Suggest possible uses for energy field
My suggestions:
1. Drains the mana of anyone caught in it, similar rate as meditation (not moving) only inverse.
2. 10% chance to cast lightning each second. 10 damage per lightning seems fair. That way, it's possible to take 100 damage in 10 seconds if you're unlucky or 0 damage in 10 seconds if you're lucky.

Yes as it is now Galdor, energy field is a useless spell
Anyone have any other ideas on how to make it useful?

Or just make it even more useless like it was on IN. Field of energy that did absolutely nothing to you but you could run through it and could use it to train magic resistance by sitting in it or running along it.

I'd say give it a lot more length and duration. That would be useful since it's basically just a super-wall that takes more mana to cast.
On a side note, I think it would be awesome if walls decayed from the edges inward instead of randomly. That would be useful for hunting since you could trap monsters longer and you wouldn't randomly have an important block decay on you with no warning.

Actually you couldn't run through an energy field on IN1, hehe. It was just like a stonewall but if you casted it on a person they would be in it and gain resist. So maybe we could make you gain resist when walking on it to make it useful for that at least.

Hmm maybe it would be animated (Like blue or types of blue[looks like poison field]) and when something walk on it it/him/her mana decrease...
Or you cant walk through on it but you can cast spells to other side....

Ahh that's an excellent idea Galdor... An impassible wall that can be casted through. Cannot be teleported through either
Eru that's also an excellent idea regarding how walls decay. I thought about it for a minute thinking what that would actually feel like in game. I think it'd be sweet!

+1 ... This hit the nail on the head for me
as well as the suggestion to cast spells through it, that'd be sweet as well / alternatively
