What about the legend spells like fish. I never used them. Should they be improved?

I don't know, honestly. Never felt the need to use them with the warrior in vanilla. They appear late in the game, anyway. And I have not found them in Trent, yet.

I suggest reading GhoulKing spells analysis for a reference:

Yep, all seem balanced, except the Invisible set which sounds OP. The ghost sword for example is rather OP. -50% physical resistance is a lot.

By the way I tried some of these items in vanilla and they appeared to be broken. For example, Ray of light didn't work. Or at least didn't seem to work. The HUGE attack bonus wasn't noticeable at all.

It looks like they were only made to spice up the game without worrying too much about balance. They were part of Crossworlds addons.

I just checked code for ghost sword. It halves physical resistance not subtract. Still op?
Could reduce to 25% reduction

Using your spell link to balance even more. Life light costed 50.000!!! I reduced the mana as well etc

Good to know!
Not sure about such a big project. Actually I'm working on a smaller project with Terroin, an even shorter campaign in Xworld, inspired by the Huntiro mod with all possible creatures from all the KB releases, plus some more. He just made a 'Gold Dragon' whith NO battleskill but gives a certain amount of gold after battle.
It is more a fun project we make together, don't know if we release it. Right now, he is working on the 10 races. The 10 medals equals the 10 races (instead of Statregian, Dragonslayer; then Orcs-killed, Lizard-killed etc). And you can win the game by fullfilling all medals by killing X armies from each race. You can also win by defeating the last boss. 2-3 different ways of winning. We'll see how it goes, so far I mapmake, and he mod. But right now, I'm onto Trent update-making;

I will use the balancing of items and spells in the small project I talked about, the project is called 'Kvulm' ... like strange silly names, lol. It doesn't mean anything, even in my language, Danish.


About next release, having a balance look at the spells in Trent, this is what I have changed.

Spell balancing, inspired by GhoulKing's old 1C post about Crossworld spells, listening to his view, also if I never use a spell, well... time to look at it:

ORDER:
- Dragonslayer: Mana 5-8-22 (was 5-10-25). Crystal 2-3-12 (was 2-5-25).
- Demonslayer: Mana 5-8-22 (was 5-10-25). Crystal 2-4-15 (was 2-5-20).
- Resurrection: Crystal 8-12-20 (was 10-15-25).
- Divine Armor: Duration 3-3-4 (was 2-3-4). Resistances 15-22-30 (was 20-25-30). Mana 12-18-24 (was 15-20-30).
- Life Light: Price 14k (was 50k). Mana 8-15-22 (was 10-20-30). Crystal 3-6-14 (was 4-8-16).
- Battle Cry: Crystal 3-6-9 (was 3-12-20).
- Ice Thorns: Only as scrolls, cannot be learnt (cost 1000 Crystal now since it was broken, summons in a 15 cell area!). Price 1500.
- Earth Blades: Mana 18-28-38 (was 25-35-50). Crystal 8-14-22 (was 10-20-30). Price 16k (was 10k).
- Gizmo: Only as scrolls, cannot be learnt (cost 1000 Crystal now). Price 1000. Damage 200% more, Heal 300% more.

CHAOS:
- Fishes: Crystal 5-10-15 (was 10-15-20).
- Stone Rain: 20% more Damage. Mana 12-25-35 (was 30-35-45). Crystal 5-10-15 (was 10-15-20).
- Soul Drain: Kills 13-23-33% (was 10-20-30). Mana 8-17-28 (was 10-20-40). Crystal 5-15-25 (was 10-20-30).
- Fire Rain: 7% Burn (was 5%). Crystal 5-8-20 (was 7-10-25).
- Death Star: Mana 25-32-38 (was 30-40-50). Crystal cheaper too.

U can use the Gizmo or Icethorn scrolls in tough battles, for instance icethorns against the Boss Spider... I will place a few in shops, but random if you find them.. and not too early.

What do u think of Divine ARmor, I never used it...
The last 2 are The Legend spirit spells. Earth Blades hit all enemies....
Often in Xworld singletarget spells are used if using damaging spells, IMO, maybe except from Amageddon. Hope Earth Blades can be an alternative to Amageddon.

Coming back with more on Distortion magic later. We'll keep an eye on changes... often I use same tactic over and over again... so perhaps new ones will appear now.

Fine. Yes, I have used this spell several times. If I remind correctly, it's the only option you have when you want to raise your resistance to elements like poison or fire.

Pet chests: I leave it for now, was just a thought. It's just kind of repetive, digging twice each battle...

Divine Armor: Yes, think it is only way to raise all resistances. It was too expensive before though. In vanilla it was 30 mana at level 3... I never used it. Did you use it when it was expensive, or was it in The LEgend? Ghoulking's "spell guide" said it was more useful mana-wise in The Legend than Xworld. In general, I used his guide - as you suggested - it was very helpful. I guess, I tend to use spells like a habit... so some spells might be good, but never came around them, like Turn-back-time.

Pet spells: I'm eager to see how the cheaper Grot's Armor and Orb works regarding balance and if players actually use it. Also the 3 spells that cannot be learnt but only used as scrolls to cast to get an edge: Icethorns, Stone Rain and Gizmo. They cost 1000-2000 with bigger damage than they would have as level 1 spells. The spells cost 1000 crystals to learn, that's how I did it...

Right now, I'm focused on adding new items and sets.
