Design a Skill or Spell Contest
Is there an active skill or spell you really want to see in the game? Well, you have a chance now to make that dream a reality. The rules of the contest are as follows:
1) Only one official entry per category (i.e.: one active skill and one spell) is allowed per player. You may submit additional concepts if you like, but only one of each type counts for consideration of the contest's prize.
2) You must include all the information requested below for the active skill/spell you are designing. Using the template is highly encouraged.
3) The winner of the contest will receive 2 XP. There may be an additional prize for winning, but that is being kept secret for the time being. The winning active skill and spell are guaranteed to be implemented in the game in some way, though you may not see it immediately.
4) You must be a registered player of the game at the start of the contest in order to participate. Suggestions from non-registered players are welcome, but they do not qualify for the contest's rewards.
For Active Skill Submissions:
Name:
What is the name of the skill? It doesn't have to be clever, but it should have a clear relation to what the skill does. Keep in mind that player characters are considered to be wielding swords for the most part.
Cooldown:
How many rounds must pass before the skill can be used again. Also, some skills may need an internal cooldown. To denote internal cooldowns, write something like "X CD / Y ICD" where X < Y.
Description:
What does the skill do? Exact numbers are not needed, but your description must be precise and clear. If your skill causes a new status effect that is not currently defined, you should define it in your description. Be sure there is a connection between the skill's name and its effects. Lastly, aim for a set of effects that are unique from pre-existing skills.

Mana Cost:
How many magic points does the spell require to cast, and how many magic points does the spell use? Normally, the casting requirement and usage cost are the same, but for some spells, they may be different. If they are different, write something like "Cast: X MP | Uses: Y MP" where X < Y. Y may also include variables enclosed in curly braces ({}); for instance, you may write "Cast: 3 MP | Uses: 3 + {Number of Targets} MP."
