    [dev1206] AoE changes

    Magic spells have been unified to strike either a single target or, in the case of AoE, a circular area. Attack range has also been increased, and area of effect broadened.
    * Discrepancies between thaumaturges and conjurers no longer exist in the above areas.
    So Cone-based AoE is dead. Meanwhile, Circular AOE is broader.

    Is this good or bad? I'm of two minds, but what does everyone else think?

    Conal AOE was good in that it made THM and CNJ more unique from each other. This provided variety, a good thing.

    Furthermore, conal AOE is good for nuking, and since THM is an offensive mage, it helped a lot.

    The only thing i liked about conal is that it will hit myself regardless, but if the broaden circular area is a big improvement, i should be ok with it.

    I hated the differences. Mainly do to the crappy abilities that effected your radius and distance. Too much clutter

    I definitely preferred the cone aoe and its range vs. the circular aoe (and the fact that the spell doesn't hit you if you cast on someone far off).
