i'm at it again, and by that i mean that i've been brainstorming more server ideas. this time my inspiration comes from nothing other than...Harry Potter. yes, a harry potter style server. it may not seem very interesting, but let me get more into it.

Houses

Just like Harry Potter, you are separated into 4 houses. This is like a guild. You can freely send messages to anyone in your house, even mass house messages. but you need to purchase owl mail to message other houses, or just talk to them in person. you are separately randomly when you begin, based on which class needs more people. go to the belle battle arena and check it out. that is the idea for "house dorms". you know how each house in harry potter has it's own room with dorms and bathrooms, lounge, etc? same here. there would also be a voted head student who would be in charge of reporting to the LAT team or NAT team for personalising the house dorm.

Towers

There are 8 types (colours) of magic as far as i know:

light magic
white magic
red magic
blue magic
green magic
purple magic
black magic
dark magic

these different types of magic are divided into different towers that are connected, but are each resting on different islands, like in harry potter. they would each have different classes based on those types of magic. however, light magic would not have any tower. this is because of this background story...

Light is an element, Darkness is the absence of light. Light is existence in general and Darkness is non-existence or death. When the Light and Darkness merged into one another, they created a black hole so strong that it separated the existence and non-existence, bringing the dead alive, and killing innocent souls. the world was in destruction. The darkness was caught and kept under control, but the Light could never be caught because of it's speed. darkness was maintained very fragile. but the separation from Light then brought peace to the destruction. The man who possessed the dark power then used it's power to enter into the non-existence world. see, dark and light are like magnets. even though a magnet has a south and north pole, it still has the same purpose of attracting things. same for light magic. they can each cause destruction, death, etc. they each have the ability to do the same things, the same spells, except light brings death to the guilty, and darkness brings death to the innocent. anyways, light was never captured and harnessed, but dark magic was sealed away and through dark magic, you can cross over into the non-existence and harness it's power divided into the 6 other colours.

that is why the light magic doesn't have it's own tower. it has never been harnessed. only very brief parts of light have been captured and made into spells. also, the house dorms would be in random towers, doesn't matter what kind of magic you do.

Spells

spells are my favourite. you know how you go into your inventory, click a folder such as "bombs" and choose which bombs you want to use? this works for spells and transformations, but your inventory is only your "spell book", because to equip the items, you must say the spells. for instance, transformus draconus" or whatever to equip your dragon transformation and then you just click it to actually transform.

with spells, however, they work like farming. when you farm, you make money, then you invest in bombs to make more money. same with spells. for instance, you may invest in seeds to grow plants, invest in more seeds to grow more plants, and then invest these plants into your spells. for instance, on era, the pizza shop you actually make pizzas by physically carry the ingredients to the table. same here. you would create your spells. but it doesn't create just the single spell. it creates an amount of that spell. for instance, arrows. you can hold like 99 arrows at a time, right? well, same here, you can hold 99 of 1 spell, which means you can use it 99 times before you have to mix more ingredients for it.

spells work like arrows. first, you say the spell to equip it, then you press the button to fire it forward. here are some examples:

INFERNO - shoots a flame at the opponent. they catch on fire until they die, counter the attack, or get to water. they remain on fire if they don't do anything to get rid of it.
HARM - the most simplest of spells,not really a spell, but you use your wand as a close-combat weapon, like a sword. basically you just whack someone in the head with your wand

ATTACK - attack is like harm, but it attacks the opponent from afar by throwing the wand forward, like a boomerang. just to harm players from afar.

Transformations
some transformations can also be spells, such as the ability to morph into trees or bushes in the green magic tower, etc. just the basic transformations. they work like horses and speed you up, but they don't shoot fire or any of that stuff. you can't sit on them either.

Dark And Light Magic Spells

these spells are also items that would be very expensive, require lots of quests, etc. for example, an invisibility cloak that just simply makes you invisible. levitation, they work like staff boots, speed you up without transforming, and you can walk/levitate over things. and the crystal ball...basically, this is like a warp ring from unholy nation. you buy the crystal ball and then you obtain the crystals from each tower, or other places that are possible to warp to, such as your house dorms. each crystal is coloured like gralats.

basically, you say the spell, the crystal ball is quipped and is floating in front of you. then you choose which crystal you want to use for whatever location it takes you to. say the green crystal takes you to the green magic tower. anyways, when you choose the crystal, it goes up in the air like the golden egg trophy, then you warp to wherever you wanted to go.

there is no money in this server, everything is bought through spells and items, and quests, etc. however there will be a money spell just for the fun of it that spawns falling gold gralats everywhere within your radius. but other players can't pick them up it's just a novelty item.

Towers Continued

forgot something about towers. yes, you can capture them and harness their magic, as well as fight for the towers.

Spar

spar uses the spells which shoot forward, so just imagine an arrows spar basically. people with the invisibility cloak will have some fun in the spar. don't worry, there's a spell that reveals invisible people too. also, jousting on horses and of course...quidditch! well, not really...basically, you're on a mount which is a broomstick and it works like capture the flag. you touch the ball for it to follow behind you. in capture the flag, you need to be hit down to 0 before you get warped back to your base and die. but in this game, you just need to be hit once and you drop the ball wherever it is. but you don't get warped back to your base/side of the field. also, there will be boosts that spawn randomly and rarely that give your broomstick a full speed charge for a few seconds. or until you get hit.for the goals, i was thinking of something like the archway to graal city, like 3 of them with different points for each. winner takes home money or a spell of some sort.

Health

you start off with 20 health. when you die, you get all your health back and spawn in the same place you died. there is also a very rare and hard to get dark magic spell known as "sudden death" and "destruction". sudden death works like the arrows as well, it shoots forward and whoever it hits is instantly killed. the only way to counter this is with a force field from the light magic shop. destruction also works like sudden death, it shoots forward like the arrows except it's harder to get and it shoots more than one at a time, possibly hitting more than one person, killing several. this would be a prize possession, especially during events where there are crowds of people who aren't like to be watching out for dark magic people. you can kill about 100 in a few minutes.

Light And Dark Magic

We've talked about these being one against the other, like the poles of magnets. Well, they are also "alignments" like in Era where you have gangsters and cops. it isn't about who you kill, it's about which magic you use the most. the more dark magic you use, the more dark you become. the more light magic you use, the more light you become. you can easily display your alignment with a spell that makes your character glow light or dark.

One More Thing About Towers...

again, something i forgot. when you take control of a tower, your team is outfitted with uniforms and robes as well as magic hats according to whichever tower you have. so if you have the blue magic tower, you would look like NYN with his blue wizard robe and blue wizard hat.

That's all i've came up with so far. there will also be spells that aim for a specific person if they are in the same level as you are. basically, you just insert their name or PC number and it directly attacks them if they're within range or within the same level. these would most likely be novelty prank spells and not a weapon of any sort.
