Talk:Half ranged spell

No redundancy with half ranged skill page
This article has been flagged for deletion because of a potential redundancy with half ranged.

I disagree, the article's existence is valid on many points :
 * half ranged spell is a specific skill type (like enchantment spells), not a property or range type;
 * It participates to a new game mechanic, indeed the half ranged system;
 * About the data shown, the (half range) of spells is a specific known quantity, unlike the more fluctuating half ranged skills;
 * it is a niche system : the amount of skills shown is low (similar to what were some like teleport or cracked armor) as of now : it would have been non-existent earlier in the development cycle of the game, and it may/might evolve with further game updates;
 * There is even a specific skill interacting with that particular skill type and not with half ranged skills, hence the additionnal benefit of the list shown;
 * There is no other article to merge it with, which further anchor the need for this article to be.

 * In regards of what i just wrote, the article should be renamed to "Half Range Spell" and edited to use the Template:skill type infobox (as shown below for instance), as for the count, i'm working on it today.

Skill Type. Half range spell is a spell whose magic effects are contained within half the normal range (roughly x0.6 Danger Zone).--Leonim 06:30, 9 September 2010 (UTC)


 * It's not a skill type. It just looks like it b/c you're only reading the concise description. In the full description none of the skills have "Half ranged skill/spell" as part of the type. --JonTheMon 14:19, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I concur. Half range is a skill attribute, that behaves pretty much the same for spells as for other skills. Hence I'll be deleting this page. &mdash; Why [[Image:User Why s.png|User talk:Why]] 21:03, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
