I have fought someone, who's entire collection of attacks was within this short list: Web Charm, Splash levitation potion, Splash dwarf potion, push, thrustkick, use of snake runes on ground, and I believe, a summon charm.
Sure this is a assortmant of attacks, but they all serve one of two purposes, to either change what location I am in, or to prevent me from mounting defences against them moving me.
What creativity in this is there? I have sat away from these people in their staves for around 5 minutes, while in a challenge, and they don't budge. Where in this is there skill? I could create a syetem that does it for me, all I might have to do is set the target.
I agree with Fistandantilus's point, make staves drain mana, I also see the point of of city defence staves not draining mana, I ahree with that as well, as long as the staves hold loyalty to the city in whom they harm.
