Change "Detonate" to "Draw Essence"
Posted: Wed Jul 21, 2010 10:42 pm
Instead of having Detonate be restricted to some creatures that would logically do something when they explode, the skill could be called Draw Essence (or Subsume Essence?) and something would happen based on what summon you used it on.
For example, Draw Essence a turtle and you gain +armor for some period of time. A spider could cause nearby creatures to be entangled in spider webs. Warpers could be a blast of mana, or cause everyone nearby to be phase door'd.
Perhaps the talent level of this Spell would dictate what creatures it could affect:
Rank 1 would only affect first tier creatures: turtles, fire imps, war dogs. Rank 2 would affect 2nd tier creatures: Hydra, Spiders, Jelly. Etc etc
The idea is to basically allow for more creative uses of creatures, and increase the utility of this spell.
