Hiya -
While I appreciate that your heart is in the right place, I don't feel that this would benefit the shard. The buffs to the summons are rather unbalanced/overpowered, and the script appears to be written for runuo 2.0+, which our shard isn't compatible with.

I believe +C is leaning toward allowing a small list of facet coding needs to be released to the players so that anyone with interest and ability could attempt to write them. If he does decide to do this - and you're able to write scripts for our version of runuo - then I hope you'll submit something at that time.

We do have plans to boost the desirability of playing as a mage as part of the updates with the facets; so rest assured that pew-pew'ing with magery will once again be viable and fun before too long :)

They are in 1.0 base, but thanks for the feedback, i felt they were balanced when compared to the stronger options out there (mules, nobles, imps) taking only 1 control slot, versus the much higher in the above scripts, plus the odd of them being dispelled. I'll work on something else that may be useful ;p

I think that the trouble is that since we're mid-development on opening the facets, and the playerbase doesn't really have the inside track on everything we're working on, changes like this are largely not going to be implemented. If I were you I'd hang onto that motivation for helping the shard until such a time as we put out a call for specific scripts, otherwise I worry you'll just become upset at blindly submitting scripts you think are cool that then get turned down because they interfere with our own plans. It's of course up to you, but I personally know were I in that boat I'd rather just wait and submit things that I knew would be wanted by those in charge of putting them into effect :)
