Combat Update: Where did the Light Spell Go???

[Llywylln]

I didn't realize that the new spell system would eliminate something as basic as the Light Spell. is this an oversight or does it come in as a choice later? i don't see any utilities in the lists...

My guess is they have to slightly rewrite any/all of the existing spells to work with the spell system modifications they made for this update (probably data structure stuff).

Good news is there actually is not only a light spell, but now there is a variation of light spell for each spell school so that you don't *have* to study fire magic to cast light. These spells do unlock later in the progression though, but we're watching all feedback in case some adjustments on when spells unlock need to be made :)

Well I am at Lvl 13 Fire branch and have not had any option to learn or research any light spell. It would be nice if it came earlier thanks.

This game is called Archmage Rises... All of my Gamer instincts, honed over decades of play, find it ridiculous that the first spell a new student learns is a Lightning bolt... but they can't make a simple light.

Just give them the Light spell with their level one attack spell. Torches are for people who don't use magic.

Hmmm... good point. Looking into it.
