ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I've been experimenting with Arcane Blade, based entirely on lightning. Works well, except for fact that Thunderstorm constantly hits the player as he walks around. And I haven't got movement bonus or stepup yet! If I did, because Thunderstorm travels so slowly, I'd kill myself faster than anyone else did.

I think the spell speed needs to be MUCH higher.

Ok, more experimenting, and I think I'm not walking into it, but the radius 1 hit when I'm adjacent to an npc is what is killing me. This makes no sense, that a spell damages you as much as everyone else!

Fixed; made it respect spell shaping

But in b43, if you stand next to someone it strikes you as well. Arcane Blades don't have access to spell shaping. I think it should simply not hit the player.
