Shockwave

Name: Shockwave

Cost: 100

Element: Lightning

Description: Sorta like this

Effect: By using her lightning element, Selena is able to form a sphere around her having a radius of 6 feet. Selena charges up her power for about 5 seconds, and then releases it all, which is contained in the sphere. This electric outburst lasts for 6 seconds and then dissipates. Anybody caught inside the orb when the 5 seconds of Selena charging are up, will suffer moderate damage and a knockback effect (the knockback effect doesn't hurt them, make them go miles, or anything like that. It justs pushes them out of the spells's range. During the charge up time, the opponent can run out of the sphere's range (assuming they were in it to begin with) or interrupt Selena with a well placed attack, thus ending the spell entirely (and still consume her mp). If someone is charging at Selena, (not in the orb) Selena uses this spell, and the opponent runs into the sphere, he will be knocked back and take moderately low damage.

Example:
~Selena charges up for one post (five seconds)
-Opponent reacts and seconds passed are determined on what character does and how many seconds it would take in real life
~Selena releases for one post (six seconds)

History: At one point, Selena realized that she needed at least one spell. She wanted to use her Lightning element, and create a spell both defensive and offensive. She thought that if she can contain large amounts of power in a certain range, it'd serve her useful. After much practicing of developing the sphere within a range, the release of the lightning was simple enough, though it did consume much MP.

Quote :: Selena charges up her power for about 5 seconds

How many posts would that be?

Quote :: This electric outburst lasts for 6 seconds and then dissipates

How many posts would that be?

Quote :: will suffer moderate high damage and a knockback effect

No matter high close that really, won't be able to work, because 100 is one tenth of 1000 and that's practically saying one 1000 MP spell can kill someone instantly. So, either make it just moderate damage, or bump up the cost.

You choose which.

1. I'll charge up on my post so opponent can react (but five seconds is five seconds)
2. I'll release it the next post and again have to see opponent react
3. changed it to moderate

How is there a way to define what 5 or 6 seconds is in a post based RP?

The Phoenix Posts : 43 Join date : 2009-08-23

for the charging up part, after i use it i end my post, so the other person just like can determine how the seconds pass by saying what their character does, and determining how many seconds that would take irl.
same thing goes for the discharging it, but whether ur inside it or not it ends, and so does my post

So, charge up is 1 post and release is the following post?

basically yea.
cause if i released it and kept rp'ing without ending the post, wouldn't that be god-moddy?
