Fix Magick

[Ornias]

I think we can all agree on two things:

• Wizard is fucking SICK now.
• The server is better as a result of this change.

But, on the other end of the stick, now we have some... radically unbalanced spells.

I'm talking mainly in relation to the most abysmal antag round I've ever had yesterday, but also in relation to a few other spells:

 

• Entangle: Can be one-resisted out of, pretty much consistently, or anyone can pull someone out of it with zero effort whatsoever. Basically a completely useless spell unless you get REALLY lucky with it.
• Corrupt Form: This is just straight garbage. You transform into this SUPER FUCKING SICK DEMON LORD, but then you just kind of. Die. Really quickly. You're slower, can't use items or spells, and are so fucking weak you can just be killed immediately (legit, it takes only ~6 punches from a human to kill this thing). This spell is not only useless, but actively harmful to the user, and to fully max it takes 3 (I think) spell slots. Utter garbage.
  
• Cure Minor Wounds: I get this spell isn't meant to like, fully heal the caster, but it heals such minute amounts of brute damage there's hardly any point in having it. This needs to be buffed.

 

I have no doubt there are others. If you're an idiot like me and take only these garbage spells, then you end up being completely fucked for a round.

So, uh, please fix!

EDIT: Shame has given me the values - Corrupt Form gives you approx 1.0 movement speed, and 80 HP. A laser rifle does 30, a laser pistol 20. And it's an instant death (read: shite).

Some clarification:

It takes 8 hits unarmed to kill the corrupt form, which is still disgustingly low. Attack damage is also feels really really low, and since it attacks a random body part you can't focus things down. Possible fixes that I've thought up:

• Give them Juggernaut-level health and maybe armor, and keep everything else the same.
  
• Give them something similar to the changeling revive, because how damn cool would a glowing black demon that comes back to life be?
  
• Buff their damage and movement speed significantly.
  
• Give them some sort of escape or disable, thinking something like the vampire void walk (if that's even what it's called) or the vampire glare.
  
• Some combination of the four.

 

[*]Cure Minor Wounds: I get this spell isn't meant to like, fully heal the caster, but it heals such minute amounts of brute damage there's hardly any point in having it. This needs to be buffed.

Literally 3 brute damage. 3. Brute. Damage. With a 20 second cooldown. This costs 1 spell slot, and while that's the lowest it could be, it's still a massive waste when you have stuff like sanctuary or mutate at the same initial cost.

I'm not actually sure on how this should be buffed, maybe make it equivalent to both advanced kits in one, applied to all your body, with a slightly longer cooldown.

 

I have no doubt there are others.

Likely. Apparently Mark and Recall is hot garbage, although I haven't tested that.
