Lithial

Main Points Of This Class:

I. Aid allies with a twist.

III. Damage the enemy but at a cost.

*EDIT: Background:
The Lithials, a band of menecing spell casters arise from the seams of the earth. Long ago they existed on the surface world, aiding the citizens and monsters alike. But an Evil force had corrupted their mind, they were forced under the earth's surface, occasionally breaking their barrier and leaving into the surface world under disguise. (Home: Unknown, I'm not that good with Backgrounds

, and that's... all for now? Unless someone would like to create one for them.)

A ‘Challenge’ is currently being held to see what people could see these dark spellcasters as. A link to that thread Here.

The pros:

The weapon; interesting idea, but an even better game mechanic - longer range with higher attribute hasn't been done. 'Signet of Ashira'; messing around with skill recharging hasn't been exploited yet. Trustless Words; skills which require ally sabotaging is a nice twist (although in the real world, imagine how annoying it could be).

Some cool ideas that should be wrapped into another CC or a completely revamped lithial. Why completely revamped?

The cons:

No identity; what's the background/story/explanation? No novel function; it's not apparent what new role this CC has in the battlefield and most of the skills are rehashed versions of existing ones. No continuity; the attributes have no definition and the skills have no unifying theme.

If I were you, I'd focus the CC around the weapon mechanic and skill recharge/time manipulation. Then attach that to a novel role. Make the attributes more than just a list of random skills. Once you have a unique and unprecedented function, put it in a pretty package - a cool identity.
