Spell Adjustments

While I can't compare to previous versions, I think the cure/heal spell adjustments are now set too weak. I notice that they seem to be cut to about half in effectiveness to that prior to adjustment. Even Major cure provides about 25-30 hit raise for my paladin. That seem pretty minor. Maybe we should even re-name Restoration to Partial Restoration since it certainly does not restore the hits.

We have brought healing spells more in line with their historic values. Restoration is not supposed to be a full heal. The fact that it has been that way was an error that has been fixed.

Items have also been brought in line. They were mistakenly casting using the players spell level and not theirs. This caused the item to be less useful at lower levels and over powered at upper levels. This has been fixed. I won't be renaming any spells any time soon.

As far as Paladin healing goes... when you get a spell at higher levels, not only does it cost more spell points to cast, it also takes longer to reach a spell level that makes the spell "kick in."

Character heal, a healer, tried to use the restoration spell tonight and it deducted spell points but added NO hits to the chars used on. Tried it several times unsuccessfully.

The Restoration spell by my healer is now working.

Just a quick follow up on this:

We are in the process of a complete rewrite of the spell progression code used for damage, kill/dispel and healing spells. This should be a further shot in the arm for spell progressions.
