Back to Basics Spell Ideas: Storm

Welcome once again to another spell idea article! In celebration of Wizard101’s ten year anniversary, I designed some spells that revamp some familiar mechanics with some unique twists. We are going back to the basics with a new blade, shield and convert for each of the 7 main schools of magic.

Much as all the original blades, shields and converts were 0 pips, these new spells will all be 1 pip to reflect their increased power. Today we will be introducing the Storm school version of these spells. All cards created with Legends of The Spiral’s Card Creator!

  • Name: CRITICAL OVER!!!
    just kidding it’s Power Surge
  • Type: Positive Charm (Blade)
  • Accuracy: 100%
  • Cost: 1 pip

Description: The next critical storm attack will boost damage 20% more

Explanation: A blade that boosts the damage a critical attack will do. In PvE the next critical will deal 120% damage (instead of it’s usual 100%). In PvP it will deal 50% damage (instead of its usual 30%)

  • Name: Negative Feedback
  • Type: Positive Ward (Shield)
  • Accuracy: 100%
  • Cost: 1 pip

Description: -70% to next incoming attack and cast a wild bolt at attacker when this shield is activated by an attack

Explanation: A shield that when broken will cast a wild bolt at the attacker. Said wild bolt will act like a may cast (it wont use pips) however it will be un-enhanced and will remain random. Removing the shield with a manipulation such as pierce or shatter will not trigger the wild bolt.

  • Name: Reverse Polarity
  • Type: Manipulation
  • Accuracy: 100%
  • Cost: 1 pip

Description: Convert a numerical negative charm on self or friendly target to a positive charm and halve the value

Explanation: A powerful conversion tool that turns a negative charm into a positive but remains balanced by halving the value. For example: an efreet -90% weakness would become a +45% blade, a 35% accuracy debuff would become a 18% accuracy buff etc. Non-numerical negative charms such as dispels would be unaffected.

  • I feel like Negative Feedback should apply a blade. As a Storm wizard casting the ward, I wouldn’t want it using up my blades. Also, these spells look like they’ll replace Tower Shield. Do you think it would get a revamp to match, or would it become a useless relic?

  • Reverse Polarity is such a great concept for a spell! But how would it work with spells like Weakness that are -25%? Would they be rounded up to +13% or rounded down to +12%?

    • They would most likely be rounded up as that’s how the game handles rounding.
