Post Ideas for New Spell Cards in This Thread

Share your ideas for new spell and/or equipment cards in this thread to help us keep all suggestions organized and easy for us to review for consideration adding to the game. Be sure to include an appropriate spell card title, and a description or image of what the spell icon might look like. For summon spells that result in the creation of a new character, use the new character thread instead.

Spells in Summoners Fate fall into one of 6 categories:

• Void: The Void is an innate state of "nothingness" from which existence comes into being. In Summoners Fate, this magic represents that dark side of this concept, with magic often themed around fear, death and hunger.
• Chaos: When chaos energy flares into the physical world, its manifestations are unstable and cause potent destructive force. Chaos spells grant powerful destructive abilities and have the highest damage output per cost of any other magic group.
• Celestial: Celestial Magic is associated with divine order, light, love, spiritual energy and the dimension of time. This magical energy is drawn from celestial beings and the existential ether that shapes and forms the basis of reality.
• Arcane: Arcane magic is associated with the fundamental forces that define reality including gravity, materialization, and psychic energy.
• Nature: Nature magic is associated with the life energy of plants and animals, evolution and survival of the fittest.
• Earthen (Neutral)

I was thinking about a card yesterday:

Title: "Off Sides"

Description: You and targeted enemy switch places

I really just wanted to use "Sides" in the title.

Title: "Off Sides"

Description: You and targeted enemy switch places

Excellent idea and duly noted.

Nature- Fountain of Youth-a fountain appears, water pouring over the screen and heals all the characters in your party for 2 hps, and damages undead for 3. (numbers can be adjusted)

Void- Vampiric Bloodlust- Causes target unit to walk to the nearest friendly unit and "drain" it upto 3 and heals them for the amount done.

Arcane- Mind wipe- Target opponent discards a card and cannot draw a card the next turn.
            Forget This- You discard a card to draw upto 2 cards
Chaos- Switch It Up- Choose upto 3 units, those units switch places on the board

Just random ones off the top of my head. I'll be back to post more.

Wow, thanks Maltross! These are awesome ideas. Keep 'em coming

Ooh, these are fun, Maltross! The names cracked me up, too "Forget this" "Switch It Up"  - awesome

Here comes some
Nature/Celestial - Love is in the air - Heal every characther on the board with 1 Life. Opponents must skip one turn.

Nature - Stingers - Send forth a swarm of bees to do 2 irritating damage to one character

Chaos - Changeling - Choose one of enemy character and one of yours. Switch ownership of these two permantly. (Can´t be cast on summoners)

Ooh, Swedishbear, these are quite fun! The Stingers spell would be quite painful for your opponent and really fun to play during the game. We could probably get some fun bee sound FX to go with the spell.

I really like your Changeling spell! Question - what do you think about the "choosing" aspect being taken away since it's a Chaos spell - maybe it's chosen randomly for you (not cast on Summoners) to really add chaos? Just a thought!

Great ideas, thank you

Hi Kelly.
That suggestion is very chaotic and great! Like it.

Thanks, Swedishbear! I also read your character suggestions, so fun! Thanks for the ideas

Here are a few card suggestions to add to the celestial time keeper rats' gear:

Countdown The next player will have limited time (tbd) for completing his turn. If playing a multiplayer game with already limited time, this is halved. If against the AI the number of iterations gets limited.
In addition a large blinking semi-transparent countdown overlays the screen, to add to that player's stress! 

Warping the very fabric The next player will be able to complete his turn as usual, but once he's done all is reset to when his turn began. Then the exact same actions are played again in a random order (some may become invalid).

Set in stone Disable the undo button for the next player's turn (edited) Instead the next attempt to use the undo button will be rejected. Indeed this spell is only fun/useful if the opponent tries to undo a blunder. If this doesn't happen in the next turn, let's wait until the game finishes. Also we'd have to think about a way to somehow replicate this effect on the AI

Scribe, these are AWESOME ideas! They really got Ross & my heads turning with ideas and creative ways to be able to implement them. I also like the names a lot - "warping the very fabric"? - brilliant! Disable the undo button? So evil/awesome  Stress-inducing countdowns?! Mwhaha!

Thanks, again, for these ideas. Keep them coming!

I'm a fan of the warping the very fabric card. If something like this is implemented, I'm already brewing a nice arcane/time deck haha

[Halftea]

Not sure if you are already implementing this or not.

Stasis: All damage and actions - either given or received - by target are negated for a turn. Playable on both friendly and enemy characters.

Guessing this might be either Celestial or Arcane in nature. Wherever it would fit best...

Edit: Gah! Totally missed the Arcane spell Freeze and the Celestial spell Freeze Time. That's what I get for replying to this thread before reading the entire forum.

Another spell
Nature- If there is water on the board summon a Wakandagi in a space adjacent to a waterspace. If no waterspace is near discard this card and get a Wakandagi to your hand.

Nature - Trap. Place this on a waterspace. When a character enters a space adjacent to this trap a kraken appears with its tentacles and draws down the character to the depth. Summoners loose half their life instead.
