Magic is for after a 1.0 release, and that is still very, very far off.
