"exploding" spells

[vidar]

Ok I may be the only one that feels this way BUT, i believe all "exploding" spells should explode on contact of a player or monster as they were meant to be. this may seem like a small fix but would greatly change tactics for mages. it would introduce a new element (well i fixed element). This would make these spells usefull in battle and possibly leveling. It would make them more than "bullets" with larger cast costs

Granted i realize this may not be done for one or both reasons:
1. it will not be an extremely easy fix since each of these "exploding" spells are in different categories. This means that dev. can't just go in and fix a specific category. in all likely hood it will have to fixed on a spell by spell bases.
2. staff is either busy or doesn't care. it's the blunt truth.

these spells consist of:
small, medium, large fireball
small, medium, large snowstorm
poison cloud (side note: can we make this actually poison?)
small, medium, large manaball
holy orb

Would be interesting to fight against, would certainly be a new tactic to keep melee players away almost and melee players that go in for a hit might find themselves taking damage since you could strategically cast on yourself creating a sort of shield.

My suicide running would be a lot more entertaining this way. Imagine charging into Kavisr with holy orbs circling you

yes. this update would change most mage tactics greatly and would be a GOOD improvement to mage game play. especially making up for this k/d catastrophe(for mages) lol

A good plan, destroyed in an instant with a good ol fashioned Ogma bow.
