I’m playing an SpEE planning on ice magic in the long run, so Permafrost Eruption would be one of my staple spells. Maybe Hoarfrost Cannonade too. So… the game gives me this:
I suppose the stats could be a lot worse, but the fact the drawbacks are not quite bad enough to completely rule it out makes it feel so much worse.
I suppose it will be pretty great late game when I have enough int/skill that Int-5 doesn’t negate the enhancement, and have enough Spriggan willpower that Will- isn’t too painful, but for now I feel pretty mocked.
