Default Re: Thoughts on balancing MA Man

Between the Middle and Late Ages, Man has come under some kind of Curse, that's led its mages to learn how to work under Drain. And apparently to abandon Nature magic, despite still having a Nature income. The Curse is mentioned in the descriptions, but left very unspecified. It could be related to Ermor's Fall or Ulm's Malediction, or not.

It would be thematic to give Man some high path summons or spells that tied into this. Something Nature based, but nasty and destructive. Is it possible to mod creatures that affect scales (increase drain)?

My creativity ran out before actually coming up with an appropriate creature.

I know Pangaea kind of went the "dark druid" route, but they did so in a blood sacrifice direction..... What if man went nature+death? A couple of new vine creature summons early on, and then for late game, some sort of vengeful forest being? Perhaps they would be a good fit for Llama's Dark Treant from the endgame summons thread?
