Yet another spell request thread

[Dale]

Dispel II - removes one special effect from the target (auras, spikes, 1 hour effects, and any other currently non-dispellable effects).

This would obviously be overpowered as is, which is why special effects would have lowest dispel priority, meaning if the target has normally dispellable effects on it too then it would target those first. It would also be on a suitably long recast timer, probably 2 minutes or more. We all know Red Mage isn't getting anything without crappy mechanics like this attached.

Virus - Inflicts plague on the target

Plenty of other ways to inflict plague or other forms of tp reduction, seems reasonable to ask for it.

Here's one I haven't seen yet:

Enrage (aka Berserk) - Locks the monster onto it's current target for the duration of the spell, regardless of changes in enmity.

Yeah probably a pipe dream, but it would slap a Band-Aid on the enmity cap issues. At best it would be another long recast spell, at worst anything worth using it on would be immune.

I think you should un-scratch out virus on your OP because it's actually a great idea IMHO.

TP feed is actually a case where I think this game's battle system is flawed because it disadvantages certain play-styles in unfair ways. SE tried to address it by adding subtle blow mechanics but I still don't think it went far enough. So I would like to see the Virus spell become available, not only to Red Mages but to White and Blue mages as well. Possibly even more jobs too.

The enrage spell sounds cool also, so long as it had a fairly long recast timer which you pointed out it would. Though I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with this game's enmity system.

I have to concur with the previous poster though that the dispel II ability would probably be too powerful.
