kinda curious to hear what level-headed posters think about the addition of alternate spell lines which align with your chosen deity - these don't have to offer any sort of power, just ways to flesh out the shaman visual identity in a way that expresses a spiritual connection with your deity - maybe bulibyre/trimminax aligned shamans have rotten/gross particles on their disease/blight lines, relle influences healing spells in some way, shalla could have alternate appearances for invisibility spell lines, things like that. maybe one of these could even turn one of your dot lines into a spirit wolf that's mechanically identical to the dot, but has a visual wolf component.
i'm also hoping to hear suggestions related to the alchemy tradeskill - i quite like that my enchanter has access to the enchant metal lines, so maybe having something that encourages shamans to pursue alchemy as their core tradeskill could be good as well - this doesn't have to manifest as a direct alchemical process like a chance to yield an additional potion, just a way to push players towards seeking out a shaman for magic potions.
what are some other suggestions/wishes you have for flavor/identity that aren't tied directly to player power? looking to enhance the fun/cool factor more than anything.
