great spell idea: "present for you" (or some variant)

this is kind of an expansion on the false alarm idea but i think it's different enough to make a thread for it

basically when you choose this spell on a post you put a nice happy gift box on it, probably under their user info, that the receiver can either choose to open or decline

when you choose the actual spell you do one of two things:

A) put some exp in it so they pop open the gift and get an exp boost (a really fancy donation, pretty much)

or

B) put another spell inside of it

stuff like autocorrect may not work but you can nicely gift wrap a Great Sh*t button or maybe they open the box and ink spills all over their post

the target doesn't get knockback exp from the initial present, but they get knockback from spells placed inside the box. maybe a little extra because the caster spent a little extra to giftwrap it

if the target chooses to decline the gift they get shown a window that shows what was in the gift box and the caster is notified that their gift was declined. they suffer no further exp loss but maybe the target refunds them part of the cost of the gift because it's not polite to decline gifts? that may be too mean though

in order to prevent people from only claiming exp donations, the caster's exp should only drain for the gift box at first and then drain further when the gift is opened

how do you handle people casting the spell that's in in the present while the present is there? does the caster just get a refund and the present removed? i mean you can't just say that the spell has already been cast because that would reveal what's in the present.

i feel like this spell would be better if it was the only way to donate. maybe get rid of the donate button and just make it so that giftwrapping exp is the only way to donate?

I like this idea because donations are kind of OP currently. Especially once we have classes with various perks, if you can just donate exp to your friend in another class and have them cast a spell for you, it's kind of cheap

i'd be cool with removing donations in their current form and making giftwrap the way to go

the spell just turns into a donation for the full cost of the spell instead of just the knockback exp instead

at least i think that sounds interesting


also if you remove current donations how would lottobot work

Lottobot would have to be a special circumstance. It wouldn't be hard to enable the current donation form for Lottobot only (maybe for a class too, like Healers)

I don't want any changes to the donation functionality, seeing as I'm the only one who actually used it

Yeah I like how it adds an element of risk to swapping EXP, you could get a payout or you could just unleash hell on your post
