====== Spell System Overview for New Spells in DS1 ======
Authors: George/King Bore Haha

===== Parameters for spell item and attunement =====
  * [[ds1-refmat:param:Magic]] for basic spell information
  * [[ds1-refmat:param:EquipParamGoods]] for spell item information
  * [[ds1-refmat:param:ShopLineupParam]] for attunement
  * [[ds1-refmat:param:EquipMtrlSetParam]] for attunement

===== Parameters that determine what a spell does =====
  * [[ds1-refmat:param:Bullet]] for projectiles
  * [[ds1-refmat:param:SpEffectParam]] for other effects

===== Other Systems =====
  * [[format:FMG]] is used for text data. Spells require modifying the text data files for magic names, magic descriptions, and item names.
  * [[format:TPF]] is used for icons.
  * [[format:EMEVD]] is used to make the attunement menu appear at bonfires only after you own a spell.

===== Workflow =====
Create new IDs for Magic, EquipParamGoods, EquipMtrlSetParam. They should all have the same ID, and it's recommended you pick an ID between 3000 and 5910, which is the vanilla range of IDs. This tutorial will be referring to this ID as the "Basic Spell ID" for convenience. It's also recommended you duplicate pre-existing spellIDs used for other spells, as many fields will be identical.

==== EquipMtrlSetParam ====
Field ''materialId01'' should be the Basic Spell ID.
''itemNum01'' should be 1

==== ShopLineupParam ====
The ID should be within the 10000-10099 range, as this is the range defined in [[[ds1-refmat:ds1-vanilla-shops | Bonfire talkESD shop ranges]] (this can be modified if you want a higher range).
''mtrlId'' should be the Basic Spell ID.
''shopType'' should be 2.
''equipType'' should be 4.

==== EquipParamGoods ====
''magicId'' should be the Basic Spell ID.
''goodsType'' should be 5.

==== Magic ====
Determines most basic information about the spell, so many fields need to be modified.
The most important fields are ''refCategory'' and ''RefID'', which determine which [[param:Bullet]] or [[param:SpEffectParam]] to use for a spell's actual effects.

==== Bullet or SpEffectParam ====
Determines actual spell effects, so many fields need to be modified.

==== FMG text data ====
The following text types need an entry, with the ID being the same as the Basic Spell ID:
Magic names, magic descriptions, and goods names.

==== EMEVD map events ====
Event 719 in common.emevd should be modified to include a new check for ID of spell. This event is used to make the attunement menu appear only after the player has obtained at least 1 spell.
