Rejuvenation

Lancy's Proposal -- Active Rituals

Issue

-part of my campaign for making rituals more active

Suggestion

• Rejuvenation -

10 1 10 - (Restoration Magic) - Binding Ritual. "Create a level 1...10...12 Spirit. Rejuvenation heals earshot party members for 3...9...10 Health each second. Rejuvenation dies after 6 seconds." For every 3 ranks in Spawning Power, Rejuvenation lasts 1 second longer. --Lancy1214 23:29, 23 September 2008 (UTC) --Falconeye 04:45, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Issue

Poor party heal option

Suggestion

Improve to be on par with other party heals (see discussion)

Dies too quickly

Issue

Same as above, especially considering its lifespan

Suggestion

Make it slightly slow and decrease the damage it takes. E.g.:

"Binding Ritual. Create a level 1...13...16 Spirit. This Spirit heals all party members within earshot for 2...7...8 Health each second. This Spirit loses half the total amount it heals in this way. This Spirit dies after 30...78...90 seconds."

This way it would actually have double the healing power, but it would be slower. I think this would be worth it, however, especially considering that you can then use it to fuel Mend Body and Soul et.c.. Remember that with a cast time of 3 it's not worth it if it only lives a short while (and even with only 4 ppl being healed per second, a L16 spirit will only last 8 seconds with no spawning power).

Additionally, the recharge could do with a slight decrease - maybe 25 or even 20?

As an aside, doubling the health you get also doubles the extra health you get from spawning power, giving that a much-needed if very tiny minor buff.
