 Magic School Lessons - ShadowTech's Dark Panthenon
#1
From DerVVulfman: Here, you will find the collected 'Magic School Lessons' from ShadowText as he posted them at Don Miguel's RPGMaker 2000 board. They are almost two decades old as of this post. As these lessons were meant for RPGMaker 2000, they should work with RPGMaker 2003. But they are still only 'templates' for one to design event-based battle skill systems, not fully hardened source code.

Magic School Lessons

My tutorials have been around a long time, initially posted to Don Miguel's Message Board. Almost all of these teach how to make certain kinds of magic for the Default Battle System in RPGMaker 2000, and I refuse to do any that deal with Custom Menus or Custom Battle Systems. But if you have a suggestion, e-mail me by clicking the e-mail button to the left.

Also, remember that these tutorials are meant to be templates, not source. You should try to change the code to make it fit your system. Try to understand why things work this way, rather than taking my word for it.

On a final note, the format for these tutorials might be a little weird. "Master Mage" refers to Magilaureate Ayolis, who is a character I invented who has no idea how to work a computer. His deranged way of explaining things fits in more with the explanations you might use in your games to explain these things. Again, don't take these word-for-word, they're just examples. I hope they help!
