Beta Testing "Launch"

[Tom]

I'm officially announcing the start of beta testing.

That means two things:

a) Please test and play with all aspects of the game
b) There will be a reset on launch, so feel free to trade spells, spend XP, etc.

Is it intended that I'm unable to cast Power Level 3+ spells if I have both the Base and Intent at Skill Level 1, and enough Energy on hand? Meaning that there are minimum requirements for Base/Intent Levels based on Power Level, on top of Energy/Concentration requirements?

It is possible to submit a spell, look at the details and get the spell formula w/o having a GM grant it.

Its even possible to get a spell that hasn't been approved yet.

I noticed that, too.  I show a power level 4 spell where I have a 1 in both the intent and base skills and enough energy and concentration.  Shouldn't I be able to cast it?

Change password still doesn't work.

It is in the game guide. Your skill in intent determine what spells you can cast. A power level 4 harm/fire spell requires harm at level 4 to cast. Base determines how much the casting cost you. Essentially, you divide the power level by the base to figure the cost. So a power level 4 harm/fire spell costs 4 to cast if your fire skill is at 1, 2 to cast if your fire skill is at 2 and so on. That is how I recall it at least...

Oops, you're right; I overlooked this part under Skills section:

'There is a hard limit determined by the skill level in that no magician can create an effect with a power level beyond the sum of his levels in the skills required.'

I guess that means (Base Level + Intent Level = Maximum Power Level) for spells of that particular Base and Intent

[Zane]

A power level 4 harm/fire spell requires harm at level 4 to cast.

Ouch.  I missed that.  I guess I better start figuring out some 1,1,1 spells or my character won't be able to cast anything initially.

So... Where do we post story contributions for this beta run?

[cjnodell]

I spent my experience kind of dumb like so I wanted to see if I could give the skill back and get the exp in exchange. So, just for fun, I told the game to spend -20 exp on my fire skill and I now have -20 out of 20 exp required for the next level in fire!

ROFL.  Love it.

You mentioned a system whereby we could "officially" enter spells into the database so that it processes additional experience gain for the casting of spells. Is this system active right now or not? I can't seem to find any way to access something of this sort.

Also, I can also report the change password problem still persisting.

Edit: It is amazing how this sort of thing appears instantly after I write it down...

Hehe, yes, I just finished it. :-)

[Zakilevo]

Well I will post a couple here so people can try using that new feature.
