Man oh man. I figured how you could do some magical stuff.

You could use the pistol animation thingy from vanilla, and you have this little fireball shaped thingy as a missile, and a glove thingy as the weapon (you can position where the glove is so that it looks like it's on the hand, right?) The projectile would be sitting at the end of the glove, basically at your fingertips, and it would appear as if it were just, ya know, flying away towards the enemy. It would be awesome.
You could also make an icesicle kind of thing which does uber pierce damage.
You would have different gloves that would fire different types of projectiles (light/dark magic)
There would be a large variety of light magic and dark magic gloves, and the light ones would be able to fire, obviously, only light magic "spells" (which would replace Arrows) and the dark ones would fire dark magic "spells" (which would replace Bolts)
Seeing as how you couldn't really heal some one on your team by shooting them with a "weapon"... healing spells are out of the question.
Dark magic would focus more on power than accuracy, and the opposite could be said for the light magic. Accuracy over power.
Other balancing things could be figured in.
Thats a good idea but the glove thing is abit hard
here's what I've had in mind for magic when i started this mod..
I already made a basic 'fireball' its a normal throwing weapon ,but it 'hovers' on your hand..
there would be ranks in magic atack , so it would be fire-ball -> meteor
Its cool that it hovers and all but without smoke effects its a bit wierd
I was going to do a blizzard atack, Basicly a spear-formed ice stick thing, that again hovers on your hand, with javelin animation..
I dont know how i can add paticle effects on a normal weapon (similar to the gun's smoke)
but if somebody does, please explain it to me

Accualy thats possible, janus told me its possible a while ago, but I dont know how to do it though.
@ noirbass, Wow if that is you're first weapon, you must have talent..
If you think you're up too modeling for fantasy mod let me know
I can use any kind of assistance
For practise, I suggest trying a new sword from scratch, since that is what we all do most of the times (well I do al models from scratch anyway)
then you could move on in my tutorial and try a helmet

Thanks for that link, I'll take the best one of that site and replace it with mine.
