@ghost: im not touching guilds atm, and the game, while is getting a big reworking, and might even be renamed at the end of it, i am not going back to scratch ever again
@kurei: thats the idea with the tier system im going to implement, hpowever each spells base version will allow you to use it in two ways, and each of the two upgraded versions two ways, and each of the four branching spells two ways, it is only until the final stage that it ends at one way(if i remember how i had it). This allows people some more control over HOW and WHAT spells they learn, depending more or less on their 'style' of use in the game. each 'tier' will have a limit of 25 uses before it can upgrade(this is assuming you have the stats). this is so you will have at most 12 of one and 13 of the other, upgrades to the system down the road may lead to more possibilities.
seemingly joke magics: im pretty sure we already have a couple of those lying around, but ill be sure to give it some thought
