Spells On is really mostly useful because spells can be free to keep up, I think - if they aren't free to maintain, it's not as important of a control.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-71513220171660645052013-04-17T09:46:45.689-04:002013-04-17T09:46:45.689-04:00I've been toying with replacing "maintain...I've been toying with replacing "maintain the spell for free" with "increase the duration" mechanics.
