Default Re: City of Wonders 1.00, Major Update

Heh, I just did some testing and noticed something totally sweet.

Apparently, the "Use the Leylines" (it heals all fatigue, but blinks the caster) spell I did works like magic in communions. The main effect of the spell is that it's a mr-negates-easily spell that gives haste, just to fool the casting AI.

Apparently this has also flagged it into a buffing spell and thus if your master casts it in communion, it will heal your slaves fatigue and blink them too.

It was never my intention for it to work like this, but it is nevertheless awesome. I created some nice communions with 6 manifest slaves and a watchman and gambler as masters. Those manifests are pretty sweet when they are blessed, fire shielded, astral shielded, ironskinned, heat aura'ed, legions of steeled, given ap weaponed, personal luck'ed, body etherealed, mistformed... etc. Once I had buffed I just had my Watchman & Gambler (which was placed at the end of the battlefield) retreat and the super-manifest woke to action whereever they might have blinked to. It's pretty thematic too. Team work is basically the number 1 theme in superhero lore.

Now that we know that there is an effect like this, one might be able to make spells that are especially suited to be cast in communions. Just have the mainspell be a weak self-buffing spell and #nextspell something. The #nextspelled spell(s) will be casted once for each communion slave, centered on them.
