Some ideas.
- A freezing spell that gives them slow strike for one turn (at the cost of reduced damage)
- A lightning based spell that stuns them for one turn (but deals no damage at all?)
- Some sort of aura/shield? I'm extremely disappointed that no such spells exist. There are SO MANY possibilities on how to use auras that only effect certain areas.
- Weather/terrain changing spells - create a swamp that slows people who run/blink, make it snow to give everything in an area slow strike
I'm tired of fireball and I never play casters as a result, which is incredibly sad to me because I love magic-based classes. Speaking of which, why no spellblades?!
