Although I understand that Ignite is the spell designed for such things, I was wondering whether or not people would allow a (Force 1) Flamethrower spell to act as a 'poor man's' Ignite or if even 1P Fire Damage would be more then enough to burn the entire cig/cigar/ect to ash as well as likely burning off the foolish Mage's facial hair. (Personally I lean towards the latter, but was wondering what other people would do in their games.)
*Edit* However, I do get slightly conflicted when I think about the extra Drain that the Mage would have to resist from using Flamethrower over Ignite. *Edit 2.0* Also on a related note, what about other non-combat uses for Combat Spells? Would a (Force 1) Lightingbolt be able to jump-start a truck, ect? -------------------- Sometimes a run requires the 'soft touch' of a Minigun in a crowded mall. If you are in a place to have your Cybereyes disabled, then you are also in a place to have your mundane eyes gouged out by red hot pokers. A good mage can kill you with a single thought, but a GREAT mage has the wisdom to use his trusty predator instead. |
