Elemental Court Wizard Rework - Livicus

[Livicus]

In response to https://forum.imperium42.com/t/court-wizard-contest/54572?u=livicus

I’m going for a balanced, well structured Court Wizard and Sage around the theme of elemental magic.

Just a note: Ice Ward also blocks occupation along with everything else, in case you’re really worried that it’s not in Light Barrier.

Light Barrier only blocks abilities that are on scum classes, so that Court Wizard can’t be confirmed by other BD members’ actions.

The Court Wizard

Blue Dragon Support

Passives

Fragile Magic:
If your Tornado targets at least one identical player as another Tornado or Teleport, all collided Tornados and Teleports will fail. You will not be notified that your Tornado failed.

Abilities

Ice Ward: (D) (2)
Encase another player in a shield of ice. All visits to them will be prevented tonight. (Cannot target self)

Light Barrier: (D) (oo)
Choose a player. They will be protected from all negative effects for the rest of today and tonight. (The Barrier will continue to stay on the player until this ability is used to move it to a different player.) (Cannot target self)

Tornado: (N) (3)
Summon a great wind around two players and swap their positions, causing all players who target one to target the other. Bypasses redirect immunity.

Light Barrier Specifics

Concerning Circle of Death: If a Court Wizard Light Barriers a target the Sorc uses CoD on, the CW’s Barrier will stop the CoD, preventing it from taking effect.

Concerning Poss Control: You cannot prevent the person dying to a possessed player as a CW. But a CW’s Barrier can prevent the Possessor from possessing a player into killing another player.

Negative Effects:

• Icy Touch
• Possessor Control
• Circle of Death Target
• Distract
• Troll Box
• Frame
• Mind Warp
• Mental Blur
• Forked Lightning
• Earthen Roots
• Bewilder
• Defile
• Drug
• Conversion

DOES NOT INCLUDE

• Attacks
• Heals
• Guards
• Imprison
• Social Effects
• Empowering
• Occupation
• Redirection
• Investigation
• Poison/Bleeding
• Brotherhood/Dark Wisp

The Sage

Unseen Offensive

Passives

Fragile Magic:
If your Teleport targets at least one identical player as another Tornado or Teleport, all collided Tornados and Teleports will fail. You will not be notified that your Tornado failed.

Abilities

Forked Lightning: (D) (2)
Shock two players and cripple them. They will not be able to use any Day Abilities for the rest of the day. (Day Abilities means instant-effect abilities, not Prince’s Jail or Sheriff’s Scout, which have delayed effects)

Wall of Fire: (D) (2)
Create a wall of fire outside a player’s door. All non-Unseen visits to them will be prevented tonight.

Tornado: (N) (oo)
Summon a great wind around two players and swap their positions, causing all players who target one to target the other. Bypasses redirect immunity.

Earthen Roots: (N) (2)
Choose a player and cause the ground to wrap around their feet. If they visit tonight, they will be prevented from visiting.

(Shows as you were prevented from visiting target)

The Ritualist

Cult Support

Passives

Fragile Magic:
If your Teleport targets at least one identical player as another Tornado or Teleport, all collided Tornados and Teleports will fail. You will not be notified that your Tornado failed.

Will of Mithras:
If you are sacrificed, the Cult Leader gains 3 uses of Eradicate instead of 2.

Abilities

Brotherhood: (D) (2)
Select a member of the Cult and make them appear Blue Dragon tonight.

Shroud of Corax: (N) (1)
Cast a shadow over a member of the Cult. You will protect them and prevent any visits to them.

Teleport: (N) (2)
Teleport two players and swap their positions, causing all players who target one to target the other. Bypasses redirect immunity.

@Livicus

Choose a Cult member and guarantee that their action bypasses all immunity tonight. Does not bypass prevention.

Please stop buffing cult!!!
The thing that stops investigations is great

[Livicus]

Cult is already most underpowered though, and is that a meme?

[Firekitten]

Cult can replace there leader and learn how to kill and convert in a single day.

Assasin can only learn how to Brain wash
Someone till d3

[Livicus]

I mean balance wise xD

But okay, I’ll just leave out Ritualist stuff

[Firekitten]

I am always picky about cult buffs

It’s just me

[Livicus]

I mean Cult is pesky, sure, but Unseen has better KPN and Conversion to Kill rates, because MM is all about converting and Assassin is all about killing.

[MaximusPrime]

Cult had a much higher winrate than unseen in the tournament last weekend I believe

[Livicus]

Okay you got me xD

[Livicus]

Anyone else want to contribute stuff to this? I know that Court Wizard reworks are flooding the forums at the moment

[NightX]

@Livicus

Choose a player and imbue them with renewed spirit. If they are using a limited ability tonight, they will recover the use at the start of the next night. Does not notify target.

How are they not aware of not spending an ability? Too confirmable.

@Livicus

Encase a player in a shield of ice. All visits to them will be prevented tonight.

Kinda overkill with the main power.

[Livicus]

They aren’t spending a limited night ability every night, and I’m trying to make this different, you know I try not to make things too confirmable. Also, it delays any feedback they could receive for a day, so it’s not an instant thing like Phys Heal, or CW Barrier + Butler/Drunk Occupation

But I still think Ice Ward is a core component of the whole thing, Court Wizard is heavily underpowered at the moment.

[Livicus]

Okay well, what else?

I like more feedback

[NightX]

Sage and Ritualist wouldn’t need reworks.

Insufficient Mushrooms

[Livicus]

I just gave some more stuff kinda, well Ritualist is just one Mark of Mithras, but that’s only the plan if Ice Ward is going through, if not then yeah, that wouldn’t be needed. But it’s also fun to add some elemental stuff to Sage, to be more of a hinderance.

@Livicus

Mark of Mithras: (D) (1)

Mark a player with Mithras’ blood, and all non-Cult visits to that player will be prevented tonight.

I’d prefer Shroud of Corax: Cast a Shadow over a player and all non-cult visits will be prevented
and 2 uses would be better.

[Livicus]

There’s lots of Ritualists though, so 1 use is already overpowered, and that’s only happening if this Ice Ward suggestion goes through, which I’m expecting is unlikely, as there are lots of better suggestions for Court Wizard out there

[Livicus]

Can some more people come and blow my Court Wizard to bits so it gets stronger

[Firekitten]

@Livicus

Icy Touch
Distract

Your going slow low to prevent a 10 second distract for happening? Shameful

[Livicus]

I’m expecting Distract to be buffed, no one uses it
