Majik 3 textfiles for design ideas

These text files were originally hosted inside the Majik 3 text-based MUD around 1997-1998 timeframe. These were only available for the wizards (programmers and designers) to read and write. Originally these were not meant to be published, but they were published nevertheless as part of the Majik 3 open source release.

color_magic_system.txt (53 lines)

A seven-color magic system v.1.10 There are seven colors (or spheres) of magic which each have their own spelltypes and powers. Some of the spells are just one-color spells but some of them are combinations of different colors. These colors are also linked to alignment and they affect character's alignment very much, ie. if you cast "good" spells (white for example) then your alignment is going towards good and if you cast "evil" spells (black for example), then your alignment is going towards evil.
