HALPMEH and BURNDERAYZ

Double the effect and cost of HALPMEH and half the effect and cost of BURNDERAYZ. Thank you.

I guess this is a change to encourage Wizards to use fireballs?

Two things off the top of my head though

1) With a 6 mana cost Halpmeh, it's very easy to "overheal" and waste mana.

2) With a 3/2 mana fireball, Burning Heart becomes pretty much insane. Also Transmuters can go infinite straight away but let's assume Transmuters won't remain the way it is.

Burning heart would be incredibly cheap. I have already killed a boss at level 2 with it, but now it would easily be level 1 for all bosses
We made an expansion and it is awesome. Really, you should check it out, especially if you're looking for some extra challenge.

Yeah, this could work very well. The new burning heart would stack their levelx1.5 rounded down

Even at half strength, the Burning Heart would be even more powerful than it is now, since you would be able to get it to full power twice as fast as before (30 hits to max out against a L10 monster now; 15 hits at half power, but you're hitting twice as often so you do the same amount of damage in the end). Making it non-stacking would be pointless, since we already have the Battlemage Ring. Wizards would be completely broken with cheap BURNDAYRAZ. Paladins, in the meantime, would suffer unnecessarily from the nerf to HALPMEH.

If the goal is to encourage Wizards to use fireballs more often, how about this: Wizards start with BURNDAYRAZ in their inventory, as a small item, but lose their glyph sense and other glyphs remain large items (they'll still get the usual 5 glyphs on the map, randomly selected but without an extra BURNDAYRAZ).

Good, but then they're still super weak.

Not all that weak, IMO. Give them back their +5 MP per conversion (or make it percentage-based, restoring 50% MP per conversion), maybe give them some other slight boost - e.g., their fireballs inherently pierce 25% magic resistance (probably apply that effect to APHEELSIK and WEYTWUT, too). Should be a reasonably strong class at that.

Then they would be good enough that you aren't going Bloodmage every time.
