| I think it would be neat if casting spells or shooting bolts while standing on an energy fountain had some extra effect. You're standing in the middle of a huge reservoir of magical energy; it should do something to your spells. I was thinking that it could: - Randomly add some amount of charge to the bolt or spell (i.e, "An unexpected flow of energy surges through your staff!").
- Randomly change the shape of your bolt or spell (i.e, "Your bolt crackles ominously as it flies through the air!" -> a bolt was reshaped into a ball, "Your spell shatters as you cast it!" -> a spell was reshaped into a cone.)
Both of these would of course drain from the fountain's reserve. | |

| Hmm. Forces the player to make a strategic choice on how to manage the fountain's reserve. I like it! Something along these lines will probably show up, a version or two out. | |
