Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Skill Scroll / Book suggestion~

Hey there.

Wanted to point out a few things about skills, and their books / skills.

Since its possible to craft scrolls into skillbooks, it can be very confusing for the player when the skills aren't named the same everywhere.

Oh, a scroll with a new skill! I'll buy it and craft into a book ~ but then the book is a skill you already have. Or - ah, that scroll, I have that skill already. When its actually a different one than the name on the scroll says.

~ Blitzbolt Scroll
> Is actually Lightning Bolt, the skill level 12 version of Blitz Bolt. (the scroll for Blitz Bolt is called 'Blitz Bolt Scroll', with a space)

~ Lightning Storm Scroll
> Should be just 'Storm Scroll' like the skill / book. Or rename the skill / book to 'Lightning Storm'. (sounds cooler, in my opinion)

~ Fireball Scroll
> 'Small Fireball Scroll' to match the skill / book. Or just remove 'small' from the skill / book, it doesn't really make sense since there isn't a 'bigger' fireball skill anyways.


There's probably more, I'll add them in as I come across them. Or if others find them, just post it here.

Also, a suggestion:

For the skills that have a weaker and stronger version, that have the exact same Icon. Would be good to make one Icon slightly different, for clarity.

Example: Dust Devil and Whirlwind. On the Icon for Whirlwind, you could make the weapons in the circle outlined with a glowy red. Or for Blitz Bolt and Lightning Bolt, on the Icon for Lightning Bolt give the bolt a faint purple outlining.

Edit:

Another thing
> Explode
This skill activates right on pressing the button. Can happen easily to use it by accident, and difficult to estimate the range of the 6m Radius.
Suggestion - Make it like Dust Devil / Whirlwind, that on activation, it first shows the aoe circle. Then the spell casts when you click on the circle.
