Would it be possible to give some warning before the flaming sword
vanishes? Similar to the warnings given when flight is wearing off, etc
something along the lines of "Your flaming sword flickers and starts to
grow insubstantial" or something.
I've had my swords vanish on me twice, which had some rather painful
results, considering I was raging, cannot calm, and cannot draw.

Good idea. My bet is that this will be easy to code, too.

Why aren't the con or dex equivelants of that spell any good? I mean
if you compare them to the str version, they really suck. (IMHO)
I'd like to see it so a mage could use that as a primary weapon at
level 50 and as a result wouldn't get the benefit of stats, or specials
like using a mundane weapon would give.
Create lacks offensively allready (without xp sucking gimps), maybe they
could use a little boost.

I agree with Fright that the con and dex equivs of the spell are far behin
the str one, and an upgrade of these weapons would be very welcome.

The con version is 2nd circle, and as easily it is gotten, it is
quite useful at those earlier levels. The dex one simply got
jipped during the fight code change, before it used to rock (had
a create sniper who'd draw that after bs'in with wit)

It's true that the con equiv is a 2nd circle spell and good for that
level. Would it be feasable though, to have a 3rd circle
version of that spell, using, say earth, as well as adding a perc
weapon - a bow? using the word for air.
If I remember correctly, the dex version used to have more max attacks
than was possible with a normal q5 dagger, and having that back would
be very nice as well.

Mmm. the point in having a cool flaming sword as opposed to others,
imho, is that cuz it's harder to make a super competitive mage that
uses a str weapon than, say, dex or con :p
Also, altho it may be better than its other cousins, it still pretty
much stinks, waking up mobs from stuns pretty early, and not doing
nearly as much damage as its non-magical counterparts may do.

But Mo, also take into consideration that it could be used as a 0 rent
weapon by a create mage. I would be tempted to trade off the stats and

-grumble net- specials that come with a weapon, and use the magical one
(if it was at least somewhat comparible in quality and damage to
a regular weapon)
