There are data files that mention magician spells called Fireworks I to
III. However, their spell level is set to 0 and are not currently
implemtented. I imagine this is the reason we can't make them. I assume
that this is due to game balance, but it could also be that they haven't
finished woriking out the final details with the spell. (Wouldn't
surprise me with Verant's track record). Is there anyone on this list who
played in the Beta who witnessed the Fireworks spell? Is it just simply a
dazzling effects of lights (possibly even stunning a mob)? Is it an AOE
dmg spell? Something else?
