Lore of Shadows?

[Kalanair]

I was thinking ever since I started RPing my Sorceress on the original forums she has always gone by the way of the Lore of Shadows with one or two of the handy Druchii Spells up her Sleeve but never leaned heavily into it due to character history and such. I think that the Lore of Shadows is one of the best in the game and Highly Beneficial to any opponent you play instead of raw damage.

This type of Support/Illusionary casting would seem to have a massive advantage when engaging in RvR which is one of the main focus points in WAR so Im just wondering has anyone else thought about things like this with the Lores of Magic as the Bright Wizard is obviously taking from the Law of Fire and High Elves taking High magic but im sure that those Poncy High Elves would love to rain Comet's from the Lore of Heavens down on a city in RvR.

On another look at it from a solo point of view you aint going to be doing much as its much more a support role that the lore of shadows play so is it really viable to lead someone down that road so that they find themselves up the creek without a paddle so to speak?

Your thoughts Please

I wish I knew enough about Warhammer itself to comment on the whole "lores" bit. In fact, I've heard the "Lore of Shadows" before but only from people on the forums. To Mythic they only seem interested in the "Winds of Magic" not the Lores. They don't describe Archmage as studying the "Lore of High Magic" or whatever (Sorry if I just completely screwed up that last sentence, put it down to ignorance), they say they are "Masters of all winds of magic".

Anyhow, that being said, I'd like to see an illusion/shadow based caster, it would definatly be a tad more different than what we've seen currently, granted, we haven't seen any of the Archmage's abilities. If the sorcerer was introduced as such I'd have a difficult time not playing one.. I always was partial to the old Enchanters in EQ, and my first class in DAoC was a mentalist (which as mostly a disappointment really).
