Report #115
Skillset: Wicca Skill: New
 Org: Moondancers Status: Completed Jan 2009
Furies' Decision:
Approved.
Problem: Summoning fae takes a decent amount of time, especially when
considering when at trans Wicca, there's about 13 fae or so to summon at 4
seconds eq for each. That's 52 seconds for a full fae set, disregarding
mushrooms and dryad.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Create a new skill where a wiccan can FAESUMMON ALL
 or something similar which summons all fae that
 follow in an entourage. So all fae besides mushrooms
 and dryad. On Ethereal, it would cost 3-5 power while
 on prime it'd cost 10 power. A lengthy eq time would
 also be appropriate, probably around 10 second
 recovery.

Excellent idea, but if it originally costs 52 seconds, the 'quick version'
should cost around half that - 25 seconds of eq taken. You still only have to
input one command.

25-seconds off-eq, Synl? If they go with an EQ recovery that long, I'd hope
they make it unforceable.

Well, my only concern is how quickly a wiccan can return to a fight with this
change. Perhaps not the biggest concern, but I commented!
---[Sarrasri on 1/4 @ 03:01 writes]:
How fast a wiccan returns to a fight with this change is pointless, since fae
don't disappear on death unless someone kills them. This is more of a
convenience change so it doesn't take ages to begin with, since it already takes
long enough with all the other defenses to put up along with fae. I spend 4 sec
eq to get fae back after dying unless they're killed.

Well, yea, I was talking about killing the fae. Still, I suppose I was slightly
off my rocker with that original comment. Good change.

Fine by me

Sounds good to me.

Works for me

I would say a 5 power minimum to summon all on ethereal. The similar instance
are spiritbonding, which are all free and take 30 seconds to full do the ones
that you can do anywhere. Then you must travel to specific environments or wait
for certain times of the day to bond with others. This can be saved time by
spending 5 power to bond with them all, so I think 5 power to summon all 5 is
appropriate.

Sounds good. I know the trouble of waiting for a wiccan to def up and grab fae
so good chance.
