Info

MagicSpells is a Minecraft Bukkit plugin that creates magic spells your players can use. Its main purpose is to give your players access to certain abilities that you might not want to give them unlimited access to. However, instead of just giving them access to boring commands, they instead get more interesting spells. Each spell can be configured in many ways:

Reagent costs (the cost of using the spell, including items, mana, health, hunger, experience, and item durability)
Cooldowns (the amount of time a player must wait between uses)
Durations (how long certain effects last)
Ranges (how far away spells can be used from their target)
Many more options, depending on the spell

Spells can be cast by using the /cast command, swinging a configurable wand item, or both. It's also possible to have them triggered from other actions the player may take. It's all customizable.

Usage

Before a player can cast a spell, they must already know it. There are several ways a player can learn a spell:

Taught with the teach spell
Learned from a spellbook
Learned from a tome
Gained from a grant permission
Purchased from a shop
Being a server op (they know all spells) For example, a server op can teach Bob the blink spell by typing: ''/cast teach bob blink''.

Once a spell is learned, it can be cast either by using the ''/cast'' command or by using a wand item. Now that Bob knows the blink spell, he can either cast it by command, by typing ''/cast blink'', or he can cast it with a wand item. To select the spell, he holds the wand in his hand and right clicks. Right clicking will cycle through any spells assigned to the item he is holding. When he has the one he wants, he left clicks to cast.

If Bob does not have the required reagents for the spell, or if he has cast it recently and it is still on cooldown, he will not be able to cast the spell and will instead receive an error message.

If mana is enabled, a player can use the ''/mana'' command to see how much mana they currently have. Mana can also be configured so it is displayed on the experience bar.

Yes, going to need to see your config. But for a starting point try the following. At line 96. it shows:

2012-08-05 14:39:42 [WARNING] [MagicSpells] Unable to load spell Shuriken (missing class com.nisovin.magicspells.spells.targeted.Projectile)

That does not appear to be the proper location it will find the Projectile spell class in.

In your config under the shuriken spell where it shows: (If this is what it shows there)

spell-class: ".targeted.Projectile"

Try changing it to:

spell-class: ".instant.ProjectileSpell"

Additionally, make sure to double check your usage syntax for for Modifiers as it applies to lines 102-105.

@SuperMinecraftBrosMC

gonna need to see your config to work those out

@mattbrw08

The armor spell should not allow them to remove the armor. Do you have any plugins that affect armor or ways to equip it?

@mattbrw08

ATM it will only affect the mobs that havn't seen you yet. However, 1.3 changed creative mode so that mobs will stop attacking you after a short while, maybe nisovin can find a way to implement this

@AndTuts

What you would do is go through your groups and assign magicspells.cast.spellname for each of the spells you want those groups to be able to cast, then just give the donators the magicspells.cast.*.

hey man jus wondering, it seems when people do /cast armor they can quickly store it in a chest before the duration runs out. this lets them keep the armor. Is there anyway I can config for the items to be despawned no matter what, even if in a chest. Or possibly a way to keep the items locked in the armor slots so they cant be pulled out? Thanks for any help, and I really love this plug-in, you're the best!

All ranks on my server currently have the "magicspells.cast.*" permission... But I would like to have this as a donor feature, and therefore, I need to get that gone... Could someone please help me?

Yeah, I'm not blind. It also says that 2.8.2 should work fine, that's why I was asking.

Is there WorldGuard support? I can set anti magic areas to prevent explosion from griefing but what about projectile spells?

Read the post.

There is with big letters Notes on 1.3

There are Dev versions that work completely fine.

Has anyone encountered any errors while running MagicSpells 2.8.2 on Bukkit 1.3.1 R1? I wanted to check in case there was an unforeseen bug that the developer might've overlooked, before I update my server. :)

Can you please compile this plugin with Java 6? JDK 1.6? MajorMinor error, Bukkit still uses Java 6 so please recompile it :P

I agree with TruseBruse, that might be cool!

Also can you update this to 1.3.1 soon please?

That's what the tome spell does. Nisovin made a plugin that made readable books and hooked into MagicSpells would make books that taught you a spell, but he dropped the other plugin when 1.3.1 was close. See notes for Version 2.9

I HAVE THE MOST AWESOME IDEA FOR THIS PLUGIN! Now at the new update. 1.3 you can read books. What if you learn spells from books. So when you open the right book for he right spell, you learn the spell.

That would be so very awesome!
