Spells
Introduction
Spells is a plugin that adds magic spells to the game. It is the successor to a previous magic plugin developed by the same team. The goal of the plugin is to introduce a whole new style of play by adding new ways to fight, build, and more. This is achieved by allowing the player to cast a wide variety of spells with many uses. We want our plugin to feel like it is an integrated part of the game, not an addition. In order to accomplish this, we have added immersive features that go above and beyond the expectations for a normal server plugin.
Why Spells?
Spells can be customized and molded to your liking more easily than its competitors. Our plugin loads all of its spells from a folder that server owners can edit, allowing them to add and remove spells. This includes support for custom spells not made by our team. It is very easy to use Spells as a player. After crafting a staff via a custom crafting recipe, players are able to navigate a hierarchy of spells to find the type of spell that they need using only the mouse. This makes it efficient and easy to cast spells, and helps integrate spellcasting into the normal flow of gameplay. In order to balance the plugin, all spells have a material cost; the more powerful the spell, the more difficult it is to acquire the items required to cast it. Please note that in this beta stage of development, we are still trying to balance spell costs. Spells also features permissions support and a spell creation API.

Possibly. We are looking into a spellbook mechanic, and possibly even customization of spellbooks. We just need to find a way to make it user friendly, which is giving us trouble. I have some ideas, but we're still looking into ways of doing it well. Spout will be quite helpful in this regard, as would a custom menu API in vanilla minecraft.

We're working on it. At the moment, no, that is not possible. However, see this pull request. Were that to be implemented, that would be added immediately.

Posted Sep 16, 2011ok so i was wondering i know this plugin is in its alfa stage but later on would it be possible to add like where u have to choose wether u r a good wizard or a bad one and then have special spells based on what u chose and have some spells be kind of like generic so wether u were good or bad u could use them. i got the inspiration for this idea from the picture at the top, lol

Posted Sep 7, 2011That is difficult to do, simply because although it is possible with spout, we do not want to alienate non-Spout users, and are thus using a preexisting item (We spent a while looking for a good one nobody would really miss, Don't know if it worked, but I think it did).
As it says in our user guide, there is a special texture. It is included by default in the Aor texture pack (made by yours truly), But you're free to copy the texture out for other use! If spout provides us with a way to automatically change that one texture, We'll definitely include it in the plugin!

Yeah, that thing is a bit pesky. It was kinda just something we did for fun, though.

Posted Sep 4, 2011also just saying i love your plugin i have been looking for something like this for a long time and even though this is still in development it surpasses most other magic plugins. and i was lokking on your wiki and how many spells are being planned on there my god if half of those were added i still think this would be the best plugin on all of bukkit and that is a pretty big statement. also if there is any way i can help just ask cuz i am already loving this plugin but just so u know i have no experience in java so i cant help with coding but besides that ya just ask

Posted Sep 4, 2011ok well thanks for trying i was just wondering cuz one of my server members was using a gold hoe to plant seeds and used the spike spell and lost his items... he got them back though and my magic tower is almost done and i was wondering if this is fixable or not when i am scrolling through my spells it will say sometthing like midas' touch in red but then in blue it says u r using the safefall spell and it is confusing me cuz sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. and then a little feature request could u make it so there is like a trainers wand and a master wand

Midas' touch automatically reverts after about 3 minutes or so [Edit:] Midas' touch is probably not going to make it within 50 miles of the final version, it's ridiculously overpowered.

Thanks. We know that the normal golden hoe works, there just simply isn't a way to remove crafting recipes from the server, and using metadata is, to my knowledge, difficult. We're working on removing the normal golden hoe recipe, and hoping the Bukkit team adds a way to do so.
