Aside from the body-detonation, and healing, no spells are on the list.  I think what ever spells anyone really has to have will be added 3 releases from now.  So we need to let T-man know what those are, now.  I don't think gravity will be in by then, so fireballs might not be possible.

Here is my contribution: Power-words from "Dune" that burst organs and shatter limbs.

Now, the worst ideamaker has come up with an even worse idea (is that possible???): Split universe saves. Say that you do something really worldchanging in one game, you could choose to split or copy the universe. So in one of them, you could continue your character work and in the other one you could destroy all that your character made.

Let us go back to the sleeping wizard thingie:

In one of the universe saves you could ensure that fighting undead, surviving meteor rains and such are things people do everyday. Then nobody will notice the return of the wizard, then people might notice him and kill him.

In the other universe, you could do something other, like making a secret cult that awaits the return of the wizard just to serve him. The wizard wakes up and chaos spreads. Then the player who control the wizard suddenly have a large group of people who obeys his commands.

Comment plz? I want replies to this really long message, otherwise... IŽll burn Alanors huts down (look upwards in thread)!!!

From what I understand of it, its quite interesting...  So, when some epic event comes, you could choose for the game to make a kindof extra save point, then 2 very different things would happen and you could play both?  Is that what you mean?

You can currently do this by copying the right files for save games (both the .uni and .sav file) -- for universes without active characters, you can just press the little split world button when loading the old universe, or copy .uni files...  I haven't really tried it out though :)
