Or the infinity engine games - where wizards are actually, you know, powerful. Instead of, you know, deliberately designed to be weakest class in the game.
I wouldn't say that the wizard's the weakest class in as the game the high level spells (4, 5 and 6th tier) are insane with high might and intellect scores, and far outclass their druid and priest equivalents. And besides, Slicken was stupidly overpowered, like making the entire game trivial on PoTD difficulty overpowered. No level 1 spell should be able to be a complete game changer. I love Chill Fog though and I'll be quite sad to see it nerfed, since I did stack it on top of itself with reckless abandon. Nevertheless it'll most definitely be the most powerful AoE dot still (mainly because of it stacking on top of itself), and will only require better aiming to fully make use of it properly without melting friendlies.
