[Discussion] Curiosity of life - How is the process of spell/skill creation in a game?

[old]

Ok, here, in war 3 WE, when we create our spells, we make it all alone, using wc3 effects and mechanics to make it, but my question here is: How does it work in a GAME DEV process the skill/spells creation?
1 - Everyone in development process gather in a room and make everybody togheter?
2 - One guy have the idea of a spell, how does he show to his colleagues what he want?
3 - If tank-commander wants to create Helios Collision in a game dev process, how does he make sure that the Devs will make it right? He draws in a paper? (like stages creation in dev process, yes, to create stages in game development process first it's drawn in a paper).
4 - A game like DC universe online or lol that you have more than 100 spells and you need to divide de functions (Example: DC universe online one team is responsable for the Fire spells, other one is for Earth, other ice, etc), how to make sure that producer's or director's wishes will be surely done?

I didn't find a good forum to ask this, this was the better place to ask i found.

Each company has a different work environment and might respond differently to the very same question.

Speaking as someone entirely external to that field...

I believe, aside from the old standbys that *everyone* uses (conversations, sketching on paper/whiteboard, etc), that each company/team has its own proprietary software it can use to start "building" the game.
Heck, some companies even design that software themselves, "in-house". You can do *anything* with programming.
