Yeah like I said tho it is a VERY rough idea.
Another thing we can consider is that we already have "Paths" in code so we may just revamp those in combination with this idea... In essence, they already exist in some form.
As it is you can find random books with a list of spells in the "path of <Foo>".
The path of Frost for example contains:
Icestorm
Frostbolt
Large Icestorm
etc.
perhaps we can actually DO something with these spell paths instead.

I think that you should be able to summon multiplying monsters, it just takes tons of mana. That way you could actually kill SOMETHING with summon pet monster.
I have to agree with this wholeheartedly. I have level 18 sorcery, 23 int and 23 pow (and 24 wis, but it probably doesn't matter). It took me TWO casts to kill a goblin. A stinking goblin. For a level 18 spell, you'd think that it'd at least be able to kill a goblin in one shot.EmperorBMA wrote:First, some of the spell required levels are set way too high. For example, Destruction is level 18, but it hardly harms a thing.
I've found that missile swarm is somewhat useful. It doesn't do as much raw damage as steambolt, but it's fairly useful for hurting things that are off the screen, in my opinion. It's also fairly useful for clearing out rooms of weak things, and it tends to be less dangerous to the objects in the room, since it can only damage items in the same tile as something it hits.

Im jumping into this thread late as always: but if anyone reads this, HELPFUL info.
1. Sorcery is easily leveled by means of Color Spray(lvl13) which casts in cone shape multiple damage types. Yes this requires some time and waiting for magic to regenerate but it does indeed function(wraiths can use this yes)
2. Summoning is easily leveled by first getting to around level 8 or 9(level 3 summon pet monster summons killer bees which if you summon about 80 in goblin tc tend to do a swell job of clearing it out and getting you 3-4k exp a minute. Which while slow will get you to 8 or 9 in about 20 mins. At level 8 or 9 start using charm monster in humanoids tc, by time you clear a floor you will have gained a level or two, and will be able to charm next floor, and this will continue, you may have to redo lower levels(gaeltrolls etc,) 1 or 2 times but will eventually be able to easily clear it and start on dragon tc and demon tc with no problems.

except for this: you need attuned summoning to summon killerbee's at lvl 3 summoningAnonymous wrote: 2.

Ahh summoning attuned isnt too hard, and u can always just use a golem and kill goblins til level 6(which is killerbee level), takes a while but it does work and is quite easy.[/quote]

Leveling Sorcery
Once you get sparkshower you can pretty quickly level sorcery by going to the zombie training area; go to the top right corner and cast sparkshower twice in a downward left direction, it should fry most of the zombies for about 3k exp, then go to the bottom left corner and do it facing the top right- lather rinse repeat (You could script this) and you can get to level ~11 with relative ease.
