Spell in general

Postby Wargo » Fri Jul 19, 2002 7:10 am

I've been thinking. Among the offensive spells, there seems to be an unbalance in elemental concentration. What's up with that?

Fire Spells - inferno, incendiary cloud, fireball, burning hands, lava burst, firewave, flame blade, firestorm, flame strike

Cold Spells - fell frost, cone of cold, chill touch, icewave, ice layer, blizzard sphere, ice spear, shadechill, hailstorm, ice storm, ice tomb

Lightning Spells - thunderblast, chain lightning, lightning bolt, thunder lance, call lightning

Earth Spells - earthquake, glitterdust, sandstorm, earth darts

Wind Spells - whirlwind, air blast, dust devil, cyclone

Water Spells - zipo

So that's 9 fire spells, 11 cold spells, 5 lightning spells, 4 earth spells, 4 wind spells, and 0 water spells.

I would like to see more lightning, earth, wind spells and at least a few water spells. Maybe a tsunami type of spell. That'd be cool. Flood the entire room with water and flag the room water! Heheheh Image

And there should be a spell that changes the room elements to enhance or to reduce the effectiveness of certain elemental spell damage. Sort of like what nature rooms do to druid spells. Example: cone of cold should do minimal damage on fire plane because the cone melts in the intense heat while traveling towards the victim. Would it be cool?!

I guess you could argue that any spell that has to do with ice is conceivably a water spell, but yeah, i agree. Are there any elemental weakness for races other than fire with trolls?

I wouldn't count shadechill as Ice,

you forgot Ice tongue, Earthblood...

Personally as a elementalist, i'd like more water, earth spells...
