Rework buff spells into god abilities
Buffs as god abilities, however, seem to work fairly well; the fact that they cost a strategic resource, piety, prevents them from being spammed and creates some decision as to when to use them.
So, I suggest removing all buff spells (except the ones that hurt you) but re-making some of them into new god abilities for existing gods (and probably a new god for transmutations).
As a consequence of that, the Charms and Transmutations schools, the Skald and Transmuter backgrounds, and the books of Battle, Changes, and Transfigurations would be removed.
Below is an example of where each spell could go, but please bear in mind that I am looking for discussion about the plan, not so much about what to do with each spell individually.
- Code:
NOTE: Ataumintornst is the hypothetical new god of transmutation.
Confusing Touch - Elyvilon or Ru
Infusion - Okawaru, The Shining One, Sif Muna, Uskayaw, or Wu Jian Council
Shroud of Golubria - Lugonu
Ozocubu's Armour - Ashenzari, Beogh, Cheibriados, or Qazlal
Portal Projectile - Lugonu
Regeneration - Ataumintornst, Kikubaaqudgha, Jiyva, or Yredelemnul
(Probably just remove, because the effect is part of Trog's Hand)
Spectral Weapon - Hepliaklqana or Okawaru
(Probably just remove, because the effect is similar to Shadow Mimic)
Excruciating Wounds - Kikubaaqudgha or Yredelemnul
(Probably just remove, because the effect is similar to Kiku's pain gift)
Iskenderun's Battlesphere - Vehumet
(Probably just remove, because the effect is similar to Shadow Mimic)
Deflect Missiles - Beogh or Qazlal
(Probably just remove, because the effect is part of Storm Shield)
Invisibility - Dithmenos or Ru
(Probably just remove, because the effect is part of Shadow Form)
Ring of Flames - Qazlal or Vehumet
(Probably just remove, because the effect is similar to Storm Shield and Cleansing Flame)
Dragon's Call - Wu Jian Council
Beastly Appendage, Spider Form, Ice Form, Blade Hands, Hydra Form, Statue Form, Dragon Form, and Necromutation - Ataumintornst
