Inspired by the anime and light novel series The Rising Of The Shield Hero, this addon let the player gain power through the means of stats, levels, and weapons. You can become a Cardinal Hero( Shield, Spear, Sword, Bow ), which allows for you gain skills and unqiue weapon forms with their own unquie abilites. For Forge (Runs on Palladium!)

IMPORTANT: Set graphics to fast to avoid getting a black screen when in menues!

The only vanilla way currently to become a Cardinal Hero is to find The Record of The Four Holy Heroes book in a library and read it.

How to Unlock New Weapon Forms/Skill and How to use them:

All you need to do is hold a item in your offhand with your weapon equipped and pressed the absorb button. if you have enough of the material in your weapons inventory and you met the level requirement it will unlock and you can change to it by saying "(Weapon Name)!". some weapon forms need you to have other forms unlocked first before you can unlock the other ones. you can get skills from differant weapon forms or from reaching certain milestones like being level 5 or defeating a wave boss. to use a skill say "(Skill Name)!".(skills are currently still a Wip)

Status Magic:

status magic is something that every living entity has and binds them to the rules of the status magic system( Levels, Exp, Parties, Stats, ect). Heroes interact with this system the most with them not being able to use anything other then their chosen weapon for attacking/defening. they can also not leave their dimension without permisson. you can party up with others to share exp gains from kills.

Leveling and Stats:

You can level up by killing natural spawn monsters, with the xp they give determined by their stats and your stats. The main stats are HP(health), MP(magic power), [HERO ONLY]SP(soul power), Atk(attack), MAtk(Magic), Def(defense), MDef(magic defense), Agi(agility), Str(strength). These stats increase each time you level with how much each one increases depending on your class.

Dragon Hourglasses and Class Ups:

dragon hourglasses currently spawn in mountain and underwater biomes. they count down the time till the next wave(not implement yet), allow heroes to pull items out of their inventories, and are need to class up or level reset.

Power Up Methods:

Power up methods are ways heroes can empower themselves and other. heroes all have their own power up methods from the start with cardinals having 3 and vassals having 1. The shield hero has Sharing, Trust, and Energy Boost. The spear hero has Refinement, Spirit Enchant, and Status Enchant. The sword hero has Mastery, Energy Transfer, and Rarity Increase. The bow hero has Reinforcement, Job Level, and Item Enchant. there are currently 2 power up that work with 20 planned(for now). description on how they work will be added when they are released.

Mastery: actively using a weapon form once its abilites are unlocked will increase it mastery until it reaches 100%. the weapon form stats will increase depending on the amount of mastery. (not implement yet)mastery can be reset, turning that mastery into energy points that go into your energy pool that is shared with other methods

Sharing: you can always share power up methods with others but knowing that its a method increase all powers up methods efficiency.
