[✗] [Amendment] Arcane Scion amendment in the big 2026?

[wx4927 82]

Currently

Spoiler

- An amended connection allows Arcane Scions to experience reduced voidal poisoning, and a much more subtle connection to the void, in exchange for a weakened potency in their casting- such as a 6 meter range of spellcasting, a halved manapool, and only ability to cast spells that have a mana-cost of Tier 3 and below.

 

What should change

Spoiler

- An amended connection allows Arcane Scions to experience reduced voidal poisoning, and a much more subtle connection to the void, in exchange for a weakened potency in their casting- such as a 6 meter range of spellcasting without an Arcane focus, 12 meters with an Arcane focus, and a halved manapool, only ability to cast spells that have a mana-cost of Tier 3 and below.

 - Arcane focuses do not work with Arcane Scion's abilities.

Currently

Spoiler

An Arcane Scion may not make use of Arcane Foci. The range of a Scion will remain capped at [6] meters and may not be increased by other means.

 
What should change

Spoiler

The range of a Scion will remain capped at [6] meters and may not be increased by other means except an Arcane focus, only increasing it to [12] meters and no more.

 

Purpose

Arcane Scion is pretty fine... It doesn't spark interest or intrigue in many people I know, at least besides Spellblade, and for almost quite a while, aka since I joined LOTC, I have never seen an Arcane Scion, and to kind of help me with my argument, when I was actively trying to play a spellblade, I was encouraged not to play an Arcane Scion... Anyways, so I went with Templarism instead... What I'm trying to say is something within Arcane Scion needs to change, but realistically I can't do it; I don't have the experience to do it, the mental endurance, etc. So what I'm doing instead is trying to allow them to use Arcane focus. Does this give them more range to use their spells? Yes. Does this make more people want to play it? Probably not. Does it make it overpowered? Hahahaha, noooooooooooo, IT DOESN'T! John Arcane Scion won't be casting nuclear missiles/THE SUN across the map!!

You are increasing the power of the feat with little justification when it is already rather strong as is.

You are most likely correct that I didn't explain too much but I do not think it's strong. There are several other things in the server that outclass it and are more possible to gain and this is just nothing compared to that stuff

 I apologize to everyone; I now understand
