Giant Web Spell - Mana & level should be?

from Elemental Forums


I wrote two spells based on the Spider's web ability. The first, a simple web spell is level 1 and costs 10 mana.

The second spell, Giant Web, has a radius of 6 tiles and affects all units; enemy and friendly, within that radius It can be resisted. What should the casting time, level and mana cost be? Currently I have it as a level 4 spell with a casting time of 2 and a cost of 50 mana.

Level 3 and a one turn casting time would be OK in my book, Edwin99.  Especially since it is sticky for friend and foe alike.  2 turns against mounted or high initiative foes would mean the tactical battle would already be joined. Spell level four doesn't always pop very early.  Level 3 at least unlocks it at the same time as fireball.  Mana cost of 50 sounds ok...

My two gildars...

 

Look forward to playing around with the spells!

Thanks. Level 3, for as you say it should not unlock later than fireball. I also agree with your reasoning for the 1 turn casting.
