Feature Request: Ability to Exchange Spells

All too many times, players find themselves in situations where they have a spell they don't need. Maybe a left-over spell from farming, or their war target changed and they need 1 or more spells other than those they have currently made.

Due to the high cost and extremely long creation time, it would be nice if players had some way to redeem some of the cost. One might argue that certain troops are costly and take a long time to build, so why make an exception for spells? Simply because troops can be donated to other players, and now with clan perks, be refunded a certain % of the troop cost.

My proposal: Allow a player(within their own spell factory), to swap an already made spell for a different spell. If the new spell cost more and takes longer to build, they pay the difference in cost and wait the difference in time for the spell to be ready. If the spell cost less and takes less time to build, they receive the spell immediately, and the difference in cost is lost.

This would prevent players from having to throw away spells, at a complete waste of time and resources, to purchase completely new spells and wait on creation time again.

Just to clarify, this has nothing to do with donating spells to other players.

You didn't think this through did you?

How about providing constructive criticism instead of useless replies?

It was a useful reply. This is just a bad idea. If you want a spell, make it. :facepalm:

I guess its not a HORRIBLE idea but I'd like to know more about it, like how will th 5's and th 10's trading spells work out? Will it possibly be abused to help win wars (like trading a lvl 1 lightning spell for a lvl 5 rage spell)? It may just not be that good, their would have to be some/many restrictions.

Sorry, I think some of you may have misunderstood my intentions. This would not be to trade spells with other players, but to swap an already made spell(within your spell factory) for one you need more.

I will edit OP, to clarify.

Explain to me how, trading a spell you already spent 30k+ elixir and 45 minutes making(but no longer need), for a spell you do need is a bad idea?

I guess going into single player real quick, dropping the spell on the ground, then waiting 45 minutes for the spell you do need, is a much better solution?

This is a great idea. Ignore the morons that can't comprehend what you said. So many times I end up dumping spells in a goblin village I've already 3 starred just to make room for new spells because my shield is up and I don't want to lose it...

Thanks bonesaw13!

I don't see why not and it could save a lot of time than waiting and sitting for almost 30 minutes or so. But I think just make what you need to avoid the situation. But either way, I support the idea.

I personally think this is a good idea. I among with probably everybody else, had to waste a spell because i didnt need it but needed to make room for a different spell. Being able to exchange it/pay the difference for a different one in the factory would be prime!! Good idea!! :thumbsup:
