| Post subject: | Idea: Donate Mana |
Not sure how often it happens nowadays, but in the past certain combinations of events could conspire to dump loads of ME on a magic user and they'd have say, 150%, instead of being properly capped at 100%. For those who need numbers as an example: Mage X gives 50 mana to Mage Y, who now has 150 of a possible 100 mana points. Now whilst in the past / current code the very next game tick will 'fix' this anomally and return mage Y to 100%, I'd propose that such temporary highs could be allowable and potentially encouraged as part of PVP or PVE tactics. Essentially it becomes a temporary increase to the targets 'current' mana only. Discuss: - risks (I'd be concerned about an uber-voodoo off the top of my head) - names for the skill - in theme ways it could be added to the game (one or more classes? in-game group(s)?) Just a random idea. |

First thing I can see is shamans getting overcharged mana pools and using them to annoy the [REDACTED] out of people. I'd vote this down for that reason alone. |

Risks can be mitigated: e.g. if this idea is confined to a theme that excludes shamans (religious spell?). |

I'm in favor of keeping things simple and avoiding 'you can't do that.' |

Skill name - channel. I played around with the thesaurus and could come up with other examples, but none so simple and recognizable. |

There's absolutely no good reason (aside from trying to use old broken scripts that require too much mana) For someone to be need over 100% mana at any point in time except voodoo'ing people, which is one of the lamest skills in the game. |

This encroaches on a skill already in game. |

Cool idea, although I'm not sure if it would work as well as it sounds. |

And there are bug abuses such as removing items to go over the 100%, use the new skill, and a tick later, rinse/wash/repeating. Unless it is also time sensitive and there's sort of an internal recharge ticker happening to prevent this. |

Isn't this already a skill in a certain cabal, and somewhat related to a spell for a certain religion? |
