Official Move Approval IV

[ElFailzalot]

Zio - Ranged Proficiency - 300 OM

A simple offensive spell that creates a lightning bolt in the caster's grasping hand, measuring two meters in length and three centimeters in diameter. The bolt travels as quickly as an arrow and delivers a powerful shock, but is incapable of stunning. Has a casting time of two seconds, and is incredibly accurate only to the 15 meter mark, becoming unreliable at longer distances. Casting the spell once is mildly strenuous, and extensive use can lead to extreme fatigue. The mental effort required stops the caster from simultaneously casting other spells, but otherwise leaves them free to move around.


Dia - Healing, Ranged Proficiency, Homing Proficiency - 300 OM

A simple single target recovery spell that envelopes its target in a healing light, patching up minor injuries and momentarily dulling the feelings of pain and fatigue. The closer a target is, the less the effort needed to heal them, to a maximum range of forty meters. Can be applied to both moving and stationary targets. Has a casting time of three seconds, during which the caster can move around, but not activate other spells. The energy requirement is such that repeated castings can cause extreme exhaustion, but is tolerable when used sparingly.

Now that you've pointed it out I realize that I've basically been trying to limit Zio's OP-ness instead of actually fairly balancing it, sorry about that.

I'm also  really sorry about Dia because I decided to postpone getting the Healing Prof for later, so I'll probably not purchase it right now.  :froggonk:

In an effort to give Mark a bit of a break, as he's been going nuts on these move approvals, lemme take a crack at these.

Zio -- Looks mostly good now. Other details to note though that would be useful know:
-- It's accurate only out to 15 meters, but what's the limit on range? Could always get a lucky shot out of its accurate range, after all.
-- Just a curiosity: casting time of two seconds, can it be interrupted or interfered with? If someone were to say knock him flat on his ass would it mess up his focus on creating the lightning bolt?

Dia -- Alright. Looking good. Just one last thing to note here: how long does the healing effect actually last? The target is enveloped with a healing light, as you say, and the casting time is three seconds, but how long do they get the nice heal-y effect? And the second point from my query about Zio is also of note: can the casting be interrupted by a crafty/cruel opponent?
