I'm gonna limit it to 5 spells for level 1, and upgrade it every other level or so. Changing out spells/abilities is not allowed. It might be easier to do 1 element instead of different abilities, but whatever floats your boat. Spells can't be used repeatedly (that being more than twice in a minute) because of magical energy in the game.
I was pretty basic about this, but if you need more detail, I'll go into it. I just hope I didn't have to go really deep in the magic system, because I want everyone to have their own chance to make their abilities, not have me make them all.
Also, if you do end up choosing elements instead of scattered spells, I might add it to where you can "level up" your elements and deal more damage with elemental abilities.
OK. This sounds good, although I do think that at least what an element IS should be defined. If you leave it too open, I could just say :My character has the Dragon Element, which then allows me to have a Fireball attack, summoning of Dragon-like scales, flight, and more. Now, if you're OK with that, then it's just fine, just making sure you define that (because even if you say "Standard" elements, their aren't really. I can think of numerous places that have different elements, and different numbers of elements.)
Being basic is fine, as long as you aren't giving people more control over it than you're hoping for. I've got the info I really need, though, so thanks!
Actually, this just made me think of something: Are their Dragons in this Universe? If their are, then what are their scales like? If you can get scientific, that would be awesome, but just saying how strong they are works too (in addition to Fire Resistant, Conductor of Electricity etc.)

Okay, in response to your previous post, I plan on making it so that, as as beginner wizard, you have the usual fire, ice, water, wind, earth, etc. The elements you see in stuff like Ninjago and all that. I might make it so that when you're level 20 or so, you can get advanced elements, like the dragon one you were talking about.
Dragons? Hmmm, I don't think so. Yeah, there are dragons in this universe. Scales? I'm just imagining LotR dragons. What exactly do you mean by scientifically?

Makes sense. Probably a good idea.
LotR Dragons is a perfectly good description, if that's what you're expecting their scales to be as hard as (although I'm wondering if that means that their are Black Arrows and Windlances, or are you making up something else to slay a dragon?). If not, then I will need a description on what their scales can and can't block (for one of his spells). If they are LotR dragons, then I would like to know how resistant they are, to, say a magic energy lance or magical acid.
As for what I mean, you could say: A Dragon's scale is made of Graphene nano-tubes and then filled with a diamond, structured in a way to fracture if hit in the direction of another scale.
In case you're wondering what Grapene Nano-tubes are, Graphene is a form of Carbon that is one molecule thick at it's best and I believe is 20 times stronger than steel, and a nano-tube is a cylinder of the carbon, known to make it stronger than it was before.

Every race has 1 point in everything, but the Human only has 3 bonus points to put in anything.
Really? Then in that case, I'll repost my character with spells (I thought they got 4 bonus points.)
I thought you saw the post with all the information on races?
I did that mainly because you pointed out that Humans seemed to be better than everything else, so I lowered the points added by 1. If it seems to be more of an issue, I'll change it back to 4 but add a liability.

Here's my bio! I don't have any spells or stuff like that because I wasn't sure exactly what we're doing with that. I can explain what her name means if you want.
Name: Elowyn Brylun’dam a’Tresarya Kaldena di’Nakol Race: Elf Gender: Female Age: 28 (in human years; I don’t know how long elves live in this world) Class: Cleric Weapons: Knotted staff, dagger Score Attributes -Strength: 1+1=2 -Constitution: 1+2=3 -Dexterity: 1+2=3 -Charisma: 1+2=3 -Intelligence: 2+6=8 -Wisdom: 3+5=8 Homeland: Aelaedal Appearance: Tall, thin, severe features, brown hair worn loose, blue eyes, simple brown robes with pale blue trim, her right cheek and part of her neck are badly scarred (other scars are typically covered by clothing) Backstory: Elowyn is from a small village called Tresarya in a backwater part of Aelaedal that nonetheless experienced its fair share of war. From a young age, Elowyn knew she wanted to play her part in that conflict. When a learned cleric called Srevis came to the village, she decided she had found her opportunity and dedicated herself to becoming his apprentice. At last, she succeeded and began studying under him. It wasn’t long, however, before the call to arms once again came to Tresarya, and Elowyn, despite Srevis’s urgings, chose to heed it. Srevis, fearing for his pupil, followed her despite his pacifist nature. One night, their camp was ambushed by dark elves. In the resulting fire, Srevis was smashed and Elowyn was badly burned. She fled, and since that day has harbored both a hatred for dark elves and a fear of fire.

I did. . . right after I posted my character, and so that small fact slipped through me. It's not a problem, I just didn't know.

Elf years tend to be similar to the LotR lives, but that might get a bit confusing, so I'll keep it as it is.
I really like the detailed backstory you included! Very nice!

What does her name mean, anyways?
Okay.
Thank you.
It is from an old naming tradition that has long been forgotten most places except for those like Tresarya. The five parts are given name, parentage, home, profession, and marital status. So, translated, Elowyn's name is Elowyn, daughter of Brylun, from Tresarya, Healer (literally, speaks to souls), Unmarried (literally, without soul band). Her profession is also indicated by her staff and the pale blue trim on her robes, and the loose hair signifies unmarried.
