it has been long since I started asking about how to do magic. now I finally made something.
With the help of wushin, MrGrey, Jenalya, V0id and some others I don't remember I created a new magic skill. It's called Dark Magic.
At the moment it features 6 spells which you can test on the testing server - Testing world.
I only created two of that spells, credit for the other spells goes to MrGrey. I meerly tried to balance those spells.
If you want to read the code and see what I changed check out.

I gave those spells initial names which won't be kept if they get into the mainserver.
- #nertuq, by me
deals AoE Damage in a certain area around the player. this spell does not take into account if the target is in view or not - #halhiss, by MrGrey
spawns snakes - #halproc, by MrGrey
spawns black scorpions - #halheth, by MrGrey
spans skeletons - #phlos, by MrGrey
Shadow strike. very powerful spell against light creatures - #phlex, by MrGrey
Poison dart, similar to flar, has a poisonous effect on Players only - #helorp, by me
spawns a wicked mushroom
with best regards and happy testing

EDIT:
For those who do not have the time to read through all the posts:
Spells are now Quest State dependend. This means you have to either complete the Orum Questline and after that the Waric Questline, or set the right QuestState at the Debug NPC outside the Cave at 017-1.
To learn Dark Magic you have to be on the Dark Path by killing the mouboo and cutting the tree. These quests can be done at the earth spirit on 005-1. You also cannot be a follower of Sagatha if you want to learn Dark Magic, meaning Dark Magic will not be accessible to people who already learned Astral Magic.
The spells which are currently obtainable through the questline are #poison, #darkmush and #snakes. Those will come in with the next content update, the other will be released at a later date.
If you want to test the other spells above as well talk to the Debug NPC at 017-1 and set your Quest State to 51.
Also to balance things I have added two summons to Astral Magic. Invocations are #mooo and #ginaria. Bring pink antenna, cotton cloth and root.
Enjoy testing!
