[QUOTE="Nevaroth, post: 6912844, member: 6861262"] Hello everyone. What do you think about these custom spells, and this special ability I made? Are they too strong? too weak? too pointless? or just right? The ability I made is for a player's character who spent 2 years being experimented on by an evil organization that delves into dark magic. These experiments over the 2 years gave her this ability. Its made for any class and the player's character is lvl 11 right now.
