Yeah I finally had a chance to use it to reach something out of my chars range. Nope apparently you can only cast it on your own level. I could see this spell being a lot of fun if its gets hashed out and has enhanced functionality. I know its early access and I remind myself often. I envy people who can wait and play through. There was another discussion regarding mods. I kind of assume there will be a robust mod scene and also that some form of a DM mode with sandbox assets will be in the version that ships but correct me if i am wrong. I wish we knew what all the glorious fungi and minerals could do! Crafting looks to make a big comeback here and that is promising.
Considering that there are almost 100 mods on nexus at the moment, they won't be a problem.
