But these spells arent being used due to burning too much mana. Only viable option is fireball... is that right? I dont think its a good idea forcing one low end spell on people until they hit level 30+ as a pure mage.

And ofcourse your going to get massive gains when you start from 13 int ...

In that case maybe move the lowest black and white spells in line with lvl2 fireball. Is it light sword and flame bolt? That way we can still level the relevent magic skills up. 60 wis will take a long time. If everyone is in the same boat then i see no harm in keeping it as it is. But the player does need an option on the black / white magic without penalty.
So flame bolt damage and mp cost same as fireball level 2
Lightsword damage and mp cost same as fireball level 2.
People will then still have the option to level blue white and black magic but also be able to switch to the higher damage ones like spirit sword when they hit higher mp pools. Lets face it the very first black and white magic spells arent used anyway.

They are if you want to be Mana Effective.

I remember I used to level with them because I could use them constantly without ever needing pots due to the speed in which I was regaining mana.

Sorry, to clarify. His hp will be the same as his warrior counterpart when he catches up in str? Yes/No?

yes, same str / con should give same hp at the same level.

lvl 2 fireball (Blue magic) altho lower base damage is still better than lvl 2 spirit sword, due to the fact that (at my current lvl of 15) Spirit sword only does 10 more damage than fireball but cost more mana than casting 2 fire balls.

so lets say my fireball MA is 35-35 and S Sword is 45-45 i am doing 70 ish damage with less mana using 2 fireball than with 1 spirit sword (not sure if mobs have any reduction it damage taken based on armour).

I only use Flame bolt to gain black magic skill as the +2 mana, +2 base damage and -1 range vs fireball still means Fireball is most effective magic for killing.

its been over 15 years since i left esome so cant remember the light magic stuff lol
