Talk:Norton's Copied Casting (3.5e Spell)

Comments
First off, I'm ok with the effect and the level boosting outside of a couple of cases. IDing the spell is trivially easy though, which I suspect is intentional, but it strikes me as weird that you can mimic magic from other traditions with it. While I'm fine with a cleric mimicking an arcane spell when cast as a magic domain spell, I don't really want wizards and clerics copying each other and druids and everyone else with the spell. I think an "arcane spell only" restriction would be thematically appropriate, with the spell being removed from the Cleric list (and probably Solidarity as well eventually). - Tarkisflux Talk 23:03, 10 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I think I'll weigh in here for the opposite, actually. The time that this spell is most amusing is when you use it to copy an opponent's spell, and you can't force your opponents to play arcane casters. Thus, in order for it to function properly in any campaign, it should really be able to copy psionics and any other casting system you can define nicely as well. --Foxwarrior 05:22, 11 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Hrm. Not being applicable much of the time is a good point. I don't know if non-arcane level limits (similar to, but not exactly, the wish spell recreation limits) would work any better or not. I may just have to swallow that one in order for it to be worth a damn. I'd still like to see it gone from the default cleric list though. - Tarkisflux Talk 05:32, 11 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Imposing that limitation also makes it clearly inferior in some ways to the mimicry version of wish, which is essentially what this simulates minus the level restriction and with the additional caveat that it has to be the turn after casting. I think the very idea from the start was that it would let you copy divine magic, psionics (which I forgot to include), and the like. - TG Cid 14:32, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
