Meta spell: Dig Deep

[Scott]

A play on Clarity would be neat, but not exactly the same so we don't conflate them in conversation.

Clarity Meditation?
Meditative Clarity?

Or we could look at synonyms.

Lucidity?
Perspicuity?

Or maybe just "Recharge" for simplicity?

...

I'm favoring Recharge or Lucidity.

[logan9a]

Digging recharge as it is simple and descriptive. Or 'slow recharge' as this one is. I'm still liking 'trickle charger' as this one is about as slow as it goes.

Trickle charger
Recharge (faster)
Fast recharge (fastest)

Should this spell ever get more levels.

[Scott]

Ah, if there's going to be multiple levels...

Maybe it could be Mana Trickle/Mana Recharge/Mana Jolt

Where Trickle is 1mp/minute, Recharge is 1mp/round, and Jolt is like a Clarity with a resource cost (sanity? con? other skills?).

Mana Trickle [meta tree]

Casting time: 1-20 minutes
Range: Self
Duration: Instantaneous
MP cost: 0

By casting this spell AND making a successful meditation roll while in a calm, quiet place the caster may regain MP at the rate of one per minute for as many minutes as they like or until their MP are full. If they are distracted or attempt to do something other than meditate (including walking) the casting immediately ends and the caster stops gaining further MP.

Mana Recharge [meta tree]

Casting time: 1-20 rounds
Range: Self
Duration: Instantaneous
MP cost: 0

By casting this spell AND making a successful meditation roll while the caster may regain MP at the rate of one per round for as many rounds as they like or until their MP are full. If they take damage or attempt to do something other than meditate (including walking) the casting immediately ends and the caster stops gaining further MP.

Mana Jolt [meta tree]
Casting time: 1 round
Range: Self
Duration: Instantaneous
MP cost: 0

By casting this spell AND making a successful meditation roll the caster may refill their MP. This jolt hurts your brain. You lose 1 Sanity and 1d4 skill points from a skill of your choice at least that many points above its base.

Range: Self
Duration: Instantaneous
MP cost: 0

Thinking no skill loss. d4 sanity but MP all back the next round.

[Scott]

That works.

[logan9a]

Note that there will be stuff between perhaps. I've still got to assemble the blocks of the meta tree but we're close on it.

[logan9a]

I'm thinking that for balance each of the recharging spells can only be done once per day per individual.

It seems like we have plenty of meta spell to fill a tree. We should be able to have a few branches off of lower level tiers. Or we can keep going and fill out a "Meta 2" tree.

[logan9a]

Last count I think there was 9 meta spells. Super close. If we can come up with one more low powered (or sort my shit out on the other two I was questioning in a different thread) we should be golden for those.
