Title: Need better names for few abilities
Post by: Aeroblyctos on June 11, 2011, 04:46:43 am
Hi!

The spells are for the third esper, Nyrxz.


Triple Lightning

Casts a powerful thunder from the sky that damages and stuns the target for 2 seconds. The lightning also spreads to 2 nearby enemies with half effect.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thunder Bolt

Casts forth a lightning ball that damages enemies it touches. When the ball has reached it's destination it bounces back towards Nyrxz.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Electry Shield

Creates a lightning shield around Nyrxz that increases his armor by 10. Every attack to Nyrxz will decrease armor's bonus by 1.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lightning Shield
Every attack by Nyrxz gives one lightning ball that rotates around Nyrxz. When the eleventh ball is activated a lightning blast will occur dealing damage to enemies around and stunning them for 2 seconds.

Triple Lighting -> Lighting Thunder God
Thunder Bolt -> Maeltroms
I think Meltroms is for water spells but i saw it in many games and used as powerful thunder spells. The others 2, idk :D

Maelstrom doesn't seem to fit, though...
Maybe Triple Lightning -> High Voltage
Lightning Shield -> Electron Charge

I didnt read the description of the spells though. Maybe Aero wants some super awesome names, so i just put all the names i can think here and he can choose what he wants for whichever spells:
Lighting Thunder God, Maeltroms, Judgement Bolt, Rolling Thunder, Lighting Vortex...
For those "Lighting Shield" things, i cant really think of any name, maybe those are best names available...

Of course the name must somehow be connected to the spell idea.

"Lighting Thunder God" don't like that
"Maeltroms" naah
"High Voltage" well this is better but it doesn't actually refer to anything
"Electron Charge" this is okay
"Judgement Bolt" sounds cool
...

HEY! Let's go with theme "judgement", "justice" and "order" from this moment on.

Judgement Bolt
Bolt of Justice
Order

I don't see a reason how could the 'judgement, justice and order' theme would work with Lightning-based abilities.

Just an idea, nothing more.
Title: Re: Need better names for few abilities
Post by: Pourquoi on June 13, 2011, 09:49:31 am
So what should we do now?
Title: Re: Need better names for few abilities
Post by: Aeroblyctos on June 14, 2011, 03:57:29 am
I'm not sure. Hmm.

Well that theme idea came when I was a little but drunk so let's forget that and continue with our lightning theme!  ;D

Triple Lightning => Judgement Bolt
Thunder Bolt => ???
Electry Shield => ???
Lightning Shield => ???
Title: Re: Need better names for few abilities
Post by: [H]ell[H]eaven on June 14, 2011, 04:51:42 am
Triple Lightning => Lighting Vortex
Thunder Bolt => Judgement Bolt
Electry Shield =>  :o
Lightning Shield =>  :o

The "... Shield" are really hard to name
Spoiler (hover to show)
Title: Re: Need better names for few abilities
Post by: Pourquoi on June 14, 2011, 06:15:48 am
Electry Shield -> Warp Armour
Triple Lightning -> Electrical Storm
Lightning Shield -> Nova Charge
What do you think Aero?
Title: Re: Need better names for few abilities
Post by: Aeroblyctos on June 14, 2011, 06:44:46 am
Triple Lightning => ???
Thunder Bolt => Judgement Bolt
Electry Shield => Warm Armor(not sure about this one yet)
Lightning Shield => Nova Charge

Still need a good name for Triple Lightning and I'm not sure about Electry Shield.

I meant Warp, not Warm Armour!

What about 'Tempest'? 'Starburst'?
Or simply 'Chain Lightning'...
Title: Re: Need better names for few abilities
Post by: Aeroblyctos on June 14, 2011, 10:28:03 am
Yeah just a typo.

Can't be Tempest because it's a simple lightning spell. And starburst... Noo.

Also chain lightning is used too much. Something better...

how about blasting light :)
Title: Re: Need better names for few abilities
Post by: Pourquoi on June 14, 2011, 09:50:31 pm
What about 'Soaring Punch'? 'Lightning Flash'?
Title: Re: Need better names for few abilities
Post by: Aeroblyctos on June 15, 2011, 04:25:25 am
how about blasting light :)

Well that idea is kind of average. It doesn't much tell the spell is lightning/thunder type.  :(

What about 'Soaring Punch'? 'Lightning Flash'?

Soaring Punch is not good for this and Lightning Flash is like a teleportation ability...  :-[

Triple Lightning => ???
Thunder Bolt => Judgement Bolt
Electry Shield => Warp Armor
Lightning Shield => Nova Charge


Ahh, and also if there are any problems with the descriptions please fix.

How about 'Energy Surge'? 'Forked Lightning'?
Title: Re: Need better names for few abilities
Post by: Aeroblyctos on June 15, 2011, 06:02:15 am
Yea Energy Surge is fine.

This is our result:


Triple Lightning => Energy Surge
Thunder Bolt => Judgement Bolt
Electry Shield => Warp Armor
Lightning Shield => Nova Charge

What do you think, guys?
Title: Re: Need better names for few abilities
Post by: Pourquoi on June 15, 2011, 10:03:50 am
Judgement Bolt, though sounds awesome, isn't quite fitting.
Title: Re: Need better names for few abilities
Post by: Aeroblyctos on June 15, 2011, 11:12:05 am
So what name should replace it?
Title: Re: Need better names for few abilities
Post by: Pourquoi on June 15, 2011, 10:15:41 pm
Ball Lightning, Electrobolt and Charged Bolt are the most fitting names I could think about.
Thunder Hammer could also work, if you can change the projectile model.
Title: Re: Need better names for few abilities
Post by: Aeroblyctos on June 16, 2011, 06:48:36 am
Electrobolt!

Triple Lightning => Energy Surge
Thunder Bolt => Electrobolt
Electry Shield => Warp Armor
Lightning Shield => Nova Charge

How does this feel?

Lightning Trident... How about Forked Lightning/Forking Shocker?
Title: Re: Need better names for few abilities
Post by: Aeroblyctos on June 20, 2011, 12:13:39 pm
Actually it's three separate lightnings so it can't be trident or forked.

So hmm... That ability still needs a better name.  >:(
Title: Re: Need better names for few abilities
Post by: Pourquoi on June 20, 2011, 10:04:00 pm
Energy Surge not good enough?
Title: Re: Need better names for few abilities
