This is script that I found, that allows you to equip magical crystals that provide different magical types and skills. Each character has an Orb Level, and as you progress through the game, you gain levels, which allow you to equip more crystals.
When you place two crystals next to each other, there's a chance that the magic will combine and give the character access to a duel-type magic skill. I originally got really excited over this feature and based nearly every skill off of placing certain crystals next to each other. I later decided to not do this. I think I'll use this feature by creating an "amplifying" crystal, which will enhance the abilities of the crystals that it is next to.
I've spent the better part of today coming up with different shards and the abilities that go with them. I also came up with the rarity of each shard, the price, shard type, and magic type of the abilities themselves. This took me a lot longer than I thought it would, but I finally worked out enough to allow the player to have fun in customizing their character. I can always add more at a later time, if need be.
The shard rarities go like this: Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Legendary. Common shards can be found in chests and bought in stores. Uncommon shards can sometimes be found in chests and perhaps bought in stores at a later point in the game. Rare shards can only be found in chests, and will never appear in a store, unless it's part of a plot device. Sometimes you might be rewarded one by defeating a boss. Legendary shards are one of a kind, and can only be acquired through the completion of special jobs.
