Basically when ever you kill something you get souls some mobs drop more some drop less, and you can spend souls to do a number of things (if impossible to make almost an xp system but with souls i can just do a ghost mob that will drop souls, but please lmk if possible)
1. A big leap attack( like the infinity blade from fort) that you can charge for more power (costs 4 souls and build up cost a soul per second)
2. A super charged slash that does more damage than a regular attack and shoots a sword beam (cost 6 souls)
3. Summon a ghost (they work the exact same as dogs but they sometimes shoot small projectiles) (cost 2 souls, max of 5)
4. Summon big ghost (a happy ghast that can only hold 2 people, is a bit smaller, and can shoot fireballs at the users command (cost 4 souls, max of 3)
5. Upgrade the sword (this is permanent and the sword starts at iron damage and can be upgraded to netherite damage although it takes a lot of souls to do)(still working on amount i want)
6. PASSIVE
You get soul speed 3 when holding the sword
Make a variable for the Souls so you can add and remove them from the player without making a huge mess.
I think it should be simple to make an ability system but if you don't have one I'm sure there's some good tutorials out there.
Good luck on your mod, bud!
