Kissing Magic
Added 2022-06-10 10:28:51 +0000 UTCI've been looking for an excuse to have the player character randomly smooch NPCs for a while, and a couple weeks ago I came up with the idea of "kissing magic," and this will be implemented in v0.13. The lore excuse is something about focusing her magic in her lips and kissing someone making them drop their guard. I’ll flesh it out, but the idea is you cast a spell and smooch someone to deliver it.
To save time, all of the spells coming in v0.13 are currently "reskinned" versions of potions, but I want to add some unique effects, too. I haven't exactly figured out how progression will work, but you won't get all the spell effects at once, you'll earn them over time or in sets.
In a future update, I may also add kissing magic to encounters, sort of like potions, but I'm not ready to commit to that quite yet.
Kissing magic "drains your energy," which means it makes you hungry, and you won't be able to use it if you're too hungry. I'm still balancing the costs, since “free” potion effects is a pretty powerful ability.
