Spell Pool revisited (in General)

Skill: Trained to 1/4 of total combined DD level (nasty...maybe not so high); allows minions to train a DD spell of the same type and thereby boost another minions DD spell. Could also just be a combined (adds to minion training the skill and casting the DD) EO if we want it subject to DM.

This could also bring up the possibility of elemental alterations if allowed, adding spread damage to a MM, but not until melee (by adding CoC, mixing with FB would do the same thing in ranged but with normal backlash in melee), or making CoC hit for a fractional amount during ranged (either from behind with MM, or in a spread with fractional backlash in melee).

Would AMF deal with them each separately, much like DM deals with each stacking enchantment?

So then mages would unlearn evasion and then get mowed down by seekers. Ya, I think not.

I will keep the evasion on my mage until the right thing is done with disposable items that neutralize millions of NW, thank you very much.

Get rid of seekers and I am all for a nice mage skill. But at least you did give a good thought to proposing a mage skill. :))
