how magic works
So what's everyone's take on how magic will work in destiny? Let's get some ideas rolling, I particularly like the way magic works in a game like skyrim but that doesn't seem at all suited for an fps.

1 Replywith all the guardians having magic abilities, what makes the warlock special now?
-
Anyone see that screen shot of the warlock's PS control scheme? Leads me to believe magic will work a lot like ME 3's multiplayer. 2/3 dedicated buttons, cooldowns...
-
Well I think there will be different builds for magic. In the bungie presentation on they said that the hunter was built as a gunslinger. I'm hoping for my warlock that I'll be able to use support magic for my guild, like to cloak a Titan with sun energy then let him rampage. Or give a hunter a speed boost in combat.

I think it might be something like the siren ability in phase walking and phaselock
-
1 ReplyMagic is The power of apparently influencing the course of events by using mysterious or supernatural forces. That's how magic works

I suspect it will be like Borderlands. You have one button that activates your special ability and it takes a few seconds for the ability to charge up. I doubt it will be like Skyrim.
-
I think it will work that way though
-
I can't be the only person who saw the magic and the rumble triggers for Xbone and smiled
-
I doubt the magic will be up in your hands the whole time like in Skyrim. Chances are it will be special abilities you can equip and change that tie to a given button(bumper most likely) which activates it and briefly puts your weapon away so that u may use your magic to -blam!- YOUR ENEMIES UP!!!
-
Well I'd say that the better question would be, what are the controls going to be like in Destiny?
-
Think it will have to depend on the basis of "Magic" as the class desription for the warlock says they have spent there time studying the traveler to unlock its secrets so if the magic is based of tech then it could be a wearable modual such as gloves or modular armour attatchment that takes the possition of the primary weapon of other classes. So rather than a magic bar as such it would be more of a charge bar that will take time to repenish depending on the indervidual drainage requirments of each spell/tech effect this also adds to charicter specific enhancements as a warlock may look for a better power sauce instead of the titan who may look for a better gun.

1 ReplyI'm sure there will be a dedicated button or two for each class' special ability (or abilities).
-
3 RepliesArmor Abillities 2.0 baby.
-
5 RepliesIm sure we've all seen this. Some insight on how the magic will work. Awesome.

1 Replythere will probably be effect we can find/get while leveling up and we can join any one of these to our magic and depending on our level will decide how powerful it is. so there will probably be one for levitating objects such as the cover the enemies is hiding behind to hurling fireballs at them.
-
1 ReplyI don't know how they will do magic, but it will most likely be centered around combat. (So not really any support "spells" that would do things like turn you invisible or let you walk on water) I suspect it will be strictly for dishing out damage. I don't know about you, but I would be happy with just walking around blowing things up with giant fireballs or some shit.

1 ReplyMaybe it will kind of work like the bioshock series

I hope it's that each class gets a set of abilities. The warlocks' abilities happen to be Magic.
-
magic balls will fly everywhere.

3 RepliesI'd imagine it works a little like Biotics in the Mass Effect trilogy, which would be awesome :D The ME class system was incredible.
-
Maybe in little things like a quick replenish of stamina or a watered down version of cloaking, or the ability to do overdrive. Having ally's donate their magic to sustain your life in deadly battles.

6 RepliesI hope they make magic very useful in this game. Not to the point of being OP. Spells that i want are. Fireball Blink (teleport a short distance in the direction you are facing.) Magic Barrier

2 RepliesI am going to be a Titan so I don't care
