Re: Multiple wizard missile spells
how about:
Being able to cast up to strength 3 missile spells in a turn and each additional 2 points costs an additional turn. and what happens if the caster gets interrupted? |

Re: Multiple wizard missile spells
That can work. You could borrow the GURPS rules for spell interruption, and dropped charging missile spells...

Re: Multiple wizard missile spells
How about casting up to level 3 missile spells is perfectly safe, but over that you have to start making 4,5 dice saves vs IQ to avoid damage from the extra power that is flowing through you?
So an IQ 14 mage casting a 5 dice lightning rolls 5d vs IQ, fails with a 17 and takes 3 damage (wounds not fatigue) herself. If the wizard dies in the casting attempt, they simply explode? :) |

Re: Multiple wizard missile spells
The name "Wizard's Wrath" suggests that it's an especially intense experience from the Wizard's perspective. Maybe it's like an Aid spell that gives the caster a 1:2 ratio on ST, and then it allows you to funnel any amount of ST into any spell while the Wrath lasts. It would function as a two turn commitment to casting a super massive spell. To stay consistent with the "Wrath" theme, neither Mana nor temp ST may be used to cast Wizard's Wrath, it must represent a visceral outburst of rage (maybe it requires an IQ test to successfully cast instead of DX, similar to berserking).

It does limit missile spells, but with some flexibility to allow for an extraordinary effort under extreme circumstances - with a risk. In the example the spell worked and would deliver 5 dice damage (if she makes her hit roll) it's just that acting as a power conduit has given her shock and burns... |
