focus is the equivalent tactical

also since there is a balance tag, mantle of ocean should be heavily nerfed

i use 10% and its even too much, mana discount stack too good like other things

as for another buff it cant be death, death is supposed to provide negative effects

if we want a spell dmg buff should be like water air or water fire maybe

death could have a spell reduction curse maybe

something to fight those evil dark wizards

I think the spell should reduce the mana cost by 25 % and should have a maintenance cost of 1.

Horrific Wail is overpowered, because as a level 10 caster you inflict 30 points of BASE damage. If you have the Warlock profession, the Path of the Mage trait and the Evoker III trait you inflict 83 points of damage.

I think ocean's mantle is just fine. Life and Water are two of the least offensive spelltraits in the game. It is perfect for a mostly-buffer type character.

The same spell would be crazy OP if you did a fire/death character, for example.

Until you get Water 4 and Blizzard ...
