For the past month or so we have been running an Elemental “Design a Spell” contest where you the players had the opportunity to submit spells that might end up in a future update in Elemental: War of Magic.  We received hundreds of submissions and the top five finalists were chosen and the public voted for their favorite.

The winner was: unacomn!

HIs spell “Shadow World” was chosen as the favorite in public voting.

“This spell opens up a rift to a shadow plane from which creatures of shadow will randomly spawn on the map for the duration of the spell's upkeep. These shadow creatures ill attack anything in their way except for the units and cities of the caster. If the upkeep is broken, the rift closes but the shadows remain and will attack anything with no exception.”

Unacomn’s spell will make it in a future build of Elemental, and will also receive some great prizes as well.  Congrats!

I like it. I hope you guys make it appropriately available to modders as well. Could be sweet as hell. Most importantly, I wouldn't mind being able to choose what unit gets spawned (as a modder, not a player).

Sounds cool to me.

So... shadow world, huh? Can I go there? Build outposts? Conquer it?

Not on the top of my list but all the spells selected were interesting in a way or the other. Congrats to the winner and those who almost win (hey, you got a gift card!) and those who didn't almost win but made it to the final list.

So does that mean none of the other awesome spells will make it in?

This just means this is the winner of this spell contest and his spell will for sure be going in.  Like we said before a ton of these submissions were either great spells in their own right or had parts of them that were innovative and interesting that we could potentially work into different new spells.  

I wouldn't expect probably to see any of these spells with the EXACT name and features (wouldn't say for sure it wont happen though) but know that we do like a lot of them and expect to see similar mechanics and effects in future spells.

A big thank you to Stardock and to everyone who voted for Shadow World. I'm looking forward to plunging the land into darkness  

 

I really liked some of the other spell suggestions and I hope they get into the game, at least in spirit if not in name.  You can never go wrong with more spells.

You can never go wrong with more spells.
Careful with what you say...

Fireball, Iceball, Airball, Earthball, Lifeball, Deathball, Fireball II, Iceball II, Airball II,.......

Good point, then you can never go wrong with more diverse spells  

 

Deathball actually sounds very nice.

Congratulations

I didn't even know you could of voted. Sounds like a fun spell to have in the game.

on Jan 04, 2011

Congrats! More spells is good!

I'm not a fan of this spell. The last thing I need is more monsters running around my land.

on Jan 04, 2011

So this now implies that there is indeed an other plane in the Elemental cosmology. I thought that was something that wasn't going to happen? And honestly, I don't really approve.

I do very much approve of the gameplay aspect of this, though. Dropping this in the back side of enemy territory is sure to raise some very convenient hell.

Bitch, bitch, bitch.  I think this is a neat spell, or maybe as a random world event, either way, its neat.  Good job unacomn.
