I agree with Xeropace,mages are too weak,they have no chance vs. Melee!

Melee mage archers?

Melee > Mage
Melee > Archer
Archer > Mage
Mage > nothing

In MS:C's case anyway.

Edit: What suggestions did you make?

Are the devs not getting this right? This is actually a BUG!

The reason why it's so hard, is because the three spells do NOT give experience;

Renew
Summoning
Ice shield

if these three had given experience, lvling spellcasting would be alright, but they don't, which, as far as I know, can't be anything else than a bug or a missing feature, can it?

And because of this bug/ missing feature, other parts of the game are slightly unplayable. I'm taking a quick guess spell casting 7 isn't enough to learn volcano etc. You probably need 10, which is impossible I think. However if you could level ice shield, summoning and rejuvenation, it'd be possible.

 

[evilsquirrel]

if you could, that would be easily possible...

I think that there should be some kind of multi-magic spell which levels up all of the elemental sub-thingies in Magic. Something like an "ether" bolt, which deals a fair amount of damage and is quite hard to find. I generally think that magic should not be tampered with in any way, because of the way MS:C is made. There's no real character mould in MS:C, because you can have a wizard that's also adept at Swordsmanship. I honestly don't know what you people think Magic is so futile!

i just want to see how an archer will beat a mage,very interesting ....it's rediculous (that's my opinion)

Mage > Archer, hands down.

Yeah, shoot me with your puny arrows while I laugh at Rejuv myself for another hour. ...well, at least until they fix the bug where you can't pick up jagged arrows.

Granted, I'm sure once I get my volcano, lightning storm, and blizzard up - as Bomir says - ONE SHOT TWO KILLS MOTHER****ERS!

Granted there's no way I'm getting my spell casting that high before the reset - and it sounds as if it's gonna be even harder to raise magic afterwards. ><

Seems the fact that you could raise your manna levels with other skills was the only thing making this viable.

Is it just me or does summoning not give exp? i summoned about 20 rats against a couple boars/orcs, and no exp. lol?

Lol u got that off my sig, bastard, and btw, its 2 kills not 1.

 

[Jester]

Uhhh actually 1 shot 1 kill is an old phrase. It wasn't "coined" in your little sig thing. The correct one for your sig should be "Two birds with one stone." not 1 shot 2 kills if you want to be really correct about phrases.

 

[JabbahRulz]

but he implied "As bormomir says 1 shot 1 kill" not two birds with one stone

 

[Thothie]

Jabbahz is right... And Bomir's statement probably still applies with these WMD spells - so I'll edit for accuracy.

 

[JabbahRulz]

my favourite spell (if ever made) would be to summon a trebuchet and launch huge rocks all the way to Hell (Lord Undamaells map?)
