Talk:Magic

Plan of action

As it stands today, there is a LOT more to write up here. This page is incomplete and I already know much of it to be incorrect. My plan for my next steps is:

• Copy my old forum post into here [done, uploaded]
• Go through all string tables and find all references to spells. Make sure those are all documented [done, but only offline, as many appear bugged and need further research].
• Ingame, label every single one of the 200+ known spells in my spellbook. [done, last night]
• Search the ingame string table with debugger to find more strings.
• Dump Unity textures and check the graffiti textures (I think they differ from the string table).
• Write a macro to go through all 20,000+ combinations of runes to see which get added to the spellbook.
• Find how to freeze/edit mana with CheatEngine, so don't need to keep leaping into lava every 2 spells.
• Do some basic tests on all found spells, try on basic targets.
• Update this page with all findings.
• Pretty up the formatting.

That's just the basics though. After that, experimentation to see how each spell acts on each possible target is a way bigger task (eg Create Wood acts differently if cast at ceiling), and feels like it needs community effort. I don't see a reasonable way to automate or script it.
