Battle Design Options

Okay, so we have a sort of reactive system, where enemies try to guess moves and play strategically (according to their type, more strategically as the game goes on). And we have a counterspell system. And we have an elements system:

Melee
Ranged
(Some things like ghosts are completely immune to both physical, and flying things are probably immune to melee and earth)
Fire
Water
Thunder
Ice
Earth
Air
Light
Dark
(At least)

There should also be all kinds of strategies for bosses, including some puzzle bosses. Ummm let's see... VX has TP, but I think you can turn it off, at least in ACE. Do we want TP system?

Yea, there should be some way both to push the shelf and to read the books.

Books on a shelf are usually best as the following:

(Title/Brief description)

Read?

Y/N

Books in rpgs should also be summaries, about the length of a children's story, even if it's a historical account. You can use also characters to sum up long details, and skip pages. And children's stories should be even shorter, but so freaking sappy they auto-tearjerk any ounce of feeling from you.

Mirror puzzle could probably be something like wandering around in circles, and if you turn the wrong corner you get warped space (teleport back and forth alot, and string together a few maps). You might be able to do things like walk through a mirror to proceed, or there might be situations where you have to get the mirror image to move a certain way by moving away. Or outrun your mirror image somehow.
