Submission:
All spells must be submitted to the
Resource Database with the prefix [SPELL11]. The spells must be submitted in some legible and dignified format and will remain in the submissions section. Upon completion of the spell session, the winner's spell will be automatically moved to the database and the rest of the spells will be reviewed like typical spell resource submissions. Users are encouraged to review the spells that are submitted early and moderators are as well, but they should not be approved regardless of quality until the spell session ends.
Theme:Cinematic Spells (Epic Ultimates/Finishers)
- The spell must have a sense of finality and epicness to it.
- The spell must be fully contained in the code and not have obscene requirements. (AKA: a dummy unit is fine, a chunk of terrain for a visual effect is not)
- The spell must not use cinematic mode or any form of camera restrictions.
The theme of this contest is to make a spell that a character in a cinematic might use as a 'finishing blow' on an enemy. Mortal Kombat players will immediately think of fatalities and let me tell you, this is your time to make that epic fatality for WC3. Cinematic spells must have a strong degree of finality to them. The only requirement for the spell is that it must be epic. If this is at all vague, go play Final Fantasy 7 and use some limit breaks or whatever they were called. If there's still any confusion regarding this, feel free to PM me any spell ideas you have and I'll tell you if they're 'epic' enough. I have a hunch it won't be that difficult to tell, though!
Deadline:
The session ends at 23:59 GMT-5: July 9, 2008.
Potential extensions are possible if lots of people need them.
Future Themes:
If you have ideas for future themes for spell sessions, please PM them to
myself. This is the last theme I had in my stockpile, so I'll have to either use some crappier themes (Elements) or think a lot in my spare time. Regardless, if you have some cool technical-type themes that you'd like to see, send me a PM and we'll see if they'll work!
This is mostly here for some fun times as we await the end of the second hero contest and before we introduce any other large contests. I'm pretty excited for this contest, though, since I really think the theme will generate some awesome entries. (Show off that creativity!)
Anyways, let's make this session a successful one! Good luck everybody!
