I was making an ORPG for Warcraft 3 for a while.  Managed to hype it decently, watched people drool and gurgle over some text and no screenshots, then quit.  I used spellbook based magic, where each class had three or so abilities which they could level independently, and each one had various spells.

My plan for spells is that you can choose from around 15ish, which is done from a dialog box with multiple pages that is brought up by typing in "-spellbook".
All the spells, demons, items and ect are all taken from the books, with a little creative liberty in the case of the spells that are obscure.
The spells are rather heavily triggered, as to make them more interesting, and the demons have a fair repertoire of abilities. The higher level demons, like djinni and afrits, can shapeshift for instance.

By Bartimaeus, you mean the Bartimaeus trilogy? Twer good books.

Yes, of course.
Probably my favorite book series, and a perfect thing to make a game from.

Did you know a new one is coming out next year?

Stranger: **puts it on the counter**
Stranger: Done.
You: Alright.
Stranger: Okay. Hurry. We don't have much time.
You: Why, what's going to happen?
Stranger: I'm not sure.
You: Well
You: You can't rush waffles.
You: So whatever it is will have to wait.
Stranger: Why is the stove hot?
You: I don't know.
You: Just don't touch it.
Stranger: See, and I don't know why we don't have time.
You: Here, put this chef hat on.
You: I put on a chef hat.
Stranger: **puts it on**
You: And and apron.
You: And an apron, even.
Stranger: **puts on apron** I feel ready.
You: Alright, now we're chefs.
Stranger: Good.
Stranger: I didn't know this could happen over night.
You: I crack some eggs, and put them in the batter.
You: And then I stir.
You: Slowly, slowly.
You: Ohhh, yeah.
Stranger: Mmm, it's coming along good.
You: Yeah, it's great.
You: We need syrup.
You: I rummage through the pantry.
Stranger: What will I do?
You: We're out of syrup.
Stranger: Damnit.
You: The batter needs love.
You: Love the batter.
You: I'll go to the store and get some more syrup.
You: I get in my car.
You: And drive to the store.
You: I walk into the store, and get some syrup off the shelf.
Stranger: And I'll love the batter.
Stranger: I'm loving the batter.
You: Whisper sweet nothings in its ear.
Stranger: I am. And my eyes are closed.
You: I buy the syrup, and get back in my car.
Stranger: I keep having this lovely moment with the batter.
You: I'm back.
Stranger: I welcome you back with a hug.
You: I hug you back, but not long.
You: Because the waffles need to be made.
Stranger: Yes.
You: Put the batter in the iron.
You: I'll make orange juice.
You: This is gonna be the best breakfast ever.
Stranger: I put the batter in the iron.
You: I go weak-kneed from the sizzling sound.
Stranger: I get excited.
You: I get some oranges and slice them in half.
Stranger: I watch.
You: Get some glasses.
You: I apologize to the oranges.
You: Because oranges have feelings too.
Stranger: I feel sad for teh oranges. But get some glasses anyway.
Stranger: *The
You: They know their sacrifice.
Stranger: Yes.
You: I squeeze the oranges into the glass.
You: Mmm, orange juice.
Stranger: Yummy.
You: Orange juice is gross right after brushing your teeth though.
Stranger: Oh yes.
Stranger: It is.
You: I fondle the oranges, getting every last drop of juice out.
You: There we go.
You: Alright.
You: Now.
You: We wait.
Stranger: What do we do now?
You: We wait.
Stranger: Okay.
You: I lean against the counter and whistle a jaunty tune.
Stranger: I bob my head.
You: I flip through my waffle-themed pinup calendar.
Stranger: I look at the lovely hosue cat we have.
Stranger: And pet her.
Stranger: *house
You: I secretly resent the cat, and wish we had a Boston terrier.
Stranger: I wish we had a fish. But the kitty would not like that.
You: *Ding*
You: Waffles are done!
Stranger: Yes!
You: I open the iron.
Stranger: I watch.
You: And inhale the intoxicating aroma deeply.
You: I exhale shudderingly.
Stranger: I do the same.
You: Delicious.
Stranger: Very.
You: I put a waffle on my plate.
You: And then put one on yours.
You: I grab some silverware and a glass of orange juice.
You: And run to the table.
Stranger: I walk over to the table, and sit down next to you.
You: I put syrup on the waffle.
You: Yeah, take it waffle. Take it all.
Stranger: I do the same. Enjoying it for some reason.
You: There's nothing wrong with enjoying covering a waffle with hot, sticky syrup.
Stranger: Good, I don't feel as creepy now.
Stranger: I start eating.
You: WAIT!
You: Heathen.
You: We have to say grace first.
Stranger: Oh, right.
You: I say grace.
Stranger: I listen.
You: Amen!
Stranger: Amen!
You: RIP AND TEAR
Stranger: Now we eat.
You: I start eating the waffle.
You: I ravish the waffle's tender flesh with my knife.
Stranger: I do the same.
You: I eat some waffle.
You: This is
You: The best
You: Waffle
You: Ever
Stranger: I couldn't agree more.
You: It took four lines to contain its goodness.
Stranger: Yes.
You: I can't take it anymore, I must have it all, and I must have it now.
You: I tear into the waffle.
You: OM NOM NOM NOM NOM
Stranger: NOM NOM NOM!
Stranger: The cat gives us looks.
Stranger: Because we are eating like freaks.
You: I give the cat a pointed stare.
You: The cat doesn't know about waffles.
You: It doesn't understand.
Stranger: It doesn't know waffles goodness.
You: There is nothing in the world better than homemade waffles, made with a real waffle iron.
Stranger: I know.
Stranger: It's amazing.
Stranger: The best thing ever.
You: I'd eat them all day but I'd get fat.
You: But then again, that's almost a fair trade.
You: I have finished my waffle.
Stranger: As have I.
You: I lick the syrup up.
Stranger: I watch.
You: Mmm, syrup.
Stranger: Yummy syrup.
You: I take my dishes to the kitchen.
You: And put them in the dishwasher.
Stranger: I do the same.
You: I use a napkin to get the syrup off of my lips.
Stranger: I just lick my lips.
You: I give the cat one last pointed stare.
You: Take off my hat and apron.
You: And put them on the hook.
Stranger: I do the same.
You: Well then.
You: You are a worthy waffle-partner.
Stranger: Thank you. This means a lot coming from you.
You: It's well-deserved.
You: But now I must be on my way.
You: Goodbye! And may you have many more waffles like these.
Stranger: We shall speak later, maybe cook again sometime.
You: Perhaps.
Stranger: Goodbye.
Stranger: Maybe.
Stranger: I have enjoyed this breakfast. Well, goodbye then.
You: Goodbye!
Stranger: Goodbye!
You: Took you a long time to type that.
Stranger: I know it did.
You: Syrup makes your keys sticky.
You: Should use a napkin.
You: Goodbye.
Stranger: I probably should.
Stranger: Goodbye.
You have disconnected.

And yes, this indeed made me happy.

That was the best erotic story I've heard this year. Bravo.

Huzah! More books i need to read! XD

Also another good books series to read is the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, the second book is Catching Fire. As a note an excellent site for books is paperbackswap.com, you can post books you don't want anymore on there, when requested you mail them, you then get credits to order more books, all you pay is the shipping on the books you send out. Speaking of I need to see if I've credits for the last two books I sent out yet.

FUCK YES I JUST FINISHED CATCHING FIRE TODAY. IT IS AWESOME.

[Jackrabbit]

I read that as 'capatchaloging fire' but the thing is, I haven't touched MSPA in over two weeks.

It sort of gets into your head, doesn't it?

[Reasonableman]

Problem Sleuth made everything (I should clarify: in real life) into a problem to be solved with sheer pulchritude. I wish it hadn't gotten all convoluted and metaphysical to the point where I was no longer willing to follow it. But it nonetheless filled me with joy while I could handle it.

[JoshuaFH]

I continued reading it even after it stopped making sense, if only to obtain closure and find out what the mystical Sepulchritude was.

[Eagle]

Ive read it all. And understood most of it.

[Jakkarra]

It's not like it's that complicated.

[Duke 2.0]

 Figuring out how to solve some of the puzzles was a bit odd. However, the author broke most of the really difficult ones to allow thing to progress so nothing too difficult remained. I'm sure it would be a headache to figure out the bus puzzle.

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

Went to the Wellington pub yesterday, bought four different pints for £10.
And by god, they were tasty pints.
