Many people have suggested for the inclusion of a lightning rod - to deflect all spells in a certain area. It was met with much hostility - many fear it would be too overpowered, and spells would no longer be useful. I agree too. I like the healing spell.
But what can we do about the lightning spell? A great solution is to use the Tesla to absorb the lightning spell. This is a one - time deflection. To prevent unbalancing, the absorption range is only 4 tiles. Every time a lightning spell is used in the range of the Tesla, it will pop up and absorb the spell. It will remain pop-ed up but it will not deflect any more lightning spells (1 time use)
The best part is: The lightning spell now has 2 uses - 1 for attack, the other to discover hidden teslas (YAY 2 BIRDS WITH ONE STONE)
Now there must always be a balance, so here goes:
From the lightning spell user's perspective:
1) Less chances of hitting targets with lightning spell
2) Ability to reveal Tesla's position, cause it will pop up to deflect the lighting spell
From the defender's perspective:
1) Less chance of losing DE
2) Higher chance of tesla locations being revealed (Weak spots exposed)
AND, if you're not happy, Maybe only allow lightning deflection with Tesla level 3 and above.
