Description: Just pointing something out...

I was looking over the list and I saw healing light. It's name and description:
Healing Light - Slowly heal a target's wounds over time. Only available to holy elemental characters and clerics, drains user's stamina like a charge ability.
I was wondering, why would a cleric want Healing Light, if they already have it? With the P.skills Fireball and Gale, it's understandable, (though I doubt many mages would choose these two) because they drain less stamina and are quicker to cast. So again, and overall, why would a cleric want Healing Light if they already have it as a spell? ^_^ Thank you for your time. :lol:

Yeah, that's something I didn't exactly make clear. Like Fireball and Gale, the rest of the spells are also kind of wimpy in nature. So unlike Holy Ankh, Healing Light works over a longer period of time to get the same result. A cleric might want it because, also like the other spells, it drains less stamina.

Personally, I liked the old system better. The new system's alright, but I liked that you could make your own p.skill before, as long as its believable. (Unless I missed something about those skills just being along with made up ones.)

Well, you can still create your own skills, but now it's just three of them. The thinking was that, with five original skills per character, we'd see a bunch of good ideas initially, and after a while every skill would start to seem like someone else had already taken it. This would eventually result in skills either being pathetic, or really weird. As is it now, characters still have some decent skills to fall back on if they can't think of anything new, or want something really generic but still characterful. I mean, it stands to reason that there wouldn't be just one non-elf in Hypeltheon who's acrobatic.
So there's the reasoning for that. What I was just trying to say is also in the P.Skills board, so if the above makes no sense you can always check elsewhere, or just ask here for more clarification.

Ahhhh, Alright. Didn't see anything where it said that, sorry.
