​

Spellsword is a wizard skill focused around dealing lots of melee damage. While a wizard skill, it is designed for gish-style characters (that is, warrior/wizards).

​

Magic in the Blood​

You have a history of wizards in your ancestry, but you've turned from your heritage and are focused on more martial pursuits.​

(deals some damage to you to regain mana)​

​

​

Arcane Strike​

You can focus your magic into your attacks, hitting harder and more accurately.​

(spend mana to deal extra damage)​

​

​

Cyclonic Shield​

You can summon winds to surround you and shield you from incoming attacks.​

(brittle buff that gives some resistances)​

​

​

Arcane Channeling​

Your attacks drain arcane energies from your foes and energize you.​

(on hit, chance of drain hp and restore mana)​

​

​

Words of Power​

With but a word, your voice pushes foes away from you and saps their strength.​

(close burst that debuffs and knocks back)​

​

​

Arcane Might​

Arcane energies travel through you like water through a fountain. Your melding of sword and spell is unparalleled.​

(expensive self-buff that triggers arcane strike, hideous blow, and/or awesome blow on-hit, also provides some passive bonuses)​

 

Dl'd, review tomorrowish.

 

Love the write up and sound of it. won't be DL'ing it for a while (super busy), but great idea!

 

Have you thought of collecting your mods into a pack for easy handling?

 

Yeah, I will when I get some more done on the items mod.

 

Love it! Blends quite nicely in my playstyle
Also, are you making a reference to Fus Ro Dah with Words of Power?

 

Among other things, yes.

 

How do I get this to work?

Just D/L and throw the folder into the gaslamp games>mods folder?

 

Download it and put the .zip in c:/users/[your username]/documents/gaslamp games/mods/

 

Is there something wrong if the mods folder isn't there, or does it need to created?

 

you have to create the folder "mods"

 

Not to belittle this, but it seems a LOT like warlockery....

 

Darn Blood Mage and Ley Lines. So pointless to have both when each gives me mana. You do know that the last 5 skills of warlockery are centered around a polymorph, right?
