I think it's intended that spell cost is by the program, not the trick.

I know this will probably require a slight revamp of the spell system.
However, I do feel that this is a neccesary evil. Can we make it so
Psi-energy is only taken once an actual Trick is fired, so you can make
passive spells with leggings and loopcast bullets. I do not think that this
feature would be so-called OP in any way, i just think it would make us be
more creative in spell creation and make actual useful spells in leggings
and such

also....requests don't go on github I thought :P

never explicitly specified for Psi.

balance > player freedom

that... removes balance..? do you know what balance is?

@Vazkii can you close this before @seblund makes more of a fool of themselves

what? no it doesn't

it's a blatant unbalancing act, and would require hours of work (at least, for me it would) to do. not worth it.

My only point was that it feels unsatisfying to cast a spell that does nothing, and still have to pay for it. I do not know if it is balanceable. To me Psi is about creativity and fun, and this "feature" removes some of that.

yeah, you have to design around the restrictions you have. Do you complain about getting tired from sitting around in real life?

Who gets tired from sitting around? :)

humans.
