you realizing being able to cast multiple bolts is OP with the current mechanic. right now they are heat seeking missiles. only way that would work with the current mechanic is if you made them DD's but even that may require some other changes. the bolt line, if i remember, was supposed to be more mana efficient at the cost of the mob needing to be in position. uh not sure i worded that right but bolts were more risky to use in classic because if a mob was fleeing or what not it might miss. i think changing them to DD would require you to either increase cast time or cost of mana.

I realize the existing issues with them and I'm trying to get them fixed. From memory, bolts were not more mana efficient, but did more damage for more mana (for magicians). DD (shock) type spells did less damage for less mana, and without having to deal with bolt mechanics.

The cast time and mana costs are correct. I'm not sure what you're getting at. What is broken needs to be fixed.
