This spell is seriously whacked out.

I don't know if its power is significantly mitigated by huge groups of people in the room (there were only two targets in the room when TesterPerson just cast it), but a friend of mine with skills/stats only a bit higher than mine managed to sap my character's mana entirely for 15 minutes -- with a minimum prep cast of the spell.

I really don't care if it's scroll-only. That's just insane. I wouldn't mind the disgustingly severe character-crippling potential it provides, if it actually took some significant mana input to produce those effects.

Problem with it taking a lot of mana is the scroll is already eating up likly 2/3s of their reserve <g>. And there's a chance of blowing your arms off every cast... course I haven't played with it yet. Whats the min prep?

5. Putting mana into it isn't an issue when you can use cambrinth for the majority of it.

Pointless since you'll lose the scroll as soon as you depart anyway. WOooo <shakes his hands at you in a boogety boogety way>

Someone stated this spell is a room cast, is that right? The scroll description gives me the impression it is a person vs person cast.

It is, in fact, a room-affect spell.

Greetings.

I know that to avoid typos I have a macro to HARNESS 4 so I don't do any mistake... Plus a single key is faster to hit.

Of course, if you need different amounts of mana harnessed, you can set up different macros or just harness in chunks (thus saving the mana in the room as well).
