In more detail

Compound spell crafting

The spell crafting is largely inspired by wordcasting in pathfinder. It allows the player to combine different spell components to design diverse, powerful and or silly spells.

Compound spells components have 4 different types:

• Effects

• Targets (missile, cone, circle, square, laser, projectile or self )

• Effect Modifiers

• Target Modifiers

Examples

here are some examples of compound spells that shows the potential of the game's spell crafting.

The moshpit

You can combine a "furry" effect (makes the victim attack everything) with the "wind magnet" effect (pushes stuff towards the target) using the "missile" target type (selection of a number of enemies in range) to force a group of enemies into a death cluster.
