"All because you play metal"
Quick to pull the trigger you maxi best of.
Now I can concede that, by lowering the cost across the board would, maybe, be detrimental in the sense that players will have more freedom to take spells that interest them.
However....
Can you explain to me how lowering the costs would make the tree worse? You said you would have an extra spell to buy, but... how is that bad?
Instead of doing 15 + 15, you would do 10 + 10 + 10 and thus have an extra spell. An extra spell you could choose to keep or not on your bar, an extra spell you could slot in specific situations... so you would have more flexibility? Something, I know it isn't your forte but anyway.
Spells costing 15 RPP forces you to take a certain path. Take Energy for example. 80% of users will buy the shield (15 RPP), ebeam (15 RPP), and another spell to get access to intermediate. But what if you want to be different? What if you want the beam, but not the shield or vice versa. You are stuck with an uneven number.
And again, costs are never discussed when talking about balance.
I go back on what I said, basic should be 10 across the board. Intermediates 15.
Why is a chart important? Because then you are left with uneven trees, and racials. Glad you mentioned my character, I am a hive kin, all my racials cost... 0. Now most of them arent spells you can use, butbthe toggle giving me 40 vit is certainly useful. Though every other racial besides humans has a cost?
Its just weird balance.
