With the return of shadow web there are some other spells I'd love to see come back. Including energy manacles and chorus of the madman.

Traps, coming soon to DR.

>>Could you elaborate what you liked about Energy Manacles in particular? Though it did look awesome, to me it never seemed to fill a niche that justified its sorcerous nature.

I liked that it immobilized someone + knocked them prone when it worked its best.

Honestly I'd be happy to just have a version of shove that knocked someone down at melee (trip?), because right now my setup is generally "immobilize, shove, advance, re-immobilize, finally attack"

Uzmam! The Chairman will NOT be pleased to know you're trying to build outside of approved zones. I'd hate for you to be charged the taxes needed to have this place re-zoned. Head for the manor if you're feeling creative.

Sounds a bit like Ice Patch, which I think can be found on scrolls.

But a Trip maneuver that kept people at melee would be very nice to have. Make it less accurate or worse for your own balance than Shove.
