Spirit Stones

[Elli]

Not really a bug, but a design flaw. As you gain levels, Spirit Stones become worse. They always restore the same amount of mana, but at lower levels you can cast them more often (they also don't last as long, but this is rarely an issue). Therefore, as you increase in level the potential mana/time of this spell decreases. Plus, when you first learn the spell, 250 mana is quite a lot, while at hero, it's not nearly as significant.

Suggested Fix:
A spirit stone returns 30% of a player's mana rather than a fixed amount. Recast delay is a fixed 8 hours and stones crumble after 12 hours. Mana cost increased to 100. Anyone who uses a stone must wait at least 1 hour before using another.

Revision #265.

Spirit stones will now give caster level * 7 mana when destroyed. Everything else will stay the same for now.
