I'm not sure its a bug, more like a lack of feature perhaps? It doesn't affect forms at all, perhaps it could increase your damage or something, level maybe?

I do not like that feat because as i understood it works not evrytime

With 2 feats of it chosen you almost get 100% chance of at least one level increase, it tells you when also 'with the Your fingers glow with a soft blue light, Your fingers glow with a brilliant blue light' messages. With a third feat of it chosen i don't think I've ever seen a spell cast without a level increase. Most often it will be 2 levels increase. But it never ever affects your forms no matter what. I guess it works the same way as mages spellpower so maybe it is not possible to have it affect forms and not have forms affected by spellpower, which would make some pretty insane manticores and stuff.

Actually theres so many things that aren't really affected by it, i don't think i will ever choose it again for most characters. . . sub 35 it is ok, but mostly it is just longer durations on some spells, some stronger minions, 1-3 ranks higher . . . each empower feat should add two ranks, or 1 for first 2 for second 3 for third, 3-6 ranks might make some peoples minions a little strong but at least they don't have 3 ranks of toughness or balance or horse nomad etc.

Question: Are we ever going to see some advantages to empower spell affects added to spells and prayers?

PS. It would be good if any immortal could like, state such things toward any and all idea's ever posted so we players can at least figure what direction the game is taking. . . rather than sprout blind idea's randomly.

PS, i think the changes to sargonnas clerics, Volcano is great, added damage to fires of vengeance are good too but, my ideas were rather more toward vengeance and rage, meaning perhaps they could have an enhanced version of frenzy(castable on others) or something to facilitate revenge and rage for others not just yourself. I also had an idea of maybe an empower to cast on 'ghostly' people who had just died maybe something with a short duration. . .that 1. ended their ghostly state, and 2. buffed them heaps for 4 or 5 hours or so? It would be cool perhaps to be able to turn people who had died into an incarnation of vengeance or something...I had these idea's for role play. . . I found myself wanting to grant or aid in peoples revenge but all i could do was bless them, or frenzy if they happened to be the same alignment. .
