Cool, I'm glad! And I will definitely add your server, you will actually be the first! :)

I like the sound of what you're trying to do, I want to come check it out. Just to be sure, you turned off the block populator, crafting and enchanting, right?

@stoddartc1

Oh, I didn't even really answer your question... I don't actually use permissions much myself, but I think you can set up a default permission of "false" for each spell, right?

@stoddartc1

Well there is a permission node for each spell (Magic.spells.[spellname] i think)

However i would have to say the newer wand system doesn't really make sense with permissions. Players don't even generally have access to /spells anyway, right?

What I would like to suggest you use is unfortunately not implemented yet, but is currently at the top of my TODO list- that is to add a command which will add a spell (or ability or material) to a wand held by a specific player. This could be used in a command block (or some other method) at the end of a quest to let a player upgrade his or her wand.

Basically I made a decision a while ago to make it so wands know spells, not players.

Using the permissions system with wands might create some weird situations where a player has a wand which has spells on it they can't cast. And giving a player permission to cast a spell won't add it to their wand.

I do not recommend giving players access to /cast (see project description for more info). Basically if you're looking for a plugin that is based around commands and permissions, you may have come to the wrong place, and sorry for that! :)

@BedrockSolid

I'm going to go add something similar to the main description, this is a particularly confusing thing.

The short answer is "make a copy, and remove the "defaults" part:

One other thing I thought of, you could maybe use the blob and undo spells in conjunction to get rid of the light. Just cast blob a bunch around where the light is til it goes out, then cast undo til all the blobs are gone.

Sorry for the trouble.. Is it a client lag issue? I haven't tried casting it a ton in one area.

EDIT2: I'm traveling today, but would like to help if this is still a problem. I'd also love to actually see it if you wouldn't mind.. I'm curious how this happened.

I looked over the code, and "light" should be very temporary, even moreso than I stated before- the light should be gone if you log off and back on again. So this seems really odd.

@Sephiroth146

It is supposed to be temporary, but I guess it may take a full server reload- if the chunk reloads the light should be gone. Is that not happening?

I may need to remove that spell. Unfortunately it doesn't record where the light was placed- changing a block in the right location should remove the light, but that means you have to find the location.

Sorry!

EDIT: It's strange that it's causing lag, though. It should just set block light once and be done with it- so the lag may be something else. (?)

Cool idea!

Currently you can add random spells to wands on an enchanting table.

The play mechanic I'm working with currently is that players can craft wands on a crafting table (the default recipe is a blaze rod plus a nether star- so very difficult to get).

This gives them a low-powered wand with 1 or 2 spells on it. It's equivalent to "/wand random(1)" - a level 1 randomly-generated wand.

They can then throw it on an enchanting table to add more spells. Each level they add (up to, by default, 40) will add more spells (and abilities) to a wand equivalent to a Level X wand. In other words, if you add 40 levels to a wand, that would be like adding a "/wand random(40)" wand to your current wand.

I do like the idea of being able to collect ingredients to control what gets added to your wand- I chose to go the route of random MC enchantments with this, but I will certainly consider adding something like you suggest!

Thank you for your interest :)

EDIT: This will come in 2.6.4 .. I decided to change the way the maps are stored and didn't want to have to migrate, so I pulled 2.6.3 before it was approved.

I've added a new spell in 2.6.3 I'm pretty excited about. I almost made it a separate plugin, but.. meh. You can try it out with "/wand camera".

The camera spell takes a picture of the target player (or a selfie if no one's in view).

The picture renders as a map, so you can pop it in an item frame:

I've also started adding effects to some spells. 2.6.2 added "bending" wands (I'm fond of the Avatar cartoon show), and the "airbending" spells (push and pull) have gotten some love:

The effects are WIP, but once I get it working well I'll probably apply it to other spells. Boom now uses a cool firework projectile effect, and force will highlight the target (which is handy).

@dome77

No problem, but I am curious what the problem was... ?

@dome77

It is not compatible with the creative inventory, but otherwise should work. Are you running Bukkit, or something else? What version? Do you have any other plugins that mess with the inventory, like a backpack plugin or something like that?
