Anyone else had Morigan's(sp?) Spellbook Quest yet.
Got 2 spells as the reward, i think its hard to tell:
Mana Shield; Enchantment, Cost 30, Upkeep 3, ALL damage is taken to Mana pool instead of HP.
Mana Blast; Single target direct damage, not sure on base cost, Deals damage equal to your mana pool resist for half. seems to be unaffected by damage bonus traits, but with a Mana pool of 5k+ who needs them.
Yes saw that. It was one of the interesting ones. how about a mana shield that blocks spells? Could work on global, tactical level, or even on per unit level.
I think it's relatively easy to do summon <unit> spells particularly since you already have so many interesting monsters already.
I am thinking though the current magic system in FE makes it not so ideal to have many spells.
There seems to be 3 main ways to gain spells
1. Automatic if you have right spell proficiency - Spell proficiency goes up, you automatically get it even with no research.
2. Researching magic tree to get a spell book eg. book of winds but you still need the right spell proficiency
3. Quest spells - See as #2 but still need right spell proficiency
I am not sure the right balance between #1 - #3, in FE #1 is pretty high.
Though for MOM, #1 is relatively low or almost zero, and most is from #2, while #3 is super rare after defeating powerful enemies.
I kind of prefer the MOM model, to put a greater empathisis on the need to research spells
I really wish the spells you could research and cast was better tied to your channeler. Currently, it doesnt matter if your channeler has basically no/few spell pathes. All
he needs to do is imbue a few champions many of who have spell proficienes, do research on spell tree (optional) and you get as many spells as a spell casting specialized channeler.
Kind of reduces the whole tension about customizing your channeler, since it matters little what you pick for spells.
Another funny thing is that the channeler won't necessarily be more powerful magically then the champions he/she imbues. I suppose you could argue without the channeler they wont even have the mana to cast spells, but it's still strange that even if the channeler is leveled as a spell caster the channeler is EXACTLY as powerful as the champion he imbues if both have the same spell proficiency. The only diff is the soverign can surivive falling/losing in battle without getting a negative trait but that's minor.
Not sure how FE can be fixed
