Some magical ideas involving stone, potentially another use for masonry.

One of Xsyon's lines of lore state "The ways of Swords and Sorcery have replaced the path of science and progress.". And thus with that, I have thought up some ideas for some magical items. I shall put them in separate suggestion tabs, starting with this one.

This one starts with the idea of Magical Stone Tablets. The general idea is that you may infuse magic into stone tablets, that when shattered, cast a spell. One idea of of a spell is a tribe home teleportation spell. The way this would work is that you must create an altar (which may be created in architecture, another idea heh) that will imbue the magic to the tablet. For the case of home teleport, I was thinking Feathers is the universal for home teleport, along with other items, such as maybe salt, quartz, and a bit of Mana/Faith. If Mana/Faith is not available should this come out, maybe some seeds or fish, because they represent life...? Trust me, it's hard to think of spell components. Anyway, once this magic teleport tablet is complete, all you have to do is right click, and select "Activate/Teleport". This will start an animation of your character smashing the tablet to the ground, then stand straight while looking down (Completely my idea. Doesn't have to be this, could be anything Xsyon Master wants). If you want teleport tablets to other tribes, you must ask other tribe members to create a tablet for their home, then buy it from them. Therefor adding value for quick transit, people can make a lot. Of course, there is the chance the tablet can fail, so it's a good idea to craft a lot, and higher quality tablets will have a smaller chance of failing. Perhaps the Tablet and Altar can be crafted at Masonry/Architecture level 25.

Anyway, this is one of a few of my ideas of magic. More coming along the way, tell me what you think. :)

ALMOST IMMEDIATE QUICK EDIT: I completely forgot to factor in PLANTS! Plants could also be used to infuse magic, as they are ALIVE, and can do different things with their properties, therefor allowing complexities for different spells, and rarer plants for stronger and higher level spells.

The addition of different tribal Gods and Divinitys could also greatly influence what type of magic each tribe was proficient at.

Thanks for the input. I do have a lot of plans laid out for this but currently Xsyon is a much simpler version of what I originally designed (intentionally).

That's understandable, but thanks!
