none. This could almost be done throughout the entire game, beer

(now more expensive) Familiar in mind.

---Lame name, when I read the effect I thought of the D&D
spell Mirror Image where the first strike hits the Mirror Image
not the wizard, thereby doing him no harm, i.e. remove the last
line about placing the Arrows on the archer stuff, that's lame
too. Then Mirage just might work. Other wise it's a type of missile
Reflect spell that could be abused. Lets encourage Archers in
the game, not hinder them, there weak as it is... (SLDWeb Note:
This spel used to "bounce" the arrows back at the archer
in question.)

- >Level Two
- >Charm
---A note needs to be made when this "Charmed" SA needs/can
be used? That A or one later on, and if so, can the true owner
use the "Charmed" SA before this spellcaster can.
-

- >Gate
---I like it! More encouragement to get those spellcasters up
into the battle, so they can "Gate" in other disks.
Nice anti-magic/Dwarf idea... (SLDWeb Note: This spel used to
distroy disks immune to magic.)

---Mind Block is much better... (SLDWeb Note: This makes it all
worth while :-)

---Right James, its a cheap teleport for 4 disks... Level III
@ 8 -pt
-

- >Level Three
- >Disarm
---Seems to be a counter for Alternation and Reflect, but why
the super high level? I'd say make a Level II at least and a
little cheaper, say 4 pt.

---Nice, costly, but nice.
-

- >Quake
---Nice, but costly again. Level III is good for the power disk
that is needed to cast this power spell, but make it cheaper
so folks will use it. Say 7 like Teleport and Displacement.

- >New Terrain
---I was thinking about "Faction Terrain," before I
saw that others post...I like the idea. Moreover, the Flyers
have way to many benefits as it is...
-
- >
- >Cavern
---Bonus for Miners at least (who made the tunnels anyhoo...),
if not all the Dwarves. Borrowers in general could get bonuses
here too.
-
- >
- >Chasm
---OK, but one more hiding place for Flyers... perhaps Burrowers
could get a kamikaze bonus here?
-
- >
- >Desert
---Acolyte immunity and greater hindrance for the Mahkim. Again
a freedom for the Flyers and land-based disks get the slow stick.
-

- >R'Karg Nest
---We already have an "anti-magic" terrain, let's go
for an alignment terrain instead. Let the R'Karg Nest feed on
Neutral (factionless disks) (watch out SpiderBeast and Centaurs...)
NO COIN FLIP. Its just does the instant blow to any Good or Evil
Disk. As for Champions, well... lots of pions fell into the Pit
of Karkoon (sp?) in Star Wars, but the one and only hero/Champion
to do so was Boba Fett (and in the books he gets out alive...)
So they are Immune. (Great for those low level/weaker Champions)
As for the exact verbiage ... go for it. It makes it an Advocate
of Purity.

- >Swamp
---Bonus for the Mahkim is greatly needed here. This is their
turf. Anti-flyer as mentioned is not a bad idea if you've ever
been in a swamp before... lots of trees and stuff overhead.

- >Village
---Bonus terrain for Neutral Disks... At least the Peasants and
the Heretic.
