[Char] Wizard (Levi version)

[rewlf2]

Introduction
Wizard is one of the characters in the abandoned project LF2 extended.

The background on making Wizard is similar to Nino, Nino lacks weapon and some movement sprites, and Wizard lacks non-weapon attack sprites and all moves. Therefore I completed Wizard as a character who does not involve in fist fight (or as he claims) by conjuring objects and glyphs to fight for him.


Description
Wizard is an ice-based character who is unique in revolving about positioning with running to summon portals, and conjuring objects by consuming them. He has formidable moving speed but is weak in melee combat, but has powerful Crowd control and potentially very high area damage.

I intend to utilize the original sprites of Wizard as much as possible, so his moves and basic attacks generate glyphs, pure white for physical combat and gradient cyan for his spells.

Explanation of icicles made by Wizard (Click to View)

Icicles act differently from those made by Freeze:

1. They only last 2 seconds, may be less if portal is about to disappear
2. They cannot be destroyed other than contacting body of an enemy character
2b. Any energy disk-class object touching icicle will not dissipate either of object
2c. Any energy blast-class object touching icicle will be destroyed
2d. Attacking an icicle doesn't work
3. Growing icicle deals 60 damage to enemy in its position. Rarely two icicles will deal damage at the same time.
4. Existing icicle touching an enemy character even if frozen shatters the icicle, dealing 10 damage to enemy

are you reviving Lf2 extended back?or completing unfinished characters?

[rewlf2]

I'm finding some unfinished characters with potential and try to finish their work. This also helps in promoting their work in my creations.

While the style is not very similar to LF2, I think this character is good in your version and perhaps as a boss guest character in other versions.
