That is something else I'm hoping to make better- for now you have to set up text for each shop to use. This goes in message.yml - like this:

spells:
    FireDragonSlayerShop:
        name: Fire Dragon Shop
        title: "Spells ($balance)"
        description: Buy spells for your current level
        cost_lore: "Costs: $cost"
        cast: ""
        cast_player_message: ""
        fail: ""
        no_items: There are no spells for you to buy here
        no_path: You may not learn with that $wand.
        no_upgrade: There is nothing more for you here.
        no_required_path: You must be at least $path!
        no_path_end: You must be ready to advance to $path!
        no_wand: You must be holding a wand!
        insufficient_resources: Costs $cost
        confirm_title: "Buy $item"
        deducted: "&d&oYou bought &r&6$item &r&d&ofor &r&a$cost"

.. At least I think that's the problem there. I mentioned this earlier- but maybe something else is going wrong, too?

Right now it's a little complicated.. I'm considering adding some simpler options to work with the skill point system that I'm planning on adding.

The best way is to look at one of the simpler example configs, like the potter configs:

https://github.com/elBukkit/MagicPlugin/blob/master/src/main/resources/examples/potter/enchanting.yml#L64

You can ignore most of what's in there, and start with the placeholder enchanting.yml you have now, but add the "spells" lists to them.

The number after each spell won't matter if you're only using shops, that's for randomization weights when enchanting. Just put "1" there. So like this...

FDS:
  inherit: default
  spells:
    FireDragonsRoar: 1
    FireDragonsIronFist: 1

etc.

Then just use the default "spellshop", don't try and put a list of spells in. It will automatically show the spells for the player's current path.

This is how this is all intended to be used together. The shops tie into the enchanting system, as a replacement or addition to it.

I may add support for a simple list of spells in paths, but otherwise I think that's how you'd want to set this up if you want to use the builtin functionality to its fullest.

The "worth" tags you have in spells.yml will be used to determine spell prices.

@ShadowWolf294

You could do that, though a single shop will do the same thing. How it would work either way:

1. Player uses a shop, buys a spell. Repeat.
2. Player buys the last spell they see in the shop, they get upgraded. Their path changes, their wand may change, they get a big bump in max mana, etc.
3. Player uses shop again, they now see a whole new set of spells for their current path
4. Repeat, until they're told there's nothing left for them to learn.

You could make separate shops for each path (using the path_exact parameter) but there isn't a need to do that, it just forces them to have to go to a different place to get spells when they level up.

@ShadowWolf294

It applied to both questions, sorry :(

I think it'd be possible to modify the spell shops such that if you put levelled-up spells in there, they only show up if the player has the previous level already. But that's not how it works currently.

Paths only change automatically when a player has acquired ALL of the spells for a path- and this does not take spell levels into account, only that the players has the base spells for that path.

That said, you can change a wand's path via command if you can find some way to rig that up that works how you want. But paths and spell levels are generally not tied together, other than you can make it so a player can't automatically progress to the next level of a spell until they reach a certain path.

tl;dr - spell levels are not really intended for shops. You might be better off just making new spells, rather than trying to sell upgrades for spells.

@ShadowWolf294

No, sorry, there's nothing like that available right now.

enable_automatic_spell_upgrades: false

In config.yml

Selling spell levels still won't work out very well, though, for the reasons you brought up. Players can just jump to the highest level if they save up the cash for it.

@ShadowWolf294

Yes, exactly.

You're not supposed to sell spell levels, they level automatically with use. If you sell them, there's nothing preventing players from buying them like any other spell.

Thank you for the compliments and advice!

You could give permissions with any NPC's that can run commands. This includes Magic- see the NPC section on the wiki, regarding the "command" trait:
