[QUOTE="Shiroiken, post: 6605484, member: 6775477"] Since you've already given permission, I wouldn't take it away (but I wouldn't have given it out in the first place). You can modify the agreement, which should be acceptable by the player. I would consider limiting the overall number of spells he can convert, and limit what spells can be chosen. Zapping Ray shouldn't really be game breaking, nor Melf's Minute Meteors (which is a Concentration spell). Lightning Ball, Wall of Lightning, and any other large AOE spells should be a big fat NO! I would say that he can only convert 1 spell to lightning damage for every spell that naturally deals lightning damage. This should keep him from going crazy and breaking the game (which he doesn't sound like he is doing anyway).
