[Role Playing Game] ideas for spells (maybe?) when hero evolves into a superior state

[Nordmar]

In my RPG, heroes can use an ability go transform themselves into a stronger version of them. Of course I don't want to use the abilities as before anymore.

I could just take the abilities andmake them stronger but ..
1) that's boring
2) my spells are quite good balanced so making them stronger just ruins the game..even when just for a short period.

So what could I add to the hero to make the superior change .. interesting ?

Thank you

Make the abilities stronger but increase the mana cost as well.

That's balanced.

Well it's impossible to give you ideas without knowing either theme nor lore.

Ideas for a magic user while super mode is on: no mana, no cooldown, spells get cast twice, single-target spells deal splash damage...

Name your spells "Hadoken" or "Kamehameha" and add the sound files to play when the spell is cast.







...
what?

Man, stop trolling Zwiebelchen. I see you trolling way too much

And I know it's hard. I know my map and still have no ideas ...

But you didn't give us anywhere to start? How can we give you suggestions when we have no idea what to suggest?

He's a cute wittle troll bear which only seems to troll when there isn't much information given when advice is requested. It really would help to know more about your map, how it works, or what you're capable of.

But as a general method of making abilities seem more powerful with dummy casters, you could add different effects to the abilities. For example, a single target damaging spell now explodes to deal light damage to enemies surrounding the primary target. An AoE damage over time ability now additionally reduces enemy accuracy as well as dealing damage.

To keep these abilities balanced, you could add high risk; high reward to them. An example could be a buff that heavily increases movement speed and damage will gradually deplete HP when active. This requires more upkeep for more power. An example for a defensive spell is greatly increased armor or HP regen at the cost of movement speed. And for an attack, maybe a more powerful targeting ability has a chance to recoil and deal damage to the caster. AoE abilities with special debuff effects can also affect the caster if they're within the targeting radius.

Explosions and beer. Like, everyone starts throwing explosions that turns into beer when in their godmode avatar form.

Thats what you should do. And then everyone should have their own private bear. Private bear johnson he should be called. Then you and johnson can drink beer and watch explosions together.
