I just played the game again for the first time in months and this idea came to me after using the torch for a while in the game, why not give torch an M1 attack?
The torch wont be considered as a sword item so of course you wont be able to upgrade them nor create skills. The damage would also be really low, let’s say about 5 damage although it can apply burn effect. The reason for this is that i’d like torches to be able to burn houses rather than only having any fire-based magic to be able to burn houses.
It’s not too complicated to add and this would be a nice thing to add for torch since someone would atleast want to use the torch to burn people and im one of those people who want to do that.
Was planning it to be a unique feature only like let’s say allowing non fire-based magic users to atleast burn materials and if possible there’s a quest regarding burning something, torch will be something that could be used.
If it does become a fighting style, I can think of a fighting skill of using oil that’s stored in your mouth and then blowing it all out to create a breathing attack.
Idk about the burning thing since it would be currently the only thing able to apply a status effect other than bleeding without having the specific magic linked to it. I mean it’s not op or anything but it’s odd.
On the other hand, we are getting a second magic next update so it wouldn’t be like adding the only way to have reliable magic combos (other than bleeding again), but still.
