That went from 0 to 100 real quick

"Should be put down" what is he, a dog?

He's still (sort of) active on Wilds main Discord, he just doesn't say much. He's the owner too

Wait actually the book shouldn't block normal attacks, but it should block projectiles

Plus the charged attack is kind of annoying if you spam it, so maybe cooldowns of 2-5 seconds?

I mean, they're all the same, and it would be a bit interesting if the attacks were unique. Especially for spear

You hold up the book and a mana shield (blue) appears in front of you and for the special you hold up the book, the special particles for the wand's special appear, and the staff element is changed to fire

I think you should be able to buy it, you can hold down the magical/normal shield with a key, but it would cost stamina, or mana if Rez replaces the stamina use for wand with mana. Maybe there could even be a special move for the book where it changes the staff's element?
