Spell of the Week -- Ra

Yup, it's THAT spell . . . you know THAT cool, awesome-looking MUST HAVE balance spell that pretty much defined awesomeness for high level balance wizzies:


Balance wizards get a lot of great AoE spells when you think about it. Sandstorm and Nova are both great spells, and although they don't have the highest base damage out of those with AoE spells, once you throw a Colossal on top of ANY balance AoE spell, you're going to rock the dueling circle.

The most notable feature of Ra is Ra itself. It's a spectacular looking spell and lends itself to so much fun. The readers of The Friendly Necromancer seemed to agree. I had 26 pictures this week of a spell that may seem out of reach to some being that it's a full 8-pip cost spell in the balance line. Well, I guess if you don't have a high-level balance wizard yourself or a balance mastery necklace, there's always a gaggle of balance friends on your friends list, right? It is a pretty rocking school of magic after all. :)

Now, let's check Ra out in action (click on them to enlarge!):

Cass adds, "Yo, Tom!
Here's my Ra submission (Included original Egyptian image of him too).
Also here's an interesting legend on Ra:

Ra, the first pharaoh, had the power to control the sun, giving warmth to the land of Egypt. As the years passed, he grew weak, and rebels tried to take his throne. Ra sent his daughter, the lion goddess Sekhmet, to deal with the rebels. Yet Sekhmet grew hungrier and went to eliminate the human race. Ra, seeing this, turned wine into the color red to trick Sekhmet. Sekhmet, after drinking the wine, realized her mistake. Thus, Ra saved humanity.
Interesting, huh? ;)"

You're always full of interesting tidbits, Cass! Thanks!

Elizabeth adds, "Hi Friendly,

As I do not have a balance mastery amulet, I needed to use an alt wizard for this one. Also, I was on the test realm and found a glitch, shown in the other picture I sent you.

Anna StoryWeaver
Level 10 live, 12 test sorcerer
Alt of Elizabeth GoldenThistle
Level 56 Conjurer

P.S. Anna says that it is spelled Ra, not Rah."

>.< Yeah, sorry I mispelled that Anna.
