Project Want List[edit]
- New, Virtualised names for the magic schools and subschools.
- A solution to the issue of Alignments and Magic as Virtual doesn't appear to feature Alignments.
Parsing?[edit]
Here's a thought: How about "Parsing" as a replacement for either the "Divination" scool or for the term "scrying"? The latter seems to work better per this definition of the term.
--IMAGinES 16:02, 10 Jun 2005 (PDT)
Actually, the Divination school should be renamed Parsing, and the Scrying sub-school should be renamed Scanning.

Alignment Conversion[edit]
Quick Idea: Spells Requiring Lawful and Neutral Alignments are System Spells, Chaotic and Neutral are Razor, and all Spells are Rogue. Good/Evil/Neutral don't matter.
Just an idea that popped into my mind. --Igtenio 09:54, 18 May 2005 (PDT)
I'm wondering whether it mightn't be a better idea to just drop alignments altogether. I confess that I'm not fond of alignments in Virtual as a matter of taste, but they don't seem to fit either; there's no magical / metaphysical reinforcement of Law, Chaos, Good or Evil in Program Space.
Ultimately, I think we'd just wind up losing a few abjuration spells, mainly the alignment-based Circles of Protection.
