Message: <blockquote data-quote="I'm A Banana" data-source="post: 3356444" data-attributes="member: 2067">Tantative White Magic Spell ListI'm starting to pull together some spell lists, now, to get a sense of how the FFZ's characters magic abilities rate next to d20's. They're significantly different, but I see that the individual spells are more limited (nothing will allow you to raise a target without a body, for instance), and more flexible (low-level spells can be fairly cheaply turned into multi-target spells: no extra MP is spent, the spell is just weaker). I'm torn often between simplifying the spell list (each spell should be useful at all levels, unless it's part of a chain that levels up...no spell should duplicate what another does with a minor variation) and keeping FF flavor (if Fire, Blizzard, and Thunder were all the same spell, it wouldn't feel right...)So here's an early version of the White Magic spell list (note that it's even different from the sample characters in the Intro Adventure...remember what I warned you guys about having half-ideas of semi-put-together things. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />)White MagicRank 0Curet: Heals 1d4 hp/MAGComfort: Can Take 10 on Endurnace checks vs. the environmentMend: Heals an object’s hpResist Ailment: Bonus to checks vs. certain ailmentsDefensive Ability Knowledge: Reduces MND, MDF, DEF, max hp, or VIT penalties for 1 rdRank IElemental Force Field: Gives a “buffer” with its own hp against a specific elementSanctuary: Creatures can’t attack target without a MND check; target can’t attack themMagic Parry: Target can negate an attack with an ATK checkUnspell: One Boon on the target has its MAG value reduced.Repose: Preserves a body so that it can be raised later.Rank IICure: Heals 1d6 hp/MAG (From Curet)Make Whole: Repairs an object fully (from Mend)Overcome Ailment: Enables another save against certain ailmentsDefensive Ability Surge: Gives MND, MDF, DEF, max hp, or VIT bonus for 1 rdShield Other: You take ½ of the damage dealt to anotherSafe: +50% DEF and VIT.
