There has been a few threads about how vanilla Shaman are and several suggestions that each Immortal should have Shamanistic supplications that are associated with them. With the fluidity of Immortal staff this would take a hell of a lot of time, effort, and with the frustration of so little reward for the Immortal staff when Shaman number 1220 deletes before getting anywhere.

So I had an idea that would give flavour to Shamans without having to have individual Immortal supplications. There are nine groupings of Spheres could these not be used to determine what supplications would be unique to a given Shaman?

The Elements:
Elemental style supplications that combine mysticism.

Nature:
Nature related supplications.

Magic:
More utility supplications.

The Sun:
Life manipulation supplications.

The Moon:
Shadow supplications.

War:
Combat supplications.

The Forces:
Morale related supplications.

Greater Virtues:
Shaman enhancing supplications.

Lesser Virtues:
Maledicting supplications that focus on virtues.

Having a couple supplications unique to each grouping would help take away the vanila feeling that current Shamans have. You could also throw in a couple of associated skills as well.

Very vague on supplication ideas simply because I suck at coming up with skills/spells/supplications concepts. But I think the overall idea would work and would work no matter who was in the Immortal list.

This isn't exactly where my thinking has been for a shaman revamp, but it's not that far off stylistically. I can't say we won't go this way, but my thinking has more run down the path of shaman archetypes vs. sphere groupings.

If people have specific ideas for skills/supps feel free to toss 'em out, they might see the light of day someday!

Have Edges that only Shamans who fall under a certain sphere grouping can access. This furthers the uniqueness of each Shaman.
