As it currently is, Telekinetic Storm is very lack luster. It takes too long to target, only hits each target once, and only those engaged with the caster. Can we please get it so this spell can be cyclic pulsing and able to affect whole room? Or back to its original form? The old was so much better than this new version!

I love the idea of it affecting the entire room and for it to pulse a couple times at least, just like the old one. It's supposed to be a storm.

Use more mana. Behold:

Your target pattern has finished forming around the area.

>l
[Endrus Forest, Sushu Rahat]
The metronomic sound of dripping water pervades the area here, though the noise's source is not apparent. A fungal reek lingers in the air, mixing noxiously with the smell of mouldering leaves and an unmistakable whiff of rotting flesh. The vines here are so profuse that a few small trees have succumbed, their skeletons now serving only as support for the parasitic plants that killed them.
You also see an Endrus serpent and a dashing teddy bear pillow clutching a silver sword.
Obvious paths: east, southeast, south.

Target area*. Behold:

That will disrupt less than a quarter of your current attunement.
Smiling slyly, you murmur the words of the Telekinetic Storm spell.

You begin to weave mana lines into an all-inclusive targeting pattern centered around yourself.

57 mana will give you 2 strikes per critter, 80 mana will cap it at 3 strikes per critter. TARGET AREA will allow you to attack the whole room, though generally speaking you'll want to stay with the default of engaged targets, especially if it's a crowded hunting area.

You're welcome, although *target creatures* is usually better if you don't want to hit other PCs. My apologies to the guy I accidentally offed.

I forgot about target area as well. Probably because I started doing it the safe way so not to hit random people. Thanks for the reminder.

I have to admit, a cyclic version would be pretty sweet though. Maybe as a separate spell so I could still have regular TKS.
