** I'm not sure if I agree. Water magic is already very bad, and expert dispel removing everything makes it even worse for you to use. At the same time, I'm not happy with the way Dispel is right now but haven't come up with a good solution yet. One idea I had was making it target berserk-like, but maybe on a bigger radius (say 1-3-5 hexes). But then it wouldnt really work with landmines and tower mines... (they either all get dispelled or none as far as I know). So I'm not sure what to do with it. Do you have some ideas? [[User:Csaros|Csaros]] ([[User talk:Csaros|talk]]) 10:02, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
** Related, but probably too complicated for this mod - Is there some way to optionally cast Dispel as a single target even when you have the mass version of the spell? Dispel is (I think) the only spell that I sometimes wish I had a lower proficiency version of the spell.  I guess this same thought could apply to any spell whose AOE increases (e.g. Berserk, Force Field, Fire Wall), although in practice those never seem to bother me. --[[User:Legate|Legate]] ([[User talk:Legate|talk]]) 18:50, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Ring of the Magi[edit | hide | hide all]

  • I really like the new spell cost reducing effect. It is interesting and new and fits with what Magi already do! --Legate (talk) 17:01, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
    • 1 question: Does it stack with Magi/Arch Magi reducing spell cost? If so, Can it get expert Magic Arrow (and others) down to a 0 sp cost spell? If so, consider making spells cost a minimum of 1 sp?
      • I'm glad you like it! Yes, it does stack with Magi's ability, and as innthe base game, minimum cost of a spell is always 1.

  • The Dispel changes may be a bit much. I always viewed it as a tactical decision whether to use dispel because you knew it would get rid of your buffs as well. Having it only affect enemies removes much of this give/take. --Legate (talk) 18:50, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
