I've got some good news and some bad news ...

>- Magician pets (elemental) will now cast minor spells (to make up for
their lack of kick)
>- New Magician spells on vendors and some Magician spells have moved to
different vendors

Symbols

Grouped with magician friend today. He was level 19, made 20. durring that
time his pet never once cast a spell

>- New enchanter whirl spell (check the vendors)

>Does anyone know what level this is for?

The big problem for Enchanters came about when a level 45 Enchanter and a
cleric (not sure of cleric level, but probably around 40ish also) got
together and was taking on stuff they shouldnt have been able to take from
usng whirl, a pet, and heal. The enchanter was able to cast whirl about 60
times (at his level the mana use was extremely negligable) one a creature
that had over 1600 hp and could take it out. The cleric just kept healing
the pet and or enchanter. Verrant moved to put a stop to this buy nerfing
the whirl so that they could not do this. If i am correct, whirl till you
hurl does NOT effect monsters over level 30, and the new whirl is needed
(which is a level 29 spell).

>- AC added to the Rune Series (Enchanter)

>Don't have it yet but at least it isn't a downgrade.

Great, but unfortunatly bugged. You cannot cast the rune spell if you have
another ac bearing spell in place (like mist or clerical holy armor)
although casting rune will still result in the loss of the Cat's Eye Agate.
suprised they missed this obvious bug, but look for it to be corrected.

And one last thing that was NOT mentioned and i think many of you will find
very nice. A new spell has been added to the Enchanter spell line. It is
level 29 spell that increases GROUP mana regeneration by 50%. This
information was found on the Words Of Enchantment message site at

Sorry this was a bit off topic, but felt that it could be information useful
to all.
