A magic user in first place
A had to do a lot of dying and restarting in the early levels.
For a long time I could not even get in the top 10 with magic.
Bragging
Re: Bragging
Whoa that is impressive 
That is much better than I've managed to get (level 25 or something like that). And with magic! I've always turned to a mainly focused strength build to get deep down. And to have it all end by a miscast spell

Re: Bragging
Killed by Victory! ha!
I added Goddess Of Healing and Constitution for some survivable and it did the trick
There are some things that I think will need rebalancing and others that maybe exploits.
Gem blast + Elder Magic
This makes the speel cost 0
Lots of free damage, you are still very dangerous even with 0 mana.
Most of your fire and other spells feel worthless once you have it.
Just nuts.
Magic Staff + Sward to Ploughshre
Turn any amount of mana into food, I have not tested this with warlock spells yet.
Also using high magic you can get rainfall via Archmagic.
As High magic gives both food and water I could drop both Druid Magic and Water Magic. High magic is powerful.
I think the most overpowered has got to be Time Magic.
Teleport and dimensional swap are already really powerful
Etheralness is just broken! And adding it to the same magic school...
things like portal and featherfall can not compete.
Talking about portal, if you have both Earth Magic and Air Magic (or Elemental Mastery) then you would never use portal.
There is an air spell that also removes walls (and other things) that costs less mana, I think it was called disintegrate?
White Magic needs some help.
I really think that White Magic should have healing spells that do not need crystals evey time. Black magic can heal using drain line without crystals, Black magic was much better for healing. The whole White Magic school feels almost useless. I also think that White healing magic should not be able to fail, or at least, not hurt you. You only use them when your low life and when they can kill you it makes them less useful then healing herbs.
What if your hurt and have nothing else to heal with...
it's a risk to play on without healing... but it's also a risk to heal...
So sometimes I don't heal and play on and then I end up thinking "Why did I pick White Magic?".
Love the game Zefz!
I'v had lost of fun with it

Re: Bragging
Awesome to hear you enjoyed it!
I've fixed it now.
Problem with not requiring Mana Crystal is the exploit of using Dark Magic from Black Magic together with healing to gain infinite recovery of mana and life!
Did not expect someone to win the game so suddenlyKilled by Victory! ha!
I've fixed it now.This is a bug. Gem Blast is not supposed to only cost 1 mana!Gem blast + Elder Magic
This makes the speel cost 0
Ah yes, you're not supposed to be able to use Sword to Ploughshare on conjured items, that would be an exploit for free foodMagic Staff + Sward to Ploughshre
These are some very good points. I mainly tried to make the game faithful to the original, but White Magic is supposed to be the best magic type for healingWhite Magic needs some help.

Victorious,
Killed 402 monsters
Ha!
I wonder how far someone could get without killing any...?
As I have been knowingly exploiting the game please delete my highscore when you have time. God of Magic, MagicTest01 and All Magic.
Killer was also me but I was not cheating with that one.
I could not find it in the Black Magic school or warlock school.

Whats Dark Magic?

Re: Bragging
Sorry, it was a spell used to be in Black Magic (turned life into mana). But I figured out it would be too easy to exploit so removed it.
So maybe you're right in allowing White Magic to have a healing spell that doesn't require a mana crystal would make it worthwhile to pick!

Re: Bragging
Year, I totally think you should look into that man. White magic has got to have some place in the game.
Changing topic.
I'v dropped down to 3rd place! Heavens no!
I don't know if thats you in 1st and 2nd Zefz but it looks like players are working out the power of magic.
It's all great fun right now but I feel that sometime we will need to get the exploit fixes deployed.
We could end up seeing the high score board flooded with nothing but victorious
Re: Bragging
The new highscore is not me
Yes, I've had a new update in the works a while now. But I want to thoroughly test it to ensure no new bugs or exploits have appeared first!
