User Story¶

As a player, I want to disable or bypass magic barriers, so that I can progress through blocked areas by solving puzzles or using the correct spells.

Description¶

• Magic barriers block the player’s path until a condition is met.
• Some barriers require specific elemental interactions to deactivate (e.g., Lightning to overload, Water to short-circuit).
• Other barriers are linked to puzzles or switches, requiring interaction to disable.
• Certain barriers may be temporary or reset after a period.

Test Cases¶

• Verify that magic barriers block player movement until the correct action is performed.
• Ensure that the correct elemental spell interacts with the barrier as intended.
• Confirm that puzzle-based barriers deactivate upon solving the linked puzzle.
• Validate that barriers reset if designed to reappear after a cooldown.
• Ensure that visual and audio feedback indicates when a barrier is deactivated or reactivated.
• Check that barriers cannot be bypassed using unintended mechanics (e.g., clipping).
