It's quite easy to get the spell cast to change randomly between two selected appearances. You use the same sort of code as is in the bottom of the rpg_mode.cfg in src.

Like a smoke Grenade.
A spell that will launch a projectile anywhere you aim. When it hits the ground. A cloud of fog appears for around 10 seconds.
Why's it always Leo who comes up with the hard stuff...

I know it's possible, it's just really reeaally complex!

I know... the thing is, I haven't started working on it :x (bad Arc, bad bad bad Arc :evil: ) :lol:

Anyway, it'd have to with air, maybe some water particles if you toned them right aaaannnnddddd maybe some sort of gravity so that it spreads correctly... other than that I don't think there'd be much of a problem... besides the fact I don't know if that would produce smoke... :lol:

What about a shield? a spell that creates a bubble infront of you and increases all your stats for 20 seconds...

bubble shield I think would only be possible by tampering with the source code.

Not unless you decided to not have an actual shield, but more of a constant health and stamina rate. You know, you use the spell and whether you have full health or not, it keeps your health up, even when you're being attacked :P

well then that isn't a bubble shield is it? :P

But yeah, what you're suggesting would be relatively easy
