Revised scroll, potion, herb etc. usage
 
I see a major drawback of the fun aspects within the PvP system in the current scroll, potion, herb and alike usage and operation.

Such as a spell has a very limited amount to be canceled, this should apply aswell to the usage of scrolls, herbs, potions etc.

An animation of the usage would help out here a lot, and if the player suffers a hit, magical or physical, during reading or consumption, it would be canceled, and does need more attempts or a distance to surely read or consume.

The point of scrolls is immediate usage. Blinding is their drawback.

Immediate usage of scrolls/herbs/potions = Invincibility = Totally out of whack.

The point of a scrolls is to store spells/prayers for future use w/o any cost at the time of use. I really don't think they're purpose is for immediate use, but rather for preparation.

I actually detest the way scrolls are instant-use, and that you can spam them. This is unrealistic, in an rp sense, and leads to abuse. There should definately be a reading process with a gani, the time taken to read a scroll should vary on it's level and the spell inscribed. I'm sure i suggested something similar in-game, was told it was a nice suggestion :oo: nothing came from it.

It's called buffing and healing. It's not invincibility. Get over it.

They confuse you if you screw them up. (Which is a major drawback for casters, since it muddle their spellcasting.)

Buffing and healing are a nice thing, if they stand in a balanced relation, the mixture of instantly usable herbs and scrolls, and rarely in some cases potions aswell as dusts, give a total immunity. Especially with the insane amounts of restoration scrolls, that are writeable in mass.

They still cost a substantial amount of grace to write. They don't just magically pop out from nowhere.

Also, no dust, potion, or scroll to my knowledge gives total immunity to anything. And if such a thing does exist, it probably costs a lot to make or buy. (Such as some of the resistance potions you can get in shops.)

Yeah, it takes roughly 10 seconds to recover, 15 plat for the scroll, and a writing pen to write a restoration. Good that this insane effort is rewarded with a scrolls, that completely heals the HP bar, and removes any poison or desease the character suffers under.

I'd name a complete heal to anything, even the effects of blinding, immunity. You might want to call it as you like.

Drae i gotta disagree with you here. Scrolls shouldn't be instant use, the process of reading should be seen like a reading time dictated by scroll level and/or the spell... It's totally ridiculous that someone can just restore while i'm killing them and do it in an instant, it might have cost alot of grace, but no cost = immunty.
