Wizards on RP?

[BotchKing]

A lot of people have been discussing this recently and we usually find a common theme:

Wizards on RP could be really cool but their current loadout is not appropriate for it.

I share this opinion too, but I'd like to know what people think could be meaningful changes that would make wizards work on RP.

Some ideas I've had:

• Nerf offensive spells cooldown and power (or change them for something else entirely)
  
• Change into different creatures yourself with the ability to revert back
  
• Produce enchanted items or enchant current items with a variety of effects
  
• Share your powers with others for a limited time
  
• Make spells resource-based (like mana) rather than cooldown-based
  
• Give them objectives related to crew interaction (for example, collect player trinkets) in exchange for spell ressources.
  
• The goal here would be to make them negotiate with players to trade objective rewards and magic powers in exchange for giving the crew magic items or blessings. I think it's similar to the beloved chaplain contract system which works great on RP.
  
• Make some spells like polymorph take a longer time to cast
  
  

I'd love to hear your suggestions and what you think about the ones above.

I want to try coding some additional spells, so I'd love to contribute making wizards RP-viable
