was just thinking about part of the magic system once again, nothing to big, just the fact that most of the magic stones are easily accessable. though i must say no one has managed to get KEL yet, and player frustrations have been mounting hehe
now maybe juuusssttt maybe, we could ya know, take some of those stones and err put them in a few duegons with some pretty rot worms and spiders and such and really make it challenging says the guy with all his runes...*Cough* *cough*. not so that no one else can get magic but just to spice things up a bit and to limit the number of players that want to become mages, i mean druids are getting rarer by the day.
Well that and my selfish need to finally fight something other then an ogre but hey wishful thinking right

Yea, I like it I feel like "exploting" ingame. Such as charging to bring someone down there!

Well I think they are easy to find, maybe the elementals (fire,ice,poison,water) should be guarded as they are the bases for most spells. Monsters would be drawn by their power I guess.

nice idea gro'bul, but what are some water creatures? maybe make a list.

Fire: Demon?
Poison: Spider
Ice: don't know
Water: Npc attacking lizard?

don't have to be water creatures, but i like Gro'buls idea. oh and the elements are wind,water,fire, and Earth. but possibly the poison and evil 'runes' (though runes don't technically exist anymore) because of the nature of there power as well.

perhaps you should wait until the old tutor-systhem is activated again? the stones are no final solution. it should just keep up the magical learn procedure until the new and final tutor-systhem is activated.

All runes can already be taught by teachers, not only by the stones. All offerings for the stonekeeper can be made or collected by the user himself. Also the kel-rune sacrificial offering.

Only those new runes, that will come (or already be around) will only be available by magic teachers.

If you really wish (not only some single players) we can hide some of the stones, also in caves and dungeons.

Maybe you start a poll about that question?
