RMMV Game mechanic idea

[NightOwlProductions420]

I am working on a sci-fi/fantasy game where you are the guardians of 4 spirits. Each character with their own elemental spirit. Fire, Thunder, Water, Earth.

This is my idea of a mechanic in the game. At level 10 you can chose one skill. Either Summon or Elemental form.

I also thought at level 20 you can combine elements by 2 characters casting at the same time.

Then near the end game you can combine all 4 to create light to defeat the darkness.

Any feedback welcom on this. Thank you

its a nice idea, but when you start, there come many changes in mechanics and achievements.

Like, do they just learn the skill, do they need to do a trial to obtain it, do they need to use
a specific skill over and over to learn something and learn how to combine?

the mechanic can call many questions, once the game is into motion, you need to see
what fits where and when.

But I like the concept.

Interesting. Couple questions:

1. What do you mean by summon? A powerful spell, or literally calling a summon to fight as a character on your team?
2. Is combining 2 elements creating another element like when you combine 4 elements?
3. Have you thought what elemental combinations will result in? I can see Fire + Earth = lava, but hard to imagine for other elements.

Besides, it might be a good idea, but it will be hard to implement if you don't know how to code.

Summon an acutual elemental spirit to fight for you. The combinations would be yes lava, but also Thunder + Water = Storm things like that. Now the elemtal form you will be able to turn it on for x rounds and you would have completely new skills.

EDIT 1
As for learning new skills there are 2 types Tech and Magic. We have spoken about magic in this thread. Those are given at specific levels as the "spirit" becomes stronger. At lol 10 you can choose either summon or form. At 20 you can choose specific combos.

EDIT 2
Fire + Thunder = Heat Wave
Water + Earth = sunomi (please excuse the spelling.
Thunder + Earth = Sandstorm

And so on
