That just.. blows. Hard.

Ugh.. I had quite clear idea how I wanted the first posts of the thread look. Have my minor FAQ and starting words first, then the actual mod download and after that, the spell list. You know, so that it would look nice and you wouldn't have to scim over 40+ spell descriptions to get to the download.

Now it seems that I have to run every change through a moderator. Inconvenient and time consuming for all parties involved. Well, you just have to go by the rules.

It's a desing decision that nothing in this mod is completely unresistable (unless the effect is just neglible and annoying like the Battle Fright affliction in "Whispers from Afterlife" and Never Healing Wound from "Waters from Tartarus"). AoE sacred damage spell with 30 damage is quite close to something like that. No defense rolls, no MR rolls, nothing. By having the lighting effect first you can defend against it by having 100% shock resistance, to prevent AI from targeting your troops in the first place.

Now that I wrote that down and thus read it, it simply dawned on me how retarted that is. That's just clunky and meta-gamish. I'll have to figure something out and change it on the next version.

Thanks. If it won't be too much of an bother could you also edit out the question on the second post? It might confuse someone.
