Racial Spells
Is there any way to easily restrict spells by race?
Just restricting the race on the scroll item doesn't prevent a member of the correct class from scribing it into their spellbook.
I have two solutions, illustrated below. I don't like either one, because the first solution requires me to create an extra item and spell, and the other solution doesn't allow the spells to be droppable by NPCs.
For example, creating a "spell" specifically for Iksar Necromancers called "Test Spell 1", I would:
Create a new spell called "Test Spell 1", which deals 5 damage to a single target.
Create a new item called "Spell: Test Spell 1", which is no drop and scribes the spell "Test Spell 1" into your spell book.
Create a new spell called "Summon: Spell: Test Spell 1", which creates the item "Spell: Test Spell 1" on your cursor.
Create an new item called "Test Spell 1 Scroll Case", which is only equipable by IKS NEC, and has 1 charge of "Summon: Spell: Test Spell 1", usable on click if equipped.
Another option is to put NPCs around the world that will hand out an appropriate race/class spell as a result of handing them a specific item or amount of money. In this case, in response to being an IKS NEC who handed "Bob McTestington" 1 gold, the NPC would award you with the "Spell: Test Spell 1" item above.
In my perfect world, the custom racial spell items would just be droppable by NPCs and the scrolls themselves would be tradeable without having to use a equippable clicky item as a gatekeeper to gaining the spell.
