I need a consensus on what to design.  You guys have a lot of ideas, but I'm having trouble finding anything you've agreed on.

[stabbymcstabstab]

From the looks of it we could agree on creating a lighting and rod ordering a tower into the jungle. So +1 to a creating a spell that just creates a large pillar of iron?

[10ebbor10]

No.

That order is about deploying our Forever Frost spell. No one wants a ligthning rod.

Besides, assuming ordinary iron can attract magic lightning sems optimistic.

[10ebbor10]

Vote count :

Wall of spikes : 2
The Arzotskan Academy for Adequate Apprenticeship :  3

Besides, assuming ordinary iron can attract magic lightning sems optimistic.

I am still convinced that the lightning is magically generated, but not magical itself. But no way to know at the moment.

And no, nobody wants a spell to make a lightning rod.

[stabbymcstabstab]

No I guess no lighting rod then. And I'll vote for the academy if it'll speed it along.

The Arzotskan Academy for Adequate Apprenticeship: [5-1, 4-2, 6-2]
Magic is clearly the way of the future, and Arstotzka's youth are the future.  It only makes sense, then, to properly educate our young battlemages in the art of magic in a formal setting.  The AAAA is a place of higher learning for those wishing to pursue the magical arts, instructing them in the ways of crystal conjuration and fire magicks, as well as other minor feats such as conjuring wasps and mists.  The Academy is built as an off-shoot of the Royal Palace, a good distance away in case of any ill-effects of the burgeoning young wizards mis-fired spells.  While the school does allow us to train apprentices in a more formal setting, the prestige and expense of the relatively new school means that not every would-be wizard can attend.  Furthermore, the rate at which we go through apprentices on the battlefield means those that do attend only do so for a few months before being sent off to the front lines.  Still, it's a step forward to creating a professional wizarding force.  Very Expensive.

It is now the Revision Phase.

[FallacyofUrist]

Okay then.

Crystal Wasps: These wasps have crystal stingers that break off in what the wasps sting and last longer than the wasps themselves do. Basically an anti-mage weapon, designed to disrupt concentration.

Channeled Fog: Instead of casting a fog cloud once, this spell is continually cast to sustain a fog cloud and prevent it from being blown away.

Amplified Fireball: Use the extra heat in the fireball itself already!

Efficient Wasps: Work on making our wasp spells easier and quicker to cast.

I know we can only do one of these. Which do you think is best?

[10ebbor10]

Channelled fog

[andrea]

We could also revise our apprentice units into wizards, trying to exploit our academy.

[10ebbor10]

I have no idea what you mean with that.

[VoidSlayer]

Channelled fog

Could fog, or mist, help deflect or absorb the lighting as well?

If we made the Fog channeled, able to be controlled and resummoned by the apprentice and thicker so it dissipates some lighting it would be quite nice.

[10ebbor10]

Could fog, or mist, help deflect or absorb the lighting as well?

Not really.

On the other hand, I have 2 other ideas.

Revise Forever Frost to be simpler

and

Revise Fire Walls to be faster to cast.

[andrea]

I have no idea what you mean with that.

as in, trying to find a way to make use of the academy like saying "now our apprentice units are better trained and can have more powerful spells and stuff". I am not sure the academy itself does much, but we will see this turn.

I vote Channeled fog

However, I would also make a proposal:

Minor wall of flame A wall of flame just big enough to deter horses from moving into it. The main goal of this spell is to be faster to cast than its bigger cousing, allowing rapid tactical use ( as in, breaking charges or blocking horse archers)

edit: Well, since YOU proposed it, I am going to vote for Firewall revision. If they are faster to cast, I believe they will be more effective in all phases of combat. Especially against cavalry.

[Roboson]

My vote is to make Make Really Cold Forever Frost simpler. Unless someone has a really great proposal. If we can make it simpler a few times, we may be able to get one in each area.
