Default Re: Wishlist for September

Very well; then, without further addendum, here comes my own wishes (and the three hundred astral pearls needed):

* A way of altering the required paths (and thus the cost) of magic items.
* If possible, a "clone" command for spells would be nice. It would create a copy of an already existing spell. I am thinking of possible applications mostly in the field of summoning spells.
* Allowing a player to select the ID of the summoned creature would also be an interesting addition if we are allowed to create new spells.
* These two suggestions could also be applied to magic items, mainly weapons and armour (miscellaneous items are likely much harder to change).
* The ability to edit descriptions of spells and items, and possibly the name of new spells as well (already existing spells may have a problem with having their name changed however).

At the moment, the only way to make new summonings is to highjack Ermor, which has more than enough of these, and to alter their nation specific creatures. If this solution is good enough to make creating new spells uneeded, being able to change descriptions would be needed; otherwise, you will be stuck with Ermorian descriptions, even if creating a nation of goodly creatures.

The other problem with having Ermor as the sole way of creating more than a few summoning spells is that it may make mods incomptabible with one another, if they all use Ermor to get their summoning spells. Even if T'ien Ch'i, C'tis and Pangaea have their summoning spells stolen by a modder, this problem will still likely occur.

As usual, I have no idea of how much work all the above requires, or how easy it is to implement these wishes.
