A RimWorld of Magic
More Magical Themed Buildings?
So. I was thinking about buildings.
We have glyphs on the floor to cast powerful spells.
But what about, buildings that do smaller things, similar to tech things but that need to be fulled with mana?
Yeah, i know that there is the spells for fire and ice vortex to change room temperature.
Same with baterries but.
What about creating, maybe a addon-mod, focused on truly bringing to the game more uses for Magicyte?
Making permanent glyphs that works similar to the vortexes, but need to be refuelled with magic from time to time.
Maybe, a "Heat Inscription Oven" that works similar to the fueled oven but... needs mana to be channeled, and so on.

The idea is already there, with the mana storage devices, but adding more structures to actually allow us to make a "Magical" colony.
Maybe, with the ideology dyes, we could need "Magical Paint", using unrefined magicyte and the dye, to be able to inscribe glyphs. (Even the base glyphs already in the game for rituals, could use some of this Magical Dye?)
I know there's already an Arcane Forge but that's mainly for magical artifacts, but imagine a forge that works with mana, instead of eletricity or wood?
This could open up a whole new "energy" system!

The whole idea started with the mod Frostshard, that is little overpowered, but allows for a magical neolithic\medieval playthorughs more easliy, without forcing us to have a specific mage.

Also, for fighters, there could be training dummies, that only a martial class could use, that give them really small exp, but also give them recreation, same with a "Bookshelf" for wizards to read for fun and get small amounts of exp.
Or recreation games similar to Chess but.. Magical Chess that wizards can engage.
Like, things like those could be a great addon\expansion to the mod instead of only adding more and more classes.
Classes are awesome. Yes, but, having more things to interact with them would be even better!

Heck, i'm probably a minority here, but it would be cool if scrolls, needed a special parchment and magical ink to be inscribed.
Or even, change up a little how the scrolls\books\tomes work, and make "Learning a spell from a scroll" something that takes time, maybe done on a arcane research table\tactical training center, but "Using a scroll" a instant way to cast it, but burning the scroll, so you could have a wizard character that have a lots of weaker spells scrolls for versatility. And yeah, this is my DnD self talking.

I just think this mod is so freaking good, that it could expand way beyond more classes.

Again, love your mod, just wanted to drop this few ideas that stormed into my head after i found the "Frostshard" mod and thoguth "What if i had to have a magically gifted character fueling magic into it from time to time"
Heck, there could even be a way for non-magically gifted people to recharge it, with an item bought from caravans, like.. Essence of Mana! Or something like that.
Sorry, just got crazy with possibilities here.
