So, before I called the system I had Day Night System (DNS).

Basically, it's the turn system I made a template of, but instead of random initiative or something, battles were wholly based on whether it was day or night (at day the monsters wait until you attack, at night the party gets hit with Sleep), and after a certain number of turns it would shift.

Then I made a variant Day Night System, that did the basic starting condition of deciding who goes first, but without the day/night shift.

Then I decided to create a standard Turn Based. And after that, I made four other battle types Snow battles (slow drain hp with some miss chance), Rain battles (slow drain mp with some miss chance), Hot battles (desert etc, fast hp drain), and Low Light (basically the party is Blind only it can't be cured).

Finally, mainly to simplify things (lol) I made it keep track of what terrain you were standing on, and react accordingly with the battle type. For instance, you could go to the same battle group in a tundra and a wetland and have two different battle styles (Snow and Rain).

I tested it just now, and it seems to work (I'm gonna make a minor update soon). The problem being what should I call this new system, since it needs a name so people know what I'm talking about.

May I suggest Environmental Condition System (ECS). To me, the term seems to cover the examples you mentioned ...
Sounds good. Yes, Day/Night is covered under environment. As in being in a snowy forest, a mountain, or inside a cave. Or for that matter, even being somewhere weird like in deep space, would still be considered an environment.

Good call!

Outside of mtgo, I don't know anyone who plays Prismatic.

Making a 250 card deck with at least 20 cards of each colour is not
an easy task.
I like the OCD option. It also covers all that you listed.
