The point of this post is to provide new spell ideas for the Druid class. Some of the following may also be applicable to other classes like Ranger. This post does not delve into new Druid skill ideas. These would be spells earned over a player's Druid career. The greatest spells would be unlocked around level 350.
Druid spell ideas
-Changes to existing spells-
Graniteskin: Take graniteskin from magic-users and give it to druids instead.
Steelskin: Take steelskin from magic-users and give it to druids instead.
Improved Strength: Take improved strength from magic-users and give it to druids instead.
These changes may encourage more people to take talismans in druid to gain some of the benefits of stops and strength buffs.
-New spells-
Adamantiumskin: Like all the previous iterations before it, this spell would cause the caster to increase their stops for a limited time. Is better overall compared to Steelskin, but would be more of level 350 spell. "Your skin hardens as layers of adamantium begin to form."
Summon Elder Worm: This would function in similar style to the magic-user’s summon spells except this would bring an elder worm into creation – a massive, powerful creature. “Dirt and debris explode around you as a massive worm erupts onto the surface!”
Summon Nature’s Ally 1-5: This would function in similar style to the magic-user’s Monsum spell.
Conjure Elder Elemental (fire, water, earth, or air): This would function in similar style to the Elder Worm summon spell except this would bring an elder elemental into creation. “You hear a low pitched growl as a massive creature made of fire/water/stone/air appears before you!”
Wasp Swarm: Conjure a swarm of wasps (counts as one MOB, but the text flavor can suggest it’s a swarm of thousands) that sting and attack a target. Their multiple stings cause damage and poison the target. “
Fairy Swarm: Similar to Wasp Swarm except the druid conjures a swarm of tiny fairies to aid her/him. The fairies deal damage and can cause a chance for the target to become temporarily blinded (blind effect lasts for 4 prompts?).
Poison Cloud: Similar to the cleric’s earthquake spell except it causes all targets in the room to become poisoned dealing damage over time. “A green gas fills the room!”
Enchant Weapon Fire (or ice or electricity): When cast, the druid’s weapon(s) deals additional damage based on the type selected for a period of time; cannot stack multiple castings on the same weapon. “Flames erupt from the end of your weapon!”
Control Weather: Change the weather pattern in a zone and allow the weather conditions to impact some of the druid’s spells. Can only use this spell once every 10 mins.
- Sunbeam: When the weather is bright and sunny (the player can’t be considered “inside”) then the spell sunbeam will concentrate and direct a large beam of the sun’s energy at a target causing damage and a chance of temporary blindness (blindness lasts for 10 prompts?). “A beam of light washes over the area!”
- Water Jet: When the weather is raining and the player is outdoors, this spell will launch a fast moving stream of water at a target which will cause damage and a chance to knock the target over. “A jet of water crashes into it!”
Obscuring Mist: When the spell is cast something akin to what happens when a player with fireshield fights something with ice shield happens – the room becomes full of a haze blocking visibility. “The room begins to fill with a thick fog.”
Blind Sight: When cast, the druid can see through the haze created by Obscuring Mist. “Your eyesight blurs and becomes clear once more.”
Entangling Vines: Casting this spell would cause vines to sprout from the ground and make a Trip attempt against a player or creature (similar to Ninja’s Trip 3, not Trip 4). Give the spell a 10 second cool-down to avoid overuse. “Long, gnarled vines erupt from the ground!”
Elemental Barrage 1-8: When cast, all viable targets in the room will get hit with consecutive attacks of fire, ice, lightning, and rock. Essentially it’s like an Armageddon sort of spell. All the essences of nature attack targets in the room. Cool down would like 1 hour and the spell would increase in power over 350 levels. Cannot be cast while under attack. “The forces of nature rain hell upon the area!”
Form of the Eagle: Allow the druid to shapechange into a large (half-giant sized) eagle for a short time. Allow them to fly and make attacks as this creature. “Your form shifts and you become an eagle!” (I recognize the game’s current design may not support this kind of spell effect)
From Covetous and sent to staff members in January, 2016:
Spells: Druid/Ranger
Chain Lightning – Cast during combat, hits all targets in the room of the same name(Keyword) ex. human, orc, ogre, elf, etc.) Damage would be equal to blitzkrieg. Loses some damage per target hit. 100% to 80% to 60% to 40% etc.
