Summary0004741: Circle of fire too weak --- blocked by platforms
DescriptionI think circle of fire should be able to go through platforms --- not being able to kill something on the other side of a solid wall makes a lot of sense to me, but as it currently works the spell is almost useless. If you're standing in the middle of even a small platform, it blocks about a third of the spell's circle of effect, with the result that the spell now seems to be useful only if you're standing in a direct horizontal line with your target or in midair. I think the spell needs to be rebalanced a bit toward the powerful side; it's very cool when it works. I think the same is true of ice cross, but I haven't been trying to use it.

What kind of platform are you referring to?

Sorry, that was a bit late at night; I meant ladder, the ones that are seeded in caves and other places with a lot of climbing.

Okay, I gotcha -- yeah, those should not be blocked by ladders, I'll check on that.

Do you have an example of this? Because I can't duplicate it...

Oh, gosh, I was dumb --- realized I was just too close to the floor and it was getting cut off normally. Sorry about that.

No worries! Glad to have it figured out, anyway. :)
