Gaea's fury="Infuses the caster's druidstaff with the power of lightning. The chances to hit are increased (dependant on animallore) and successful strikes sometimes call down lightning on the struck foe."

I assume this acts as bonus to the macefighting skill? If so, why doesn't it show up in your skill window? Also, would this be instead of or in addition to Nature's Bless (and any buff items the caster is wearing)?
Trying to decide if I should pick up macefighting as a secondary just to get the most out of our new spell

Also, how long does the effect last? Does the staff get set number of charges or is it time-based? If the latter is the case, any chance we could have Gaea's fury added to the .status gump?

One more thing, would it be possible for Cloak of Protection to use less cloth? Due to the nature of the reagents they use, Druids have always had "weight" problems (not the kind a good diet & exercise can solve). Right now it takes 10 cloth to make one cloak. Could you perhaps reduce that amount a bit (or just make cloth lighter )?

Weight has always been a determinant factor in deciding which spells I want to use. For instance, raw ribs are just too heavy to be carrying hundreds of them all the time so I just don't bother with the wolfpack spell (not that it's the most awesome spell either ).

Oh and whatever happened to the blights? It'd be nice if we could have some random blight spawns around the world again. After all, it sounds like people are going to want to use their druids a lot more now

Forgot to say this. The new changes rock, Drocket. Thanks a bunch! All druids of the world thank you very much


Ps. Completely unrelated question: are there any magic sledge hammers in the world? What kind of wpn is a sledge hammer, anwyay? (macefighting one-handed, mage wpn one-handed?)

No. It directly increases your chances to hit. All the normal 'odds to hit' calculations are performed, then the bonus from Gaea's Fury is added (roughly 10% at 100 animallore/magery.)

If so, why doesn't it show up in your skill window?

Because I didn't get to it yet

Pretty much the intention of the spell - to make some interesting new druid templates

Also, how long does the effect last?

Currently rather short. I need to bump it up a bit, I think... The whole thing is timer-based (no charges)

Actually, now that I think about it, the spell really should use cotton instead of cloth. Ah well... Anyway, after the next restart. Actually, I just made some minor changes to the regs for a number of different druid spells. I'd recommend checking your bag next time you have a chance

Oh and whatever happened to the blights? It'd be nice if we could have some random blight spawns around the world again. After all, it sounds like people are going to want to use their druids a lot more now

Blights are story elements. They don't just happen on their own: they happen when something is wrong. You'll probably seem them again sooner or later...

Oops, looks like they were left out of the list (that determines magical item spawn.) I just added them, so you'll probably start seeming them around.

Sledge hammers are one handed mace weapons.

Cool, thanks

Just as an additional note, I also made some changes to the regs required for some necro spells. Mostly changed vials of blood into a different reagent since its a rather difficult to get reagent (For example, I removed it from spells that also required dragon's blood - seriously, how much blood do you need? ) Probably the only unpopular change will be that I changed Darkness from using Brimstone to Blackmoor. Hey, its a good spell...

Umm, not sure how I managed to get 9k vials (currently collecting dust at home ). I'm assuming daemon blood is a lot more difficult to get than vials of blood were.

As long as as it isn't "pig iron" . . . I only have two of those right now

Its not really that vials of blood are difficult to get. There was just so many spells that used it that it was hard to get. Just check the merchant list - not a single vial of blood for sale

I'd be surprised if you did. A vial of blood must be an extremely rare item now (if there even are any left).

You can tell which people are new to the necro regs business

Oh, duh! Here I am wondering why you're talking about daemon blood... I never even noticed that OSI renamed vials of blood to daemon blood. Here I am wondering why there's so little of it around and thinking that I need to make life easier for necros who can't find this non-existant reagent...

*mutters various curses towards EA/OSI*

Ok, I'm renaming them things back in the next restart

The quests of late(and buffing people for them)brought to mind a spell I think would be very helpful for druids.Would it be possible to add an arch nature's bless spell?.It sure would make buffing others for a group hunts or quests faster,not to mention easier on the regs.
