So this is an update of the afore mentioned IT related RPG I am making. I have settled on the title "Lords of Bullshit: a tale of corporate incompetence".

I need some ideas guys. I have Java, C, Python, PHP, bash and git as skill types, but I need spells for each.

For example in C I have malloc and dealloc as spells (revive and death spells).

I am having trouble with Java spells. I am trying to come up with things that focus on OOP or reflection and meta programming, but I am having trouble.

Any ideas? Also, anyone want to help with some sprites? All of the sprites the character generator can make are medieval looking.

    @deadlyRants oooo! I could have a spell that sends the enemy out of scope and then I cast garbage collector. Any enemy with the out of scope status dies.

    And these spells would only work if the enemy has the Java elemental type.

    for python you could use import to summon things and weapons. for example:
    > import flask
    You summoned a flask.

    How about a `foreach` loop in php that exceeds the memory limit?

    I'm thinking a polymorphism spell that turns enemies into sheep like Warcraft.

    How about an infinite loop spell that freezes enemies and makes them unable to attack back?

    Or some self modifying code spell that acts like poison or curse where the enemy loses HP over time or hurts his fellows?

    It's is clear I need to create a wiki.

    I also need weapon ideas. Right now I have laptops, books, cell phones, coffee mugs, and office supplies.

    Each imparts abilities. All programming magic requires a laptop be equipped, new languages (skill trees) can only be learned while a book is equipped, cell phones allow you to call help desk (recover HP and status effects) and run low level scripts, coffee mugs give you the ability to create coffee, and office supplies have special abilities.

    I also have a manager class that randomly leaves battles early with a random excuse.

    For gear you could add like a HTC Vive or something, that reveals enemy stats maybe?
