Summary	0005069: Add some utility to Light Snake
Description	The light snake spell is a bit of a mystery to me. I see no use for it whatsoever (but maybe there is a use and I missed it). Some suggestions as to making it have some actual use: 1. make it reveal areas on the minimap, could be useful during cave exploration 2. make it follow the player around (and last longer) 2a. perhaps make it function like a mobile one-hit decoy fireworks? 3. make it seek out gem veins. 4. make it float (instead of bounce on the ground) and seek out an enemy, and let it stick around until the enemy is defeated, after which it seeks out a new `host' to highlight for the player's convenience. Perhaps make it slightly increase the enemy's hitbox or something?

Chris_McElligottPark Oct 29, 2011 3:05 pm administrator ~0017301	Good idea! Let's start with this for light snake, and other things could be considered for either further improvements or even different spells. * Light snakes now move about 2/3 as fast, accelerate about 10x as fast, last 2x as long, and reveal the minimap as they move.
