Oh. My. God. Two cookies. I must win this contest. Ha ha ha!

My entry is "Warden." Kinda like guardian, but different. I've never heard it used in a game, but if anyone has tell me (Not actually working on anything with summons in it right now, but meh).

Same goes for Chaos Nyte, and Cube...but let's face it...with my avatar, it'd be a pretty disturbing and original summon!!!

"Invoke Presence of:"

Well... I was actually referring to the list of them as a whole, like simply Summons or Espers. And 'Invoke Presence Of' has GOT to be an AD&D spell. Sounds like one, anyway. Might not be a basic one, but they sell all these extra spellbooks too... I don't know for sure, that just sounds like one.

If you can think of a phrase, it is in an AD&D book somewhere. I mean, there are like a million of them and they all have like a thousand pages.

And my entry could still work, I think.

Why steal or modify the system of another commercial game? Make your own unique system instead. Your game will be better off if you do.

I'd laugh if I ever saw an OHR game with materia in it. That would just be pathetic (unless they were for some reason making an FF7 fan game).

But if I saw anyone use magicite, ooooooh, they'd be in for such a stabbing. That's one game that you just don't steal from. I mean, that's like stealing from the Pope. You just don't do it.

*Adds 'Steal Pope's Hat' to 'To Do' list*

But yes, materia would be incredibly pointless in the OHR unless you wanted to do a LOT of scripting. Even then, it wouldn't turn out too good...

I once was considerng doing an FFVII fangame, back in my early days of RPG-playing. It would've had materia and everything. Then I realized that it was a stupid idea that would take way too much effort and probably not turn out too well. So the project was scrapped.
I think I still have an RPG file called "FFVII OHR" on my old computer. Of course, that was as far as the project got: a name. I don't think I created a single graphic or character or even item.

*Sigh*
Never put something from another person's game in your own, unless it was preplanned when you were actually designing the game, before you started actually creating it. If you're adding something, it shouldn't just be for fun. It should have some purpose that MAKES SENSE in your game. So, don't have Cloud just pop up and fight with you for no reason. A good example of a game with proper cameo use would be Moon Pie... I don't know if it's still on the gamelist or not. If I recall, there was a map that was supposed to be a ripoff of that bridge in Chrono Trigger, and the game happened to have Chrono there.

... Uh, got off-topic there.
My point was: don't use cameos if you don't know what you're doing, and BE ORIGINAL, that leads to great ideas like the four elements in Lolsidothaldremobine.

Eh... what WERE the four elements? I don't think I ever got very far in that game...

Hey! I never said I was putting materia in my RPG! My system isn't even remotely similar to materia in any way. The name just sounds appropriate for the system I currently use.

My system is more similar to FFV's system where you buy your magic and stuff.
