Channeling Bolt Spells -
A simple implementation that would primary help an already beleaguered profession would be the ability to channel bolts. Channeling a bolt would slightly increase the DF of the bolt, and significantly raise the difficulty of evading and blocking the incoming spell. Of course, it would also leave wizards in an offensive stance for three seconds of hard round time.
This change could be added a limited number of bolts, or to the entire roster of spells. I would personally prefer to see this change applied to all types of bolts, so that other professions could take the risk for the gains if they so choose.
Other effects which could possibly be enhanced by channeling bolts could be the better targeting of vital areas, and a higher possibility of splash damage for ball bolt spells. These effects, as well as those stated above would be slight unless in an offensive, or nearly offensive stance. In addition, if the mage elected to take the risk, they could have one or both hands free while channeling in an offensive stance to achieve the maximum effect.
Thoughts?
