Default Re: Wish List

Here are two features that I would like with spell casting:

1) When scripting spells for a mage to cast the UI does not take into account the previous spells to determine which spells are available.

Ok that was complicated. Perhaps an example I have a caster with 1 in fire magic and 1 in astral. My 1st spell is Power of the spheres, I want my 2nd spell to be fire ball however it is not on the list since the game knows that I am only level 1 and does not take the pervious level into account.

Now clearly the game can not figure out all possibilities since communion can cause variable additions to a caster's level. So how about adding a UI element that allows you to set how many extra levels you want to add to your caster (for filter purposes only). A simple addition to the UI, but it would give much more control over combat.

2) I would really like to be able to script more than 5 spells. But I could see people complaining that this could cause balance problems (not that I agree!!!).
