Scrolls in core

(Hand on head)

If i'm being fair, magic in general is very underpowered. Whereas levelling phys or wisdom has clear advantages, levelling magic is infact a terrible thing, you're rewarded with sp per level, but strangely... your spells all cost more sp. Naturally you'd think 'they must be stronger now' - not the case. That's one problem that has to be fixed, rise in sp cost and increase in power of the spell should happen every 5 levels, as with phys improvements.

There are alot of pow/dex gear these days, so mages aren't as worse off as they used to be, although i wonder how many mages can find a pair of MSoG and Archers to get that fabled 30dex 30pow...

But lets not kid ourselves, magic is overpowered in a sense that it can be spammed to no end (based on sp reserves ofcourse - mana crystals?). The main culprit is bullet storm. Especially storm. Cooldowns for some spells need to be introduced. I'd probably only suggest them for bullet storm, missile swarm (if it was fixed to dmg). I wreckon as mlvl increase and obvious spell power, aoe spells like bullet storm would last longer and cause more damage, but still prevented from spamming more than 3 at once, which may be possible at around 80-90+ mlvl.

Heh, i'd also like to see mages get wow sort of skip spell, since gaining distance to cast is how mages fight, it shouldn't be the case that a mage must attempt get more speed than a warrior...

Damn near impossible to get 30 dex 30 pow, Klay only has it because of bloods and cassy is pretty close to it she is like 30 28 or 29 with her aengus cloak.

Mana Crystals are stupid I never use them unless I'm setting up a mass amount of walls or if someone decides to scroll.

This shouldn't be changed until spell damage and sp cost is fixed.

shold take 1/8 of your mp just to prevent spamming. Mages aren't supposed to be ridiculously fast anyways. But a slow mage on gk = dead.

Erm 30 30 really isn't impossible, there are active MSoG and Archers which are hardest items to get for 30 30. Try and get them along with RoE's, Halloween Wizzy, Sash of Clarity, Gale, Speed Ammy, Ice shield, Dex Cloak and Bunny mask. that's 30 30 (unless i'm mistaken and sash of clarity gives 1pow then sorry to sound misleading).

They're still incredibly cheap and offer infinite sp reserves, that's the only thing i'm pointing out.

I'd say it should just be done, shouldn't matter if it's before or after spell damage and sp cost is fixed, they all need to be taken care of. Would be best if they were all done simultaneously.
