Hello all wizards and KI admins, Seth MoonShade here.
I've come up with a marvelous idea to make insane bolt fairer to the caster. I know the 80/20 odds are supposed to mediate the drawback of instant death for the caster, but I think there is a better way to execute the spell.
My idea is to simply make it a stronger version of immolate.
It should deal 250 damage to the caster, and 1,000 damage to the enemy.
Retain pip cost of 2.
reduce accuracy to 70%.
Retain moon damage output.
Retain storm symbol when casting, as well as damage boosts/resists from clothing.
My reasoning for this is mostly symmetry in the game. Fire spells are almost as powerful as storm spells and some spells from different schools already mimic each other in some ways. I think doing this change to insane bolt will improve it, without being untrue to the specialty of the storm school.
Thanks for reading, lemme know if you like this idea!
