I don't want to reveal them all, but so far there were two offensive powers.

A rainbow power that randomly afflicts you.

A maze power--being trapped in it effectively removes you from the game until you escape it. You disappear and can't be contacted or scried I guess. I guess there's a timer--if you don't get out something bad happens. I guess this is a good way to neutralize somebody and escape.

(Hey, I think I was the one who put this under ideas IIRC).

Something tells me Bards will be a little more effective.

Haven't seen the mage powers yet.

Chaos rays? w00t.gif

Ialie's almost become a pseudo-dominatrix right now with people in Serenwilde wanting to be "beat up" by here awesome powers.

Okay, that's a scary thought. laugh.gif

Vix, probably more akin to "the most excellent prismatic spray", to borrow from Jack Vance (the originator of that D&D stuff) though it's mostly mental afflictions.

Freaking awesome.

Phantomsphere - So. Damn. Cool.

I'm so happy I can post on a forum!

Ooooh... that maze power sounds way nifty!

I was trying to use realitycheck in the maze but it didn't work, guess that's for Phantasms.

AFAIK, the rainbow power Ialie used is room-based, I think, so it might be more like the wall/sphere than the spray.

ALL of these abilities look amazing! I'm not going to be the first to tell everyone what all of them do, mostly because it makes me more powerful if none of you know, but trust me when I say that bards and mages are both likely to be very happy (but not OP, just more fun).

We've got at least three versions of the colour attacks. Single target, room, and ongoing single target, looks like.

I keep hearing in DoK that the skills arn't so good. Post them so we can stop relying on hearsay! tongue.gif

Glamours has mini-deepsleep, sort of.

The Phantasms skill list. Credit to Morvior for providng the list, and myself for editing it to be Wikiable.

Avaerin has a Glamours list too. I was tempted to post it here, posing as some kind of a saviour, and an all-knowing one to that... but meh. Just read the wiki!

It seems like the skillset gives a lot of power to spies and spying.

Illusions has always been the best skillset for spies and spying.
Unknown2007-05-25 19:22:32
Now that I'm reading the skill, it reminds me a lot of DnD's wizard crowd control spells, like Glitterdust for example (the most broken 2nd level spell). Very powerful - blaster-mages are underpowered and crude (in DND!), and more subtle than just spamming magic missile or fireball.
Unknown2007-05-25 19:23:57
The Glamours skill list looks censor.gif AWESOME.
Sylphas2007-05-25 19:28:18
I can't honestly say I have any clue how it'll work in combat, but Illusions is far more deadly than it used to be. That's not saying much, of course, but at the very least, it's incredibly cool.

Ooo phantasms look so drool-worthy too @_@
