Hi!
I was reading the most recent post around overprotection. I like the idea of a protection prayer being on the new spell book, but I would love to see two sister-spells instead. Potentially a blue icon and a red iconed spell.
Ideally the blue i ones prayer would act similar to the protection prayer on the normal spellbook, but also include a base defensive and magic bonus, but an overall offensive stat base decrease to punish the user for being defensive. It could cover a wider variety of defense and protect an item on death. Potentially two items, but this would negate offensive abilities and prevent ragging.
The second red iconed prayer would work as a more offensive based spell - the player would not be able to protect an item, but would get a significant offensive boost to their attack styles for the duration of the spell being activated. The kicker here is they would also potentially risk additional gp not actively on the player that is lost on death. Potentially scaling with risked gear. To activate the spell they would have to have the gp to cover the extra loss. The same gp would be lost of pvm death, and work as a gold sink, and risked in pvp deaths. A smite effect would also be in play when activated.
I think this could give huge risk/reward potential in pvp, and also add some variety against some pvm bosses. I think it could add to the cat and mouse game of pvp in the wild. And really add extra spice when getting a pvp kill on someone being extra risky. Against pvm it could also help players get an edge or a defensive boost where needed to clear bosses.
I’d love for this on the spell book to be side by side and make almost a yin/yang style symbol with the center looking like desert treasure gems.
Thanks for reading, super open to feedback- also please let me know if there’s a better thread location and I’d be glad to migrate this.
