Hi guys, I'm BAAACK... :) Yeah, grounding really cuts back on the spell
locks. And it is very effective. Playing Queen Euphoria with a group of new
characters, I took out half the team with a series of powerballs pumped
through this mage's spelllocks (I'd warned him in advance, of course, that
spelllocks were NOT a good idea). IMHO, you really need to get enough
initiate levels up to be able to mask them before you can even think of
using them safely.
