The arena can be pvp or pvpve depending on rules you wish to follow.

In general it will be pvp with small squads 3 characters, if wanting to run one you can set goals and add NPC enemies.

MAGIC NOTES:

Low Road Legends Magic

• Magic has to have a cost cant be spamming it
  • System needs to have a cooldown offset by Ess, but minimum of 1 turn between use of a spell.
    • Spells that last 2 turns would have a minimum of 2
    • The idea is to not have a spam of one. Some spells may bypass this but we will just call it the cooldown and all spells have a global of one unless otherwise noted.
    • Cost can be added too, possibly essence charging up after being expended
      • A spell may cost 4 ESS, a player had 4 total, player builds up 1 per turn if essence was a specific number and more if his starting number was higher.
• The above are all ideas and subject to change as are the info below

Magic has evolved

• Magic is now not int but essence representing magical ability

Direct attack spells

• Your average attack spells, fireball etc
• Cause direct damage and likely have a defense related to one stat

Buff Spells

• Spells to increase a stat, damage, defense or something else.
• Conversly includes spells to do the opposite to enemies(target allies is ok though)
• This is your ray of enfeeblement or haste style spells

Reactive Spells

• Reactions, realistically im expecting these to be paired with attack or defense
  • Spell that Raises defense based on Ess when hit(reactions to the hit)

Combo Spells

• Similar to reactive spells except these are comboed with an action not in response to an action. As above a spell may be defensive when you are hit, that is reactive, but a spell to say make a blade hit at a distance, would be done in conjunction with the action of attacking.

Misc Spells

• These are spells that may have rules specific to them, on a bell curve i expect them to contain the weakest and strongest spells.
  • Summoning Minions
  • Reviving the dead
  • “Healing” -> seems more a buff spell though
