Skillset: Glamours Skill: Fireworks
 Org: Spiritsingers Status: Rejected Jun 2013
Furies' Decision:
Rejected. Fireworks is primarily a non-combat skill and will not be replaced by
a combative equivalent.
Problem: Currently, the Fireworks skill in Glamours seems no use in combat, and
only rarely in any other situation, due to power cost and its lack of effects,
as it only sets enemies ablaze, plus the effects of the BOOM are easily gagged
by reflexes.
Solution #1: Lower the powercost of fireworks to 3p, and have it strip
 sixthsense and apply afterimage to all enemies in the room. The
 afterimage wouldn't last as long as that caused by flare, much
 like how Blankchord works.
Solution #2: Add a new skill (or replace Fireworks) called Chromatic Orb, for
 5p which summons an orb of pulsing colour in the room which on a
 tic, removes sixthsense and applies afterimage to all enemies in
 the room.
Solution #3: Solution 2 but Summoning an Orb prevents the summoning of a
 ColourMaelstrom and vice versa.

Remember that Fireworks is not only in glamours- there is an artifact that
provides it as well (the Sparkatron). So you'd be providing the new effect of
Fireworks to all classes potentially.

Exclude the change from the artifact then, or create the new skill instead.

I like solution 1, but with a more appropiate powercost, 3p just isn't enough.
Maybe like 7p (with afterimage lasting the same amount as individual afterimage)

I prefer Synkarin's version.

Synkarin's solution or Sol. 2 sound good to me.

What would the tic on solution #2 be? As afterimage is now quite a long
affliction, I feel the tic would have to be quite long, or else it would just be
permanent after-image in a room.

Synkarin's solution preferred too.

I like Synkarin's solution best.
