Spell:
Throwing Knives
Suggestion:
I'm not sure if this counts as being a spell suggestion or not, but it takes up a precious hotbar space, so screw it!
Make throwing knives actually useful, and fix their tooltip. The highest tier throwing knife (Mythril, taking 5 Mythril chunks to create) does 1.7x Power damage, but this is listed as 1.3x or 1.7x depending on whether you're melee or magic, which has been removed. Knives are not homing and they're on a 5s cooldown, with a 1x1 hitbox and a fairly slow movement speed. It costs 0 mana, so I guess that's a benefit?
HOWEVER
Right now, Mana Ripple, a free spell that you get right out of character creation, is not homing, is on a 7 second cooldown, has a 3x3 hitbox and moves fairly quick. It deals 7x Power damage. It ALSO costs 0 mana.
For something that you have to expend resources to use and which are extremely limited, throwing knives are pretty damn useless. They shouldn't be too strong, but maybe you could make them actually worth slotting over literally anything else? Give them a boost in damage, maybe, and make them homing? I'm not sure.
