I guess I am not understanding the complaint...
seriously what game are you all playing O.O low level, Once I had the gold I bought the spells and was able to set up some amazing elemental attacks.
Round 1
Melee/Ranged into positions
Rain+Ice = enemies frozen or slipping (large area)
Round 2
Melee or Ranged attacks. (pretty much guaranteed hit)
Caster type can use more ice magic or air(lightning) which does quite a bit of damage to wet/frozen targets. If you really want to be cruel while they are frozen or slipping and not wanting to use air magic. Can use earth poison dart near them. The reason I say near them is it leaves a poison cloud they are stuck in.
Think if people sit back and play around with the spells (and not focus on picking the game apart) And I do mean the low level ones. You can figure out some amazing combos. The Rain+Ice spell on the water left behind is a huge AoE freeze.
If the demand is really high for a low level spell pack.Give me a few days or a week playing with the toolkit and I can do a low level spell pack before working on my difficulty mod.
(Should be easy if all people really want is lower versions of ones already in game)
90% of the enemies in Cyseal are undead. Your poison is healing them, so that's poison dart out of the equation.
Rain and Air magic being a spectacular combination is not an excuse for the lack of diversity in other spell schools. The only Earth damage (not Poison) spell at levels 1-10 is accessible at level...7, I believe, and Witchcraft forces you to be in melee range for most of its spells, plus Bloodletting is worthless against undead.
Fire is fine.
