| Thanks for the reply, but I the responses are missing my question.
I'm NOT asking whats the advantage of a ManaMissile but what's the
DISADVANTAGE of a MANAmissile. Why would I bother, as a mage, to
learn powermissile when I could learn ManaMissile. Stati| stically
speaking, I will have a better chance of combatting enemies with
ManaMissile. So why bother with PowerMissile? |
Oh. Well, the only reason I can think of to take a Power type combat
spell is for those magician targets (they generally have a lower Body
than Willpower). It depends on how many magicians your GM is going
to throw at you (and you never know untill its too late :). However,
later on in the campaign when your target is an initiate magician
with Shielding then it really doesn't make much difference whether
you cast ManaMissile or PowerMissile.
So, the best thing for a Magician to do is learn ManaMissile and
carry an Ares Predator :)
