Wow, thanks for the really long post and neat ideas. With the DvsN set maybe i will put together a warlock/Enchanters Wardstone Curse-spellbook because enchantment-control is not what i intended with this spellbook (Mana syphon and Surpression Cloak are the "cool" cards, Staff of the Arcanum being sadly to bad) The only enchantment i feel right for this tactic is Essence Drain
However, i believe the wardstone is too good to be dismissed in a mana denial spellbook so your tips are really helpful!
"I'm sort of jealous that you get to experience that early steep learning curve, the joys of discovery that can never be re-experienced."
I don't get this
being jealous of joy i couldn't experience is strange - like being a single child i do not miss any brother/sister, maybe it's a loss, i don't know and i will never find out. Besides, I guess deconstructing is nothing that comes by my nation
I can get rid of Corrode by replacing all Armor+X equipment?.....That sounds edgy and nice to know!
