Message: <blockquote data-quote="Michael Morris" data-source="post: 641425" data-attributes="member: 87"> Changes Made to Initial Post!!Since Lobotomy is referenced I'll repost it here in an editted form...LobotomyEnchantment (Metamagic) [Mind-Affecting]Level: Blue 5, Drd 5, Sor/Wiz 5Components: V, SCasting Time: One ActionRange: TouchTarget: Creature touchedDuration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: NoneSpell Resistance: YesName a spell and make a touch attack. If the touched creature has the named spell prepared, he loses all preparations of the spell and the ability to cast the spell as if it where not on his spell list. If the creature does not have the spell prepared the lobotomy is wasted.Sorcerers and bards, who do not prepare spells, are immune to this spell.The effect of this spell requires a restoration or greater magic to undo.To make this change make sense, the broken, broken feeblemind spell has to move to make room for this "discard" theme.  Tolerating the spell at 5th level is one thing, but when a spell is blocking other balanced spells from being coined, it's time for it to be moved and changed....FeeblemindEnchantment (Metamagic) [Mind-Affecting]Level: Black 7, Druid 8, Sor Wiz 7Components: V, S, MCasting Time: One RoundRange: MediumTarget: One creatureDuration: InstantaneousSaving Throw: Will negates (see text)Spell Resistance:The subject is rendered incapacle of employing spells, spell-like abilities, psionics, or supernatural abilities.  The creature's Intelligence is dropped 1d4 points / level of the caster, to a minimum of 3.  The creature remains in this state until a restoration or more powerful magic is used upon the creature.Material Component: A handful of clay, crystal, glass or mineral spheres.Again,  feeblemind has to be moved in order to make the other "discard" spells make sense for their levels.  Why use lobotomy or mind rot to remove the ability to use one spell at 5th level, when feeblemind can nix them all?  Persecute is 6th level, any lower and it's broken - yet feeblemind is more powerful at 5th??  Yes, feeblemind doesn't remove the spells from memory, but it does remove the ability - and even persecute doesn't block characters from preparing new spells later on.  So feeblemind is moved to make it's power comparable to the existing spells instead of letting it be a "legacy" spell completely out of whack with other 5th level spells....Now, with it out of the way and the other spell rip spells lifted in level other "discard" spells can be coined.</blockquote>
