Ive been away, sorry.
The reason for the idea is essentially to give the wolves a bigger arsenal without going too far away from sheep tag. It would be like a version of str beam that gives you a lot more possibilities as a wolf and I think also the overall impact it will have on the game will be very positive leading to more situations where your 1 on 1 skills as both sheep and wolf are put to test.
The main idea from the start with str beam was to create more isolation, but I think the item have been too clumsy and expensive (even though its become cheaper).
Now mana/money doesnt really matter, the important thing is to find a balance where its used but not spammed.
Mana left for mirrorimage is a good concern Cele, perhaps a better idea would be to let this beam load up its power on itself and have it on a certain manacost regardless of how strong it is?
Anyway, those are more practical problems. First, do people think it sounds like an idea worth trying? I dont think it will be a major change, put str potion and str beam are good ideas not put to their full potential. I think this is the right way to go in order to fix that.
