Reroll option that costs mana

[nvs]

There need to be more mana costing abilities on the builder. This would be an interesting one.

[3:32 PM] NVS: The idea was to add more opportunity cost for what ability you use
[3:33 PM] NVS: I do like the idea of some sort of reroll option more than options that let you keep more than a single gem at a time
[3:33 PM] NVS: You see the types for a one-hit you'd love? Reroll the qualities of that round
[3:34 PM] NVS: You've got 3x Topaz of varying qualities? Reroll and hope for Perfects

If you enable 2 gems per round then this is absolute but how about 2 mana regenerated after a round to swap towers?

Both the cost of builder based abilities and mana regeneration can be changed down the line. I want more builder based abilities. The question is what.

1) The ability to blink would be handy and some players may utilize this more than me. 2) Is it possible to create the ability so that the Shaman builder can Dance when clicked as Heroes in World of WarCraft do that is kind of similar to an emote for a Heroin Dota 2? I think it would be unique if you understand. 3) One of the Natural Occurring Abilities of the Shaman unit in WarCraft III is Bloodlust. I reckon using this ability that can be used to empower a Tower so that the Tower can attack a bit faster and units affected by bloodlust grows bigger so maybe the tower can also follow suite but still your decision for I don't know if a grown Tower will affect pathing but may look cool if balanced! 4) In StarCraft, the unique builders to start with has the ability to create advanced structures that are only available upon some requirement. Using this ability when selected before the 1st placement of gems one can change the style of mazing rocks that would be seen as mazing rocks. Can the variety of Mazing rocks to choose from be unlocked by achievement that saves somehow? I think Earning them is rewarding and it gives purpose to play even more, well for me. 5) Keep in mind I hope that there can be the ability to choose different mazing rocks from the ability named let's say "Rock Chooser" or whatever you name it but hopefully unlocked by achievement only. Here Advance Structures can now be utilized to place Gems that utilizing recalling you wanted a purpose for "food" so let food be gained to an amount (X) after each round or after a certain amount of rounds (Y) that will be used to build new Tower types but this should only be accessible I'm thinking after the last Gem Quality Upgrade for here you can utilize the number of food gained to the number of advanced towers one can build which is similar to the Shaman gaining mana per round an amount of food can be gained but here you can twist to your desire, check? Appreciating the original Towers of Gem TD here you get to implement "NVS" Gems to build Towers that are built with food gained that can only be accessed after the last Gem Quality Upgrade making it like an upgrade that can only be accessed after something is researched in StarCraft or even WarCraft. Seeing that Food can be utilized here if you agree/consider how much food is used upon Gem placement is all you by the number of gems you decide to be placed or would it be also 5 but here can players also get to place the 5 normal gems also would be nice! So all you! 6) Can an ability toggle rain on/off on the player area only? If so well when last did you play in the rain much less cry LOL but can a command be -rain or the command be integrated to be toggled through an ability that causes rain to fall in the player area only.

@GaDaHo

Again, try to stay on topic. I thought it was fairly clear that the type of mana costing abilities I'm looking for are directly related to gem selection and luck. In particular, in the current system. This particular issue is related to a single ability that rerolls the currently offered gems. Another ability (in a different issue) would allow keeping two gems in a single round. Neither may make it into the map.

But I want on topic discussion. Period. I don't need a thousand ideas where pretty much I only want discussion related to an ability that rerolls the gems you were given. It only makes it harder. If you have new ideas, make a new issue that seems appropriate. DO NOT hijack an existing issue like you've been doing a lot. I will simply hide or delete your comments if they are not on topic. Regardless of the content.
