spellbind
exid:
i don't like spellbind!
-> you get +1 planning
-> you get a infinite spellbook multiplicator
I like the first point that brings a good tactical opening (with limitations on the type or subtype)
I think the second point is overpowered! The game looses its finite spellbook points strategic limitation.
Spellbind should be errated, saying: you can plan one more spel with the type or subtype limitation, and when used the spell is discarded (keeping the quickcast spellchanging?).
Reactions? :D
Zuberi:
I think that is a very interesting suggestion. I wouldn't mind trying it out in a few games. I doubt that it gets officially errata'd though.

While Zuberi's probably right and it won't get errata'd, I too hate the infinite reusability of spellbind
exid:
in my group (of 2!) we decided today to discard the bounded spell after casting and possibly bind a new one each planning
I'm happy to see I'm not the only one to dislike the spellbind!
Sailor Vulcan:
I don't know what the game would look like without spellbind, whether it would be more fun and varied or not. You can get around a mage wand with a spellbound minor heal using poisoned bloods and arcane wards and wardstones, or just baiting their dispels with other enchantments. Although, spellbind might be part of the reason that basically every spellbook still uses hard removal for dealing with equipments rather than relying more on other options. Drop item, curse item, disarm, or simply negating the effects of whatever equipment with spellbind that they are using, like using poisoned blood to stop minor heal mage wand. Thing about a spellbound spell is that they have to cast it again every time they want to use it.
Without spellbind it might also become harder to deal with armor stacking though, since you would need to spend more spell points on a third or fourth acid ball, and if your armor stacking opponent removes the corrodes you can't reapply them.
Then again, doing this might give piercing attacks more of a chance to shine.
Another option would be to introduce some other cost for the spellbind, like lowering your innate life by 1, or taking 1 damage every time you use it, or just adding the bound spell's level to the mana cost after the first use.
Spellbinding objects put the enemy mage on a clock. They have to either make the bound spell useless or remove the spellbinding object. And the former tactic probably tends to work better for early to mid game, while the latter is better if you want to outlast the spellbind user.
