Spell: Fortuna of Death

Suggestion: ... I know it was fixed rapidly, but it's basically useless now. Even pinning someone into it does bupkiss - It was fixed in less than a day, so I understand there's going to be some badness to it, but, it's basically unusable now.

This. It's super unreliable, with the waves often not hitting people at all. For 15 RPP and 10 Faith, Death is not worth it even if all three waves hit: Can we at least make sure the waves hit properly?

That issue still persists, leaving the spell at a disadvantage when compared to other offensive spells - and factoring in it's Fortuna's damaging spell that provides any sense of threat. Despite its significant investment cost of 20RPP and 10 Faith just to unlock, 'Fortuna: Death' falls short in terms of damage output. Even basic spells like 'Fatal' (stares at camera) outshine it, not to mention the considerably more impactful AoE spells found in other magic trees for half its cost; the disparity in damage becomes more glaring given the substantial investment required to access Death - not including the DMV-like aspect of app'ing for it the tree itself. More of an issue of lack of admins, but still - it's app-gated.

A potential solution could involve reevaluating the mechanics of 'Fortuna: Death.' One suggestion - even though it may have been due to a bug - is actually make it based on the number of tiles a target steps on. It would create something outside of 'place AoE here and pray'. There is already counter-play for it based around how players figured out to treat it like a T-Rex and not move and/or invulnerable.  It would AT LEAST make the spell more interactive and rewarding for players who can effectively manipulate their opponents' movements in this play style. I think, at least.

Alternatively, Death could just go back to however it was originally with being a high damaging, static AoE and was reflectable like any other AoE spells. Either is better than the current state it is in following an admin losing to it and it getting the Ol' Yellar treatment hours following.
