    So, I ran into a road-block and realized that the current magic template could use a bit of improvement...  

    Spell Template
    Current Spell Template:

    While this is fine and dandy, I believe a face-lift to this would work better...


    Primary Magic Name:  (Name of the Primary Magic)
    Magic Derivative?:  (Is this magic derived from a slayer position or a golden key?  If so, which one?)
    Caster or Holder Magic:  (What type of magic is it)
    Magic's Focus:  (Is your magic primarily focused around attacking, buffing, debuffing, support, healing, etc.  Explain what your magic's main focus is.  While you CAN deviate from your magic's focus, this will give us a general idea on what to expect.)
    General Description: (How would your character use this magic?  Explain in detail what your magic does in general. )
    Unique Abilities:  (List the abilities it provides, make sure to separate each ability! Abilities are like passive traits, or a hidden power that can be activated for a very limited amount of time. These abilities are Unique to your characters specific use of the magic! As a starting D rank character, you are able to have 3 unique abilities, refer to the magic rules for abilities higher than D rank.)
    Name:  
    Effect:  
    Name:  
    Effect:  
    Name:  
    Effect:  
    Magic's Strength:  

    • Magic Strength 1
    • Magic Strength 2
    • Magic Strength 3

    Magic's Weakness:

    • Magic Weakness 1
    • Magic Weakness 2
    • Magic Weakness 3



    -- Spells --
    Spell Name:
    Spell Description:  What does your spell look like upon casting it.
    Spell Rank:  What is the rank of the spell.
    Spell Type:   (Fire, Water, etc. Offensive, Defensive, Supportive.)
    Spell Duration:  (Duration lasts for number of posts.)
    Spell Cooldown:  ( How long does it take for the spell to be usable again? Usually one post extra than your duration.)
    Spell's Effect:  Place in what the spell does, whether it buffs or damages 1 person or a group of people.  Explain all effects in the spell in-detail.  All effects of the spell will be referred to here.  
    Spell's Strengths

    • Spell Strength 1
    • Spell Strength 2
    • Spell Strength 3

    Spell's Weakness:

    • Spell Weakness 1
    • Spell Weakness 2
    • Spell Weakness 3


    ------
    While it might look very similar to what we currently got, separating the spell's description from the spell's effect makes things easier to look at so one could quickly refer to the spell's effect to see exactly what it does without having to sift through what the spell simply looks like.

    Also forcibly placed bullet points so people have to use bullet points to address strengths and weaknesses.  

    Split a few categories up top to make things a bit more easier to understand as well as give people a head's up with the kind of magic people use and the magic's main focus (what to expect also, when grading).  

    While it's a few more entries, I believe this will make grading a bit easier and possibly even make spell creation make a bit more sense.

    I would have gone with html.. but that might overwhelm some people.. but if enough people want it, I could make a table for all this.

    The derivative bit probably isn't needed as a person can potentially have more than one golden key (its tricky, but possible). I don't think we need the focus bit that much. However, putting the bullet points in place in the template would be good I suppose.

    A somewhat minor point;  If any changes are done you should fix the code so bolding and such is contained within the colon.  :

    So name:

    Name:
    Code:
    [b]Name[/b]:
    Rather than

    Name:
    Code:
    [b]Name:[/b]

    By doing this,  if you prefer the live text editor like I do,  the text you want to type does not get auto-bolded by the uncontained bolding.

    It's something that has annoyed me for years now that I always correct personally as the first thing I do on any app.

    The derivitive bit does seem superfluous. But the focus bit might be a helpful quick reference. If you are looking for a job partner or something with a specific skill set you can use the focus section to quickly identify if the magic has what you need. At present to do this you'd have to shift through descriptions, strengths and weaknesses to do this.

    Well, at the very least can the following fields be added?

    Spell Effect: Explain the effect of the spell
    Spell Range: Effective range (distance) the spell is capable of being cast.
    Spell Speed: If involving an object in motion, how fast does this object move?

    could do but people can put those in themselves and put in descriptions anyway.

    I play about with the template all the time (using spoilers for example).

    However, i'll probably add the bullet pointing bit in at least
