Remaining Attack Types

And as far as I know drain magic still works as a spell, and having an item with resist drain +100 (like that black necromancer helm with the purple gem) gives you immunity to having your magic drained.

I'd like to see Vitriol re-introduced as an acid-based spell. (With a temporary AC debuff instead of a permanent one like the original spell did.)

Also, I've heard that about Drain as well, but Drain can also be assigned to weapons using Bile's blessing.

If there was some sort of parameter where the effect could only be re-applied 3 or 4 seconds after the player is freed-- it might not be so bad. And the effect should only last a split second itself. But yeah, all that to say Paralyze could be pretty cool too!

The duration for Fear's stun effect was a little too long, and didn't make as much sense as Fear does now. It would need to be about a second long, or shorter, and provide at least a split second window for the player to move away or block with a shield to protect themselves if they are being locked into place by all the stuns.

Yeah, it's basically the same thing as Drain, but would take out your opponent's food first instead, leaving them no more points to regenerate health, magic, and so forth.

Well, Drain Grace could be used as a stand-alone spell just like Drain Magic. But for the attack type, it might be possible to have spell points / grace drain randomly if both are to be included.
