I'm new to Byond, so I've been reading the tutorials and trying to mess around with them. what I want this to do is simple, make objects that increase stats. It does. Over and over. The player can choose to 'wield' as many times as he wants. Any solutions or maybe a better way to code this?:

thank you it worked. i have 1 more question. i've been looking around and haven't seen a magic system. any ideas where i could find an example of 1?

Magic is very general, you could do anything with it. You likely won't find an example unless you get very specific with what you want.

i suppose i want a verbal spell system, where you input a name for the spell to happen. I'll try an example.

mob/spell
    spellname
        type = FIRE
        damage = 25
        class = mage
        area of effect?

like i said, im new at this. any ideas?

You need to manage what the player has to type to make the spell happen. Whenever they do, trigger the spell. Give spells a fire() proc or something of the sorts.

you can use some libraries of projectiles, beams and other. you can look here http://www.byond.com/developer/?text=beam&sort=pop
