Kthulian I thought we agreed Hestia wasn't supposed to get this

I would add Magic Missile, Charm, Drown, Earthen shield, and Crackling Sphere ( Ball lightening that can hit up to 3 times)What a nice discussion about ways to use the combat system, that means I'll have to add some more spells to it... And code different effects
What the hell, let's do it!!
Ideas for spells anyone? come on, give it to me

Something like this for Mysticism. Mysticism supposedly improves your physical abilities, so it would make sense. Call it Stone Skin or Body of Steel or something. Would also serve as counterpoint for the Regeneration spell from Healing.Earthen Shield is another "Well it's a defense spell". Just like Force Wall, Fear, Blinding Light, and Shield. It'd just be another category that has one. Hmm maybe a 2 turn defense spell as an alternative to Icy Wind.
These already exist. Necromancy has a Lvl5 spell you can only get on the Neutral path that drains life. Bog standard Heal does in fact damage undead.Well a life drain spell could fit necromancy, heal maybe a spell that would hurt undead badly
I love this.maybe for alteration a spell that would speed up MC giving him chance to dodge attacks and do double physical attack for one or two turns after?
I sniffed the good smell of Mida and I found her you're so evilKthulian I thought we agreed Hestia wasn't supposed to get this
Your King approves this, that's hot.

Where did you get that picture from? Is there a secret Kthulian stash that I should know about?

Those are Alteration spells that you're thinking of. I've tried to think of ways of doing Stone Skin and have it be unique, but I haven't figured one out yet.Something like this for Mysticism.

Speaking of Regeneration, how many HP does it regenerate? 3? Somewhat underpowered compared to Icy Wind which effectively saves you 5 every round.
It's too bad that combat so far is effectively one on one. Implementing group combat would give more options like AoE and what not.
I have a similar build, battlemagic = damage, healing = HP and alteration = MP. All you need is thereSo with 25 battlemagic, 20 healing, and 7 alteration, I can pretty easily defeat the very hard opponent. The 5th level ward under alteration helps to bring my mana (blue orb) back up, so I can continue to cast level 5 fireballs (battlemagic). The level 10 electroshock (battlemagic) works good, but uses up too much mana, so I found I am better off with the level 5 fireball. With this combo, I can often defeat very hard without having to heal-self.
All that shows is that we need to rethink things about the combat system. Now the ideal thing would be to add enemy weaknesses and strengths, but as I've talked with Kthu about that as recently as last night, I was informed that it would be a lot of extra code and could even lead to lag in battle. A change to the system will occur eventually, including reworking old skills, so this might not always be the case.I have a similar build, battlemagic = damage, healing = HP and alteration = MP.
