Trying to make a mystical wood that allows the wielder to shoot flames, can't work.

Syndromes don't work like that. For a contact syndrome to work, the material should be liquid and it should stick to a skin. It's easier to make boiling stuff which is inhaled or food which is injested.

Basically you cannot make a syndrome to be transferred via touch of a solid object. Which is a shame, I must say.

[Igfig]

What you could do, though, is create a reaction that takes a piece of the wood (as a preserved reagent) and produces a liquid glob of magical goop that grants you the interaction for a few ticks and then evaporates.

[GuardianTempest]

Can you post an example? I couldn't get mine right.

[Roses]

Using an interaction is it possible to create an item? I know it can't be done directly, but is it possible to say, transform your self into something that looses an arm, then resurrect the arm, then change it into a creature that dies immediately and has an item corpse?

Yes I know this is way more complicated than it needs to be since you can just make a reaction to make the item directly, but this way you could set what the quality of the item is.

[Putnam]

Yes, it is. I did a proof of concept a little while ago. Basically, make a liquid spatter material emission and make the material have a fixed temp lower than its melting and boiliing points. You can then use that material as a reagent in a reaction if you pick it up. Make sure the ITEM for the reagent is NONE:NONE, though.

[Roses]

But if I recall correctly your's was only valid in adventure mode, no?

Second questions: Is there a linear growth between start and peak for syndromes? And after the peak does it remain at that level until the end, or does it decrease again?

1. Yes, unfortunately.

2. I'm not even sure what peak means

Start to peak is linear and peak to end is level.

[Roses]

Thanks!

One more question. Is there a way to distinguish between using an interaction on a friendly target versus an enemy?

For instance if I have a slow spell I only want it to be cast on enemies and if I have a haste spell I only want it caste on allies.

[Putnam]

For enemies, there's the ATTACK USAGE_HINT. For friends... yeah, hoops as fuck.

[Roses]

Fiddlesticks. That kind of screws up my whole magic system. I guess buffs will have to be self only for now.

[Putnam]

The only reasons I didn't explain were because 1. I was on a phone at the time and 2. narhiril knows it better.

[Roses]

I know I can make it only target friendlies through classes, but that will only work in specific cases and I would have to use a different interaction for each race that I want to use the spell.

[Roses]

I suppose I could make it target friendlies by bouncing the reaction off of enemies.

Dwarf 1 has the spell give haste
Dwarf 1 uses spell give haste on goblin 1
Goblin 1 then castes haste on Dwarf 2
