As you attempt to release a tome of writhing runes's
magical inscriptions, their power overwhelms you.
Invisible things vanish again.
The magical side of things is less visible.
Yer slots memorized are fubared. Fixing it, but if this happens oft, report

Right on.

I just have this to say. Giving it an explosion and making that explosion is all fine and dandy, which probably has additional factors to increase the damage, but seriously... come on now.. think about this..

How does a 1ST LEVEL SPELL do 500+ damage?


Sseth, is this damage scaled according to level? OR will any low level casting it be able to blow the hell out themselves too? :P


Maybe it should be a 10th circle spell instead? Or maybe I should just log a level 1 mage everytime I wanna erase a frigging book and defeat the labor of your code.

[Ashiwi]

It would be great if the damage were directly linked to the spell levels inside the book.

And ofcourse the final log of this thread, and most appropriate because as is true with me, Stupid death =

You feel a Presence touch you, its divine hand cupping itself around
your soul and holding it briefly. You sense a pang of regret as your
soul is returned to your current body, and loss fills you.

How does a 1ST LEVEL SPELL do 500+ damage?

As I recall, the power of the various scribed spells IS stored in the book. And in fact, in tabletop you could cast directly from the book without meming (ala scroll) which would erase it from the book.

So imagine if all the combine power were suddenly released uncontrollably.
"You release the magical inscriptions from a thick embossed spellbook covered with runes. "

The 1st level spell ISNT doing any damage. Its just releasing the binding magic.

I'm thinkin, if every spell on a vokers kit went off at once, yer damn lucky to have a corpse left at all :D

*mourns* on the fail, ses.

BTW, anyone in room with ya? would have been ... amusing ... if it were area affect. :D

[Ionari]

I'm thinkin, if every spell on a vokers kit went off at once, yer damn lucky to have a corpse left at all :D

That would be one HUGE inferno...

[Marrus]

FYI, I erased a spellbook and it only did something like 20 hps, which lends credence to what Nekelet says because there were only a handful of spells in that book.

[fotex]

so what's the ress failure rate with that con?

Shouldn't there be a "YIKES! Another hit like that...." here?

[Llaaldara]

FYI, the book that nuked me as invoker, wasn't an invoker book. It was an elementalists book.

Ps. Has this been tweaked at all? Or should I still be using level 1 chars to erase any books I come accross?

[fotex]

I would hope that a lvl 1 char doesn't have the spellcasting prowess to erase 10th circle spells from a book. That should fail, if it doesn't already.
