play=1 New Spell trails, entity and environment impact effects. Demo of Ice Sorcery's ability to Freeze a foe solid in their tracks.

It does sound quite fitting, doesn't it? You just wanna let your evil side loose!

Spell trails now persist on impact (versus initial instant vanish) and we now have spell impact effects for the environment+foe: visual and sound (looks and feels much better). I'll get a video uploaded later evening of these changes and a preview of the new Ice effects.

Good feedback, gents. Additional elements are planned beyond the success of implementing the primary three: Nature/Poison/Radiation (as mentioned, themed around the fallout), then Dark/Light of sorts. Also, I'm a fan of companion/pets of sorts too... we'll sneak something in, one way or another. Everything will remain themed around the biomes and existing story/content as much as possible. Regarding NPC's, I'm 100% intending on tapping into the A18(?) Bandit system when it arrives and making friend/foe Sorcerer's a thing. Beyond that, I think my time will be best spent on further expanding Sorcery and its systems directly, versus trying to get into character modelling and animation (not a quick or light feat). So in a nutshell, absolute planned features beyond what's listed: More elements: Poison/Nature/Radiation > Dark/Light A full arsenal of items to compliment the Sorcery attribute and skills (armor/equipables/mods) [i'm sneaking a couple things in now] NPC Sorcerer's, friend and foe Sorcerer Quests (exclusivity/unlocking as @Necrodemus mentioned) More Spells Skill Tree and Perk expansion

Correct, Essence Mastery is the only "harvesting buff/factor". The only benefit of strength would be extra stamina and speed. Is this how you prefer it?

play=1 Extracting / harvesting Ice Essence and "The Ice Transmutation Ritual". One of the most challenging, and funnest (I hope), aspects of playing as a Sorcerer will be attaining and obtaining Essence to craft your Spells and perform Sorceries. I would love your feedback on how YOU would like to attain and obtain Essence, beyond what's demonstrated in this demo vid. Currently, you obtain Essence the following ways: [TABLE=width: 100%] [TR] [TD]Essence[/TD] [TD]Tree[/TD] [TD]Boulder[/TD] [TD]Ore[/TD] [TD]Transmutation[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Fire[/TD] [TD]Burnt, Oak[/TD] [TD]All[/TD] [TD]Coal, Oil Shale[/TD] [TD]Fire Ritual[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Ice[/TD] [TD]Winter[/TD] [TD]All[/TD] [TD]Potassium Nitrate[/TD] [TD]Ice Ritual[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Lightning[/TD] [TD]Forest, Oak[/TD] [TD]All[/TD] [TD]Lead[/TD] [TD]Lightning Ritual[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] ** All natural sources have a chance for Core Essence ** Planted trees must be fully grown, much rarer to drop essence and they currently cannot drop Core Essence. ** May implement ability to plant and grow essence directly (yay nay?)

Thanks for the feedback and sharing your story. I've detailed, and will be keeping in, many code comments to help guide others as to what's going on behind the scenes to make this all possible. It'd be my pleasure to help anyone interested in learning. To answer the particle performance question, it's very good so far with no noticeable issues. I've kept the particle emission count low to help with this. If it becomes an issues, we can always lower particle count further and/or come up with a "low quality" option. I think casting Firenado on a group of 10 zombs caused an interesting effect, however LOL. Keeping your Shader quality lower will help a lot too if it becomes an issue. Though, I've been able to use Ultra+ with a base 2080 and older i7 processor. haha sorry to disappoint! ...soon my friend, soon! I know it's unlikely to happen right this moment, but I'm hoooooooping by a miracle that TFP blesses us with allowing for Localization.txt modifications through xpath (would have to convert and all that). Sorcery has a loooooooot of text that needs to be added there. I'd also like to tap into the quest localization, which would make that a millenia easier. Anyway, until then, yes... a batch would be much appreciated, for all our sake!

play=1 T5 Firenado, Fire Spell demo

Preliminary Ice Sorcery teaser demo Also, thank you all for the feedback and shared excitement!

Added a rough teaser vid of the Fireball upgraded and base Firenado spell in action. Pardon the unfinished fx and polish. I'll get a video of the upgraded Firenado in action.. I think you'll approve!

Feedback, Ideas, Bug Reporting Constructive feedback is welcome and encouraged. Specifically, it's very helpful to hear from those wanting and willing to play a cheat-free normal playthrough. If you cheat everything in, you aren't getting the experience or progression intended... nor will you properly understand the perks, skills and functions unless you learn and grow into them while playing. Although there's A LOT more planned for Sorcery, further ideas and suggestions are always welcome in the Sorcery Discord! Compatible Mods Darkness Falls Undead Legacy
