# Spell Creation Guidelines for WizardryEE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 1. File Structure and Metadata
|
||
|
|
- Uniform comment block at the top (Spell Name, Filename, Copyright, Creation/Modification Dates)
|
||
|
|
- Include necessary `prc_` header files (e.g., `prc_inc_spells`)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 2. Spell Logic and Effects
|
||
|
|
- **Damage Spells**:
|
||
|
|
- Complex damage calculations with metamagic support
|
||
|
|
- Example: `nw_s0_icestorm.nss`
|
||
|
|
- **Buff/Debuff Spells**:
|
||
|
|
- Temporary skill/attribute modifications
|
||
|
|
- Example: `nw_s0_identify.nss`
|
||
|
|
- **Aura/Permanent Effects**:
|
||
|
|
- AOE implementations with disable/re-enable support
|
||
|
|
- Example: `nw_s1_aurablind.nss`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 3. Essential Functions and Variables
|
||
|
|
- `PRCGetCasterLevel(OBJECT_SELF)`
|
||
|
|
- `SetLocalInt`/`DeleteLocalInt` for `X2_L_LAST_SPELLSCHOOL_VAR`
|
||
|
|
- `EffectVisualEffect`, `PRCEffectDamage`, `EffectLinkEffects`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 4. Customization Tips
|
||
|
|
- Review `/Notes/spells` for examples
|
||
|
|
- Test metamagic interactions
|
||
|
|
- Ensure spell school consistency
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
