[Suggestion] Spell and Skill Crafting

Firellight

Below is a list of how I'd like spell crafting to be like. Spells allow for lots of possibilities, with animated skins based on element and unlocked through various quests/skilltrees, etc. Skill crafting allows players to morph the existing skills however they like.

I didn't write down everything, and the information below requires a lot of troubleshooting. I mainly use a Templar, so I don't know all the types of effects to include, but here is what I got from the 1.6 patch notes.

AP is used to modify spells and skills. Ability Points. Players start off with 50 in spells and 50 in each skill tree.

Enjoy! Now to try out 1.6 on the PTS!
