Wizards Can't Specialize!!! Well like this they can....

Another thread with illusion spells that would be useful in DDO would be this thread.

Hey Asp.

Instead of adding a Separate Pool of SP...

Why not just reduce Metamagic Costs (or even the spell costs themselves) of the Associated School of Magic.


For the Metamagic Variant -1 per effective Metamagic Spell Level

Extend is +1 Spell Level so = -1 SP with that School
Maximize is a +3 Spell Level so = -3 SP with that school


alternately you could just have spells themselves cost slightly less.

-1 per spell level
10=9
15=13
20=17
25=21
30=25
35=29
40=33
45=37
50=41

or maybe just a flat -5 sp so the progression is 5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45...

or some variation of that.

It might be easier to do.

Don't give them any "easy way out ideas." My way is better!!!

/signed wholeheartedly! More choices/options, more fun.

Being a specialist wizard at the cost of giving up two schools of magic is possibly the single most important class feature of the wizard, and we can't do it in DDO.

Well, this is how they should do it:

The specialist wizard chooses two schools of magic, he cannot cast spells from these schools. This includes scrolls, wands, or memorization. In return the specialist wizard gains a second spell point pool reserved for spells from the specialist school. The primary spell point pool stays the same size, the specialist pool serves as the "bonus spell slot" for each level that a specialist wizard gains for specializing. As the wizard casts spells from that school, the dedicated pool subtracts their cost until exhausted. Once gone, the costs for all spells are taken from the primary spell point pool. All spells not from the specialized school are always taken from the primary pool.

Due to our extremely limited spell selection, outlined by barabel below, we should probably only have to ban one school of magic instead of two.

Simple.

Think we should ban two schools
But the sugestion is good

Aesop is not as exact as Aspenor.
As the benifit could can be more then Aspenors. (if you only use one school)
