Regarding the shadow conjuration nerf

[Party in the forest at midnight]

Hello,

In the last update, darkness and invisibility were removed from the spell shadow conjuration.

This is a lot bigger of a nerf to mundanes than it might seem. When put onto wands, shadow conjuration is over twice the caster level of darkness or invisibility. A darkness wand's caster level is 3, which means it only lasts 18 seconds, compared to the caster level 7 of shadow conjuration giving 42 seconds of darkness. Offhand I think invisibility wands are only caster level 3 as well. While invisibility is a lot less desired on a wand, I know some low levels like having it as an option in case something goes wrong in a dungeon.

I can understand if it's deemed too overpowered to have mage armor, darkness, and invisibility on one wand, but could the caster level on darkness wands be increased to CL 7, the equivalent of using it with shadow conjuration?

Already asked for this on the new spells thread. Dev team were looking at it.

Someone beat me to it, but yes I think this is reasonable. Assuming nobody on the team objects I will make the change since this was not intended as a nerf.
