This seems broken to me. I'm a level 50 mage with fire immunity. (I
also have acid immunity, but I don't think that matters to this
discussion.) I carry 4 staves: Healing, Magi, Power, Holiness. Under
V306, when staves backfire, they do *not* get destroyed, but merely
drain of charges. So now, I can sit inside a room full of greater
demons, constantly zapping out with the Power and Holiness staff. The
greater demons can't do enough damage to really hurt me, and if I am
down by 300 points, I'll take a turn off with the Healing staff. I
recharge during battle, and use the Magi staff to recharge my mana. The
greater demons die in droves, but summon more of their minions such that
it's a stalemate. So basically, even though I'm completely overwhelmed,
I can hold my own virtually indefinitely. In V305, this was not true,
but now that staves don't have a finite lifespan, the only thing that
can possibly hurt me is if something steals a staff -- and this just
never happens, I kill thieves before they even get close. Does this
situation sound a bit broken to anyone else?
