No one's mentioned this yet but I donGÇÖt see why a sci fi game cant have some magic like in Highlander or the whole warhammer 40,000 thing.
I had a few ideas for this but wanted to start with my more sensible ideas like a resurrection spell instead of nanite injectors.
Not replacing the injector or anything but like another option or way of doing things.
or a spell that lets you fly short distances to make up for the lack of ladders in he maps.
Anyone else got some great ideas for how we could implement magic into dust ?

Well, just because magic has never been expanded upon in the game, doesn't mean it couldn't happen. Who knows, there could be some wiccans hiding out on some of the planets :P In all seriousness though, I don't think magic will ever find a place in Dust, at least not in normal matches.
Perhaps when gladiator matches are introduced, there could be some type of "virtual reality" implemented, that could bring the use of fireballs or frost. I'm not sure I would be a fan of this, but it could add an interesting element to gameplay. People are fascinated by magic now, why wouldn't they be in the future? |

You'd have a lot of EVE players going WTF....
I just don't see it at all, I mean I don't want to rag on you for a suggestion that was given with honest intent, but a lot of people are going to look at this post and think your trolling just because it has NO PLACE WHATSOEVER in EVE lore...
Any sufficiently superior technology is interpreted as magic, if you want magic look to sleeper tech we don't understand that's the closest thing you'll get... Besides someone hurling fireballs doesn't come close to someone hurling thermonuclear artillery... And frost attacks would be raped by the guy with the 2,000 mph electromagnetically charged railgun rods... The guy waving his hands casting incantations would likely be pissed when a logi guy ran up mid casting and stuck the guy with a nanite needle in a split second reviving him and putting them both back in the fight... Flying? Well it may or may not happen, but, god forbid jetpacks are introduced, and then your wandering mage is once again outperformed... To put it simply any magic that DID develop would be relatively rudimentary and weak compared to any of the technology that already exists, and would mostly be for DEV lol's if anything... |

The only race who see "magic" in New Eden is the Amarr, and that's only because they are bat **** crazy religious fanatics.
Edit: Well, most of them at any rate  |

I think this thread probably would have gotten more thoughtful responses with a different title, as several of these posts are clearly knee-jerk reactions.
[spoilers]
In the novel EVE: The Empyrean Age, when the Broker needs to impersonate Admiral Noir, he ambushes the elderly admiral in his bedroom and releases from an arm mounted device a swarm of nanites that dissolve him into a puddle of paste.
[/spoilers]
Technology such as that is what I think the OP is getting at here. Not "CAST SPELS" but technology that operates in a somewhat fanciful manner. |

what's the saying? "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic?" how many ancient races are there in EVE? |

All races in New Eden are human descendants. Even the sleepers and the Jovians. Though the Sleepers we've seen so far are are mechanical rather than biological |

It is explained as quantum fluid connections on the genetic level with a set group of around six people. Read Dust 514 for a more detailed explanation. |

3/10 troll post. Sounded sincere enough, but the stars of new eden hold magic enough without introducing spell systems & enchanting into the game. |
