10E Magic Discussion
-
I started a new thread, there was a mix of 10e magic and 10E caster mechanic mixed into the ‘10E Caster Thread’ … and besides it was getting a tad long.
So in 10E i want to throw up a iron wall, i would presume i would use the energy type Elemental Metal, and the Efx type Wall. But can i create any metal type wall. So Iron Wall, has been in D&D for a very long time we all know it and have cast it before. Can i choose the type of metal from the energy type? If i wanted to make a Lead Wall, or a Adamantium Wall?
So if that is true, Dragon Fire / Break, i assume i would have to mix energy types to create a Dragon Breath weapon like poison (to substitute Fire). Which works a tad differently than the Metal / Wall mechanic.
I can see there are additional little ‘quirks’ as well, i’m just pointing out a few of the more obvious ones to see how they work.

manipulation Wall, yes. you can create any naturally occurring type of metal in the shape of a wall… since Iron Ore abounds in the earth’s crust, summoning that to build your Wall of Iron is fairly straightforward - and also why its a permanent effect
ditto with Wall of Stone (energy type Elemental Earth, manipulation Wall)
Lead Ore, however - is quite a bit rarer - so you’d have to be near a vein of the stuff if you wanted a permanent effect, otherwise it’d be temporary and disburse back to wherever it was summoned from when the spell wore off.
Adamantium - well, you’re prolly gonna need powermaster range and juju to honk that off and get what you’re lookin for ;p or be above a dwarven mine/mountain
Elemental Poison and manipulation Breath should work to give you a toxic breathweapon. energy-admixing it with Dragonfire would add both Fire and Biomagical effect, making it harder to resist.
