    Mortal Ray

    It's an interesting idea but, right now, it doesn't have much functionallity. Long casting time, high MP cost, low accuracy, it's Doom has a 60 second countdown and it can just plain wear off even if it does land. That's a lot of penalties for something that would have a very niche use already even if it had decent functionallity.

    All NMs are immune to Doom so, why not let this spell be a little more effective?

    Here's what I propose:

    -Reduce the MP cost to 200~.
    -Reduce the countdown from 60 to 30 seconds.
    -Once landed on the opponent, modify it so it can't wear off on it's own. It can still be cured and so forth.
    -Give this spell a sizeable accuracy bonus when used on a target that is asleep.
    -Continue to make all NMs immune to Doom.

    Making these adjustments will give this a use when dealing with large groups and crowd control, allowing it to be used on one of a number of slept monsters while you work on another. This will give it a function. A small one, mind you, but a function nonetheless. I don't think any of us expected Mortal Ray, nor did any of us ask for it, as far as I know. But, since you went out of your way to make it, please give us a reason or situation in which we would want to use it.

    But it's a doom spell that you would be lucky to hit even 5% of the time, work 1% of the time, and breaks the MP bank to do so. It's effectively there to just make your magic list look cool.

    Is it single mob or conal gaze?.. AoE doom is kinda game breaking...even on "regular mobs".

    Pretty sure it's single target. Also, wouldn't be game-breaking as an aoe, because having no effect on 10 mobs is not more effective than having no effect on one.
