ehem new class - Mystical Poet
mean to be a counter part to a bard. Where bard is melee-singer, Poet is a caster-speaker
Unique thing about Poet that he uses actual chatbox text to cast his spells - he simply speaks them out. The catch is, that it must rhyme to take effect.
For exmaple:
A spell to open locked door: "If you see your way is blocked, all you have to do is knock!" - will open a locked door in front of you.
A low level DD nuke - "You don't look so old, taste this lighting bolt!" - hits your target for 56 magical damage
Of course anyone could copy anyone else rhymes, but there are tricks - first of all - other player cannot understand what you saying , except other poets, who, as their skill in rhyming increases, will understand each other better.
Second, the game will rank certain words at certain difficulty levels - the more complex your sentence, the higher level it is (you won't be able to cast it if you don't meet min level/rhyme skill req), the more powerful effect it will have
And finally, the game keeps tracks of all the rhymes that have been already used, and the less often rhyme used, the more power it caries - so each Poet will struggle to continuously come up with their own unique rhymes, no other Poet can know, to be on top of their game.
Poets also get a bonus of knowing other races languages. For example knowing Dragon language greatly enhances power of their fire and magical nukes, while knowing Elder Tier'dal increases power of curses and poisons.
