Im not sure if this still gets updates as i just joined but something i feel that is missing from the game is an ability to remove skill points as starting off i had to delete my char 5 times due to stupid mistakes i didnt know where stupid such as lvl 12 lightning when i only had 41 mana, and even now i find myself regretting skill placement but dont want to restart.

Welcome Eve! I agree with you that this is something that would be an excellent addition for new and returning players.

I struggle with what would be an appropriate cost to respec.

Admittedly, if I allow free 100 percent respecs at any time, this will allow people to 'break' the balance of the game when they gain new, more powerful spells and skills. They could simply delevel their old spells and level up their new spells with the old points.

On the other hand, this game is already punishing enough. I've removed other parts of the game that punished players who were simply exploring new parts of the map. I think it's reasonable to extend that philosophy of redesigning a classic to other parts of the game.

Thoughts?

I have added despec buttons that will exist so long as you don't leave the keep. When you leave the keep your spell/skill points will be allocated permanently. But this will give you the chance, at least, to examine what the mana cost will be.
