DsRaider, there is an ocean of difference between being done NOW, and being done when it's available. My take from that post was that the spell system was still in development, and not "done", finalized. On top of that, it isn't even certain that the system will be in the game at all.

hmm, read the pdf.

I think we need more spells.

Someone posted that it would be awsome that one school excells in one type of spells, other in another.

Also, a game might have a basic spell that could be augmented with addistional powering with extra mana for another part f varying effect, like, for example, regeneration in one area, or in one army, base is XX points, per 3 turns, i you pump XX mana into it, it prolongs the time effect of regeneration.

the spell list should definitely be longer.

Oh, and I can't get over the ugly terrain, please make it look nicer....

There are many more spells. 

In Wall of Fire (and other such "attack all" spells) I would hope the 2 fire damage per unit is really 2 fire damage per soldier in a unit.

So that, a champion or other 1 soldier unit would get 2 fire damage ... while a 10 soldier unit would get 20 total damage (2 damage to each of their individual HPs, if 'hopefully' possible)

I've been watching Master of Magic games on youtube and playing some myself and the number of interesting spells in Master of Magic is FAR greater than in this PDF.

For a game that is supposedly based on Magic and that is supposed to make us all powerful when we have enough mana, I don't feel the power of magic when I read the PDF

This is the reason why in all video games, RPG and board games, the wizard is always the weakest character classs. Because people are scared to make wizards powerful because they fear that they will unbalance the game. This is a reason why they lock up wizards in a tower in dragon age ... they are dangerous.

The only video games that  I know that does not have this psychological restriction is "Master of Magic" and "D&D shadow over mystara".

I think a way to balance the magic system a bit would be to allow mana costs to be adjustable, such that they should be set within a gamemodifier instead of the current SpellResourceCost in the XML.

So for instance one could increase the mana cost based on the number of shards used, or in the case of Mana Blast it could cause 10% of pre-cast mana damage to any one unit, and cost 50% of the current mana to cast. 

I believe this could help solve a lot of the current overpowered magic issues.

Death is only good when you have Death Worship.

I don't know, there is spell seem can't easy to get like Mana Blast, but that can get "quest" and all in my playing again, again in .86 beta, it's rare to get quest, and quest do not respwan, so I rather get all those spell from quest or other by reseaching so I get all of them. that's me.

List of spells as of 0.86
