- when aiming monsters it is easier finding the monster since it is only aiming real monsters (not light effects or so), this improvement only works with v4

We will soon change most spells to be able to be directed, effects like fire breathe and lightning will go into the direction your are aiming. They will also be smaller but slightly more powerful.

1. This meaning casters now need to either have 3 hands to play instead of two or change our Graal controls to take full advantage of this.

2. Soon, our bolt type spells will affect less people, but will only be -slightly- more powerful. Still doesn't do anything about how gimped they are against fast moving targets.


Stefan, I'd like you try out this system for yourself. Try and hit someone with 5+ speed dodging spells and hitting you with a dagger.

Seriously, unless we have 3 arms or have a gamepad on the floor to use our toes, this makes us more of a sitting duck.
