Wishlist: More things to forge

[BesucherXia]

I am not fond of extra path-boosters, since that will enable any races entering other paths more easily and eventually remove their magic difference. But I will also vote for adding new items, which can add more opinion for our strategy:

Can we have a helm to make the unit "blind" and reduce his precision but meanwhile grant him dark-vision?
Can we have a unique item to "call" a new death-match?(this item should be removed by using, like that magic lamp)

Other ideas are armor to improve stealthy ability, unique item to grant army a moving death dome, unique bow to "fire" horror mark, shoe to permantly make unit immobil but also autocast Strength of Gaia.

The path boost items could be designed so that they can't be used to "create" a new path, only to boost exsisting paths.

That rule applies for the existing items too, and I think it a commen sense for further discussion. But adding more boost items is still too much for the balance.

Recentlly it is not too difficult to get mages with one new path (by indy/summons), but as any race goes on expanding his path, he will eventually meet his limit since the path boosters are very limited in choice. And if you enlarge that opportunity by adding new boost items, the whole magic system will be affected.

Another example: the S9 Wish can normally only be casted by S6 mage + starshine skullcap + 2 rings(or 1 ring + lucky coin). If we have an extra new S booster, this extreme limit will be much lower, and we can even image some S5 national mages cast Wish in group. That could be fun, but I will feel it a too big change.
