This field is element. When a new member joins a forum, they often have not memorized the elements of all the magics in the shop, so when they learn they can only buy magics that match their element, they will most likely look for ones that share their element on the character application they recently completed.
I feel like having a magic tag on each thread in the magic shop would help organize things for not only new members, but also older ones. A few examples include:
- Fulmination is a word related to lightning, but it is not a common word that most people end up learning in their life. It would be rare for someone to guess that Fulmination is a lightning magic without opening the thread itself.
- Takeovers are the biggest example. While some are obvious, such as a Harpy being wind element, some are more obscure. Even if you were a diehard One Piece fan, it would be hard to match Leopard with Wind before opening the thread. This is made even worse with some of the demon souls, who are named after actual devils/gods, a good portion of which some people might not know.
- Greed magic is another good example, as people would have to put together that it's a reference to the Fullmetal Alchemist character before even guessing what the magic does, let alone the element.
If we were to add a magic tag to each thread, ideally it would look like this
One Element Magics:
Fulmination Magic [Price] [Lightning]
Multi Magics:
Hurricane Magic [Price] [Water + Wind]
Combined Magics:
Mud Magic [Price] [Water/Earth]
