I also have to say, I'm going to be way more active here.
Joining a club like this would do me good.
I'm also going to try really hard on thinking of ideas for more posts.

[DDv]

I'm glad there is at least some interest in this club. :)

[Riiko-Chan]

Well, I'm glad you have this club! :)

I'll try to recreate the post that is lost forever.
(I'm sure I don't remember half of it.)

About the Mosaic Magic System (or MMS):
The system is based on the use of symbols/runes/call them whatever you want. The symbols represent the various aspects of the world, such as fundamental elements or evil and good. These symbols when combined properly form a spell that can be used. The proper combination is a line of these symbols, and the order of the symbols affects the nature of the spell. This system brings some fun into the life of magic users. They will feel like they are actually researching magic by coming up with new spells. Creativity is rewarded with more powerful spells. Another advantage is that you can have a spell for every kind of situation, the only limit is your own imagination/creativity.


Some examples to show the concept: (These aren't final in any way and can change drastically over time.)

Example1: [fire]+[shape:burst]= Fireball
Example2: [force]+[shape:projectile]= Magic Missile
Example3: [water]+[conjuration]= Create Water
Example4: [mind]+[order]= Calm Humanoid/Animal


What we need to achieve:
- A comprehensible (not too complicated) system.
- Cover every aspect of the game. The assortment of symbols should allow the players to be able to come up with a spell in every situation.
- Achieve this with as few symbols as possible.
- Implement some kind of limitation. Both the power of individual spells and the number of spells per day should be limited. This limit would increase over time (e.g. when players level up).

Other options to consider:
- The current formula is in 1D, uses a line of symbols. This could be extended to 2D, using a grid.
- Alternatively a blank page could be used as the base of the 2D version, where the size and the positioning of the symbols would define the effect of the spell. (I like this one the most, but this is the most difficult to develop.)


I'm sure there are things I haven't thought of now. Any suggestions?
The list will be expanded later.

I think it's a wonderful idea. I can't wait! If I was a part of this club, I wouldn't mind helping, but I'm not. And I can't possibly make enough posts. Even if I do, the project will probably already be done and all I can do is say I gave encouragment. That's fine by me as long as I did something. Any who, great idea! It'll make his/her mind work hard on good spells and symbols. And the fact that it's magic is awesome! I've always loved magic; well, I'd say more, like, addicted. Again, great idea!

I think You can still help. I haven't satated in the rules that non members can't participate in the club's activity. In fact, if I see that You are enthusiastic I can add You to the member list. ;)

And I don't think this project will be over soon. It needs at least months to develop and test.
