Upgrading spells through staves

1
Author Content Date
There has been mention that some people think old spells become useless and that DB is the only spell worth using.

Perhaps there could be drops that can be prepared and upgraded to give bonuses to spells that you add on to staves to give a permanent effect such as that of a ToE.

For example;
Oil of Shatter: +15 to Spirit sword damage
Oil of Weaken: Weaken no longer dispellable by serum and cure
Oil of The ladyboy: Chance to heal double the amount

and so forth.

The numbers such as Spirit sword etc are just an example, but the upgrade could make it slighlty better than DB etc. This would bring old spells back to life and could make various people have different roles in wars etc.

EDITS
Perhaps the user should have a very high staff skill needed so they have to sacrifice another weapon.
Also, to stop people having various staves, perhaps they staff has be hunted for like a quest and there is a limit of one staff per character. Therefore, you can only ever have 1 effect.

Thoughts?

Good idea, to be fair to make it easier for the devs to implement you could have +100 black magic skill instead of +10 damage on SS.

Although I actually really like your idea; We already play Mages of Soma, and this will make things worse.

Magic is dominating HSoma and I would like to see things bought back into line before changes such as these are made.

However I am always up for more customisation, and items like this remind me of my Diablo2 days.
