Doodles? Maybe Just scrawlings, from Class~

  A few days in class I was bored and wanting to play Mabi. (lol)
  So i drew some things.
  I thought they were kinda neat, and looking at them again I wanna share them here :D
  
  They're kinda big...
  My scanner makes them HUGE so I tried to resize them xD
  Here's one. A new skill I imagined up, Shard of Eweca.
  It's a active-passive skill, that creates a tiny personal Eweca that gives increased Mana regen % to everyone in the radius. The effect doesn't stack with multiple Ewecas but does stack with Meditation's % boost. Here's the page I drew it on xD

  Then I got bored another day and dreamt up instrument upgrades that were more magical than the ones we have. Keep in mind, the upgrade bonus for percussion instruments i made up was before the magic effects like berserk music renewed like it does now. xD Other include increased success rate for Great successes in playing, greater stat boosts, more healing, and more chance of special status effect success like taming berserk, casting speed.
  here's the page :3

  Can ya'll tell me whatcha think about these things? xD
  Of course I like them, but that's a given since they're things I made up :P
  But are they too game breaking? would they be nice additions?
  I wish these were real xD

  The Shard of Eweca seems a bit abusive. 40 MP for a total of 300 MP regeneration? Unless you needed an item as a pre-requisite, it'd be pretty broken with people spamming Thunders and Ice Spears while having someone be like the Chalice bearer(s) in FFCC.

  Should probably sacrifice more short term, for a gain longer term.

  100-200 MP consumption sounds appropriate~

  ack!
  no that's %
  i forgot to pencil in the % sign
  it's a % boost like meditation not a flat rate :O

  Stamina too imo.
  Look at us, getting all serious about draft work thats to never be seen by devcat.
  
  Honestly, it should DRAIN at a rate initially, so its not a simple matter of just clicking "potion" and then abusing your hax recovery.

  Oh Mmk~
  
  But I agree with what Kita said how there should be a drain in it's mana recovery boost since the shard disappears over time, which should make it weaker since there is less of the artificial Eweca.

  Or we could have an initial boost of recovery, followed by a punishable drain afterwards.
  
  Also, instead of focusing on Mana, which is already recoverable easily in game via potions, elixirs, moon, transformation, meditation, etc, we should see if we can't focus on other magic related things that would give magic users a little more edge in the side of things.
  
  Faster casting speed? Increased damage? Increased range?
  
  Perhaps at the cost of additional mana? Or a drain of mana? Maybe even only usable at night. Could also have a system in which you could INSERT mana beforehand as a battery, somewhat like crystalization of alchemy.

  Oh that's another thing, this was originally gonna be an alchemy skill requiring the use of 1 MP100 and 1 of each basic element crystal to make a "Shard of Eweca" xD
  
  I guess I kinda unbalanced it, but I really wanted this to have something to do with wands :X
  
  But I kinda like to idea of having a great amount of MP recovery for the party.
  Like MP elixirs except more available xD
  
  What about the instrument upgrades :O
  
  the upgrades for them are cumulative so like the last upgrade set, the one for any instrument, is a total of 40% more chance for a playing to be great success. Only if the scroll or random song is able to be 'great'ed.
  
  I made the Shard of Eweca with a sorta 'fully sustainable party' in mind xD
  It'd be nice not to have to use potions all the time...
  but if you combined this with Elves' improved mana regen and r1 of both meditation and SoE then it'd be... 9 MP at night... x3 for elf, x3 for r1 medit and x3.25 for r1 SoE with a wand so that'd be... lol geez 263.25 MP per minute...
  that's full of want and hax :|
  
  I also boosted SoE to be the same as Medi.
  It was originally 50% of what medit gave since I was too unimaginative to come up with my own % xD but even with .5 rate of SoE it'd be 131.22 MP per minute. Both of those numbers lessened if you aren't elf xD

  I got reminded by what kitae said.
  
  What if you could crystallize mana into usable stones for recovery.
  I know this sounds like what WoW has xD
  
  But I think that it'd be nice. But that's cuz I fail at making potions (rC @_@)
  
  What if there were more usable buffs?
  I had one skill made up...
  "Sanctuary" or something xD
  it gave +def/prot/hpregen in a field around the caster.
  
  also had one where int damage (since i still find it horribly low) would get added into physical attacks (Sword of Mana) and each physical attack would cost a certain amount of MP (like 1 per slash at rF and 3 or 4 at rank 1 giving better boosts like % of int damage and extra crit or something).
  Also I made up a non-elemental bolt skill called "shock" but i couldnt' figure out how it'd work since it couldn't be like icebolt with stackable releasable shots or like firebolt with one powerful stack shot out so i gave up on it xD

  oh you :|
  
  /wrists
  
  nah, i know my scrawling is bad xD
  i always write kinda sloppily xD
  
  
  i wonder, can someone else try doing something like what i did?
  I like these ideas :P
  they're all imaginary, but i find them fun to dream up xD
  
  lol just hopefully no one makes up a skill like the one used in this picture here xD
