Ive changed aether focuses and beast runes over to amulet-type clothing now, so hopefully this wont be an issue too much longer. People should wear them while walking around.

I'll see if theres a reason the wizard civs dominate worldgen and correct that if possible

Edit; amulets are working well enough. They function in the reactions and you can make them out of leather or cloth. Dwarves will try to claim them as body wear if they have upper body layer space or like them more than old worn out clothing. They have very little coverage and offer virtually no protection however

Good god, one of my earth/thunder bending citizens was bitten by a weresheep

He transformed in the middle of my fortress and roughly 20 died

A rock and thunder conjuring werebeast is definitely a fantastic source of !!!FUN!!!

On a brighter note, there are definitely less children in my fort.

Thanks for the fix. Oh, yeah, one other issue. I seem to be having an issue with spells that use magma not actually being hot or combustion-inducing. Anyone else got this issue?

Re: Urist Mcthunderstone
Ey gads get that nonsense away from me.

[Eric Blank]

Do you know which magma spell it came from? Was it a generic, hyazith, from a divine secret, or from a creature like a wizard?

Think the generic does have a pretty low temperature on the material, so it could very well be that it doesnt transfer sufficient heat to induce combustion on the target with just one shot. The hyazith one i know is quite deadly

Face fondler; good luck with that! One of my test forts recently succumbed to a werewolf outbreak. Speaking of, im fixing another bug with werewolves, because the dogs that got bit also turned.

[FaceFondler]

turns out that one weresheep bit five other dwarves and they just about wiped out half my fort before my militia got to them. The thunderstorms and hurled boulders lowered my fps to a crawl and I could faintly hear my computer's cries for death's release.

Anyway, I ended up turning my hospital into a drowning chamber and just drowned my bitten patients, giving me a nice clean slate.

Sometimes ya gotta cut off the limb before the infection spreads, you know? Jeez.

[Eric Blank]

Does your entire fort know these secrets or something? I would hope the lag doesnt get too bad, but the best i could do about that would be to increase the waiting period between uses on everything, i think...

[FaceFondler]

Well I had those two slabs like I mentioned earlier, right? I retired the fort and visited as an adventurer, and left two manuals at the fort's library.

Unretired, came back,  and made five copies of each book.

My units screen lists almost everyone (tavern guests included) as either thunder or earth warriors.

I don't have a problem with lag on my desktop, just my laptop. The fights don't usually take too long anyway, considering my entire fort is effectively made up of ranged units! I'd say keep the waiting period as is.

Oh, quick question! When my dwarves cast spells and are "blessed with good luck", does this have any actual effect? Thanks again!

[Eric Blank]

That has a pretty minor effect, but yes it does. I think its like a 10% chance of a 100% success

[Putnam]

PERC doesn't refer to a percentage chance of success, it's a percentage which skill rolls are multiplied by--meaning that PERC:100:PERC_ON:10 will, 10% of the time, multiply your skill rolls by... 1.

Of course, I could just be arguing against your wording rather than the raws.

[Eric Blank]

Yeah it should be the same either way, youve got a 10% chance of rolling a 100 or whatever on your skill rolls, so using 100% of your maximum ability from skill?

[Putnam]

Nono, not rolling a 100--rolling 100%, meaning that it doesn't change the skill roll at all.

[Eric Blank]

I double checked, its actually a 300% increase on 50% of turns (which seems kinda insane but it is divine so...)

The mundane one was only 100%, changed that to 200, not that its used by anything accessible to the player at the moment

[Putnam]

300% increase on 50% seems right; this basically just means that half the time your proficient swordsman will be legendary

[philli46]

Would it be possible to strip this mod down to a more basic state, like with just a few basic schools of magic (want to make battlemages who would cast buffs on my soldiers and throw debuffs at my enemies.) I just don't want the extra creatures and civs. (not that i dont like them, they just dont really fit with the DF I've custom built) Would removing certain components break the mod, or can I make it so only the magician's study and a handful of spells are available and nothing else?
