So it's possible to make the Bound Sword do more then 6 damage? I should try that.

Well a bound sword is kinda meant to do more than 6 damage .-. if you don't want it to give you regen or something like that.
EDIT:like |binding(sword)|self|regen/heal/divine intervention| so the sword doesn't need to be a high damage sword but more a support.

What about life drain?

Well I have a few spells that someone might want to use and i'll just list them here:

|Wall|(Durationx3)|(radiusx3)| AoE|Lightning Damage|(Damagex3)|(knockback)|
Probably not the most mana-friendly skill you would get but it works if you just want to get a moment to heal or something.
PSnly works on full moon

|Projectile|Random teleport/Divine intervention|
Just a spell to use when you can't get away and don't want to use the lightning wall or don't have enough mana.

|contigency:death|Zone|radiusx3|durationx3|AoE|attract|Lightning damage|damagex3|
just a last resort when you die. Not the best thing to use for your contigency. But kinda nice if you have low/no armor and want to atleast do something to your opponent.

|channel|heal|
A nice little skill that heals you as long as you cast it.

|Projectile|(velocity added)|Life Drain|Damagex3|
A very expensive skill(30-40k mana full moon) that does huge damage on full moon (around 77) not worth it to cast at crescent and half moon.

|Binding(sword)|AoE|radiusx3|any damage skill|knockback|(blind)|
Not so good as DanBeatYou_xD's sword but works against enemies all around you and not just they who are just standing where you attacked.

|Self|Mana Shield|durationx3|
Nifty little spell that when cast gives 11mins of Mana Shield.

|Contigency:damage|Self|Heal|healthx3|
Heals you when you take damage.

well if anybody wants recipies for any other spells you can just ask me

Dang man you have lots of mana.

 

[FlashFire]

What about life drain?

Life Drain will work but it will only deal damage to mobs that are not enderman/skeleton/zombie type mobs - those are not affected and it will cost a lot more mana

Dang man you have lots of mana.

Yeah I'm level 99 (don't ask how it takes forever xD)

 

[Launcelot_J]

Lol yeah I'm lvl 65 on my magic world 2 world and it takes forever...

Also, I am looking for a pvp bound sword that doesn't use too much mana...(its for a direwolf20 server and I'm only level 40) Does touch|lifedrain affect the user or the target? Because I am looking for high damage, armor piercing weapons (fighting people with amethyst armor or powersuits) Is this possible, or should I just grind my magic level up?

Edit:
Found a decent way to train...wish I had this before
Sit down somewhere with a beam|physical damage spell pointed at a mob trap, then hold down the mouse button and read a book or something.

1. level up. 2. maybe make a |binding(sword)|AoE/touch|magic/physical damage|? or maybe |binding(sword)|touch|entangle|life drain|?
remember a contigency like |cont:dmg|AoE|blind|disarm|entangle|damage skill|opt:damage)|
or this (how much mana does a lvl 40 player have?) |binding(sword)|AoE|radiusx3|entangle|blizzard|(damagex3)|(self|heal/regen|) (not sure if you would want to use this though)

 

[Soulskulptor]

Been watching Mithion's preview videos for AM2 v1.2. Dim, reg, aug casting modes gone and replaced with being have variants of the same spell all in one spell.
Example: my Darkfire spell is Projectile, fire, ignition, blind. With the new system I can have a variant with AoE that I can switch to using C.

Any ideas on new possibilties can be done with this system?

Also in the video I noticed he got the spell as soon as he set it up with the inscription table, not sure if I missed a timeskip or the Crafting Altar is getting scrapped like the sigil system.

The instant spell may be because he's in creative?
You get spells instantly now if you're in creative too

Here's a possibility for you: Healing yourself or your friends with a toggle, buffing yourself or your friends, cast a spell at one foe if you want to focus on it and save mana, or hit the lot of 'em if you can spare it.

Summon a summon close by, or further away. Teleport yourself to the nether, or a foe. Go to a recall point, or send someone else to one(and maybe have them die there). Things we use to need two or more spells to use, now we can use 1 and be fine usually.

 

[Kelivan]

And for for finale, a spell to cleanse the worlds surface of any life form, at about one frame per second:
Chain|Rune Procs|Rune Procs|Rune Procs|Range|Range|Range|Zone|Duration|Duration|Duration|Star Strike

I am actually not sure if this did what it was supposed to do (creating zones of falling stars around every chain target), I only know that when I respawned, the land was littered with bones and glittering of XP orbs. There was also no one left who I could have asked. Let's just call it a success. Use at own risk and maybe ask a server admin.

Can't make that as you described, once Zone is placed in, it won't let me finish the spell. "Zone is a Principum shape and needs a targeting shape added after it in order to function".

Think it only pertains to shapes. like touch and such. you got your touch dig, press C and it is now projectile dig with AoE

 

[YX33A]

From what I can tell, yes, it does only work like that. Which of my examples doesn't work?

Ah, I thought that was all one spell.

 

[FlashFire]

Damn if casting modes are getting removed how am I going to keep one-shotting ppl?

eh I think you would need to have AoE after the |zone|durationx3| then it should work

EDIT: I really hope there will still be some way to make my life drain spell do 86 damage from the arcane spellbook still :3

 

[LunaticMiner]

Here's a simple, fun spell.
projectile, aoe, fire damage, ignition
sorry typing this on a phone can't punctuate too
well
At half moon it makes a 5x5 field of fire that is capable of killing a sheep in a single hit.

Also, I can't see my beam spells, but my friend can on our lan world. Help?

Just going to stab in the dark here and say I'm guessing you have your particle effects turned off in the settings?

 

[FlashFire]

Fun spell: |Zone|durationx3|radiusx3|AoE|Fling|Attract|
kinda fun watching sheep flying (well kinda flying xD)

 

[Madkurre]

Would it be possible to do a spell like:
Projectile | Fling | Gravity Well
to first Fling the target into air, then crush him into the ground. I haven't seen that many spells with Gravity Well so I wanted to try something out.

Well yes it would be possible but you should probably not do it since fling doesn't throw them very high and if you really want to use it do |projectile|knockback|fling|gravity well| and knock them over a cliff
