Skillset: Phantasms Skill: Phantasmagoria
 Org: Aquamancers Status: Completed Oct 2008
Furies' Decision:
We will go with solution 3.
Problem: Phantasmagoria, the trans skill of Phantasms is a not so commonly used
ability because of the high cost.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Decrease power cost from 10 to 8 or somwhere lower.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Add the stolensight phantasm to accompany the stalker.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Dissolve protection scroll defense along with a
 stalker.

This addresses a legitimate problem, but the solutions are poor all around I
think. Solution 1 and 2 don't really solve anything (I don't even understand
what would be the point of adding stolensight to this skill; maybe someone can
explain that one to me), and solution 3 is a no-no because it goes against the
entire point of protection scrolls: that the mage/druid can't strip them all at
once

To be constructive, I think the idea itself of Phantasmagoria (of an all out, 10
power feat to rip a group with) is good, and all that's really needed is an
increase in its raw, destructive power. Best way I see to do that is just have
it give claws in addition to phantoms.

Solution 3 is very powerful, also it was my suggestion. How hard would it be to
read a protection scroll right after it happens? If still to strong, maybe a
delayed dissolving protection scroll. And stolensight is alright (last time I
tried using it it was a little buggy) but the Mage would be able to Claws,
Redmask, Whisper anybody with stolensight on them. Might give use to a skill
that's very rarely used

What's the point of a skill that attacks everybody if, in order to capitalize on
it, you then have to go and individually attack each one (through stolensight)?
As for the protection stripping, what if the mage waits till the group is
actually engaged before firing phantasmagoria? Would be a little inconvenient to
re-read there

I'm not too familiar with mages, but just adding the claws effect for 10 power
wouldn't be too bad
