Summary0004662: Ball of Light is too expensive
DescriptionBall of Light costs 50 MP at level 1. Thats about 5% of your starting mana pool.
Most offensive spells cost 30 or less.

It seems strange that a non-combat spell that is extremely useful in low light situations that are prevalent in the game would burn so much of your resources.

Its not a big issue, but it is resulting in me having to spend a lot of time using the minimap to navigate dark rooms, burning through my mana potions every couple of minutes, or having to return to town every couple of minutes.

It's a good point, it should be cheaper. That said, ball of light is really inferior to Emit Light scrolls in pretty much every way, I think.

Thats true, i forgot about those scrolls. Well, that'll speed things up a bit, thanks!

You bet! I still need to make these cheaper, but Emit Light will make things a lot more pleasant for you, I expect, in general.

I like ball of light, myself, but then I've always been a little bit odd.

* Ball Of Light now costs 10 MP instead of 50.
