This discussion is going on over in Wizard Banter (I believe) but suffice to say, I agree. The staunch opposition to re-attuning (even if it's a one-time-ever per character thing like Society Reset) was Naos's baby, and he's out of the picture. I'd love to see this re-addressed.

OK, been thinking about attunement, and some possible changes to it. It seems a bit poorly implemented right now.

Have been having some thoughts about elemental attunement. It seems to have little practical effect; as far as I can see, the main spells it impacts are 411, 415 and 435, all minor elemental circle. An irrevocable choice should have a larger and broader effect.

How about making spells using that element cost less mana? If you are attuned to fire, maybe you can summon fire more easily. Or perhaps it could have an effect similar to x amount of lores; spells using that element are more effective (do more damage, offer more protection etc.). Maybe the equivalent of 10 ranks of lore in that element?

As it is, my mage went 83 trainings before attuning to earth, and that was only to avoid fire flares from 415 when hunting in the Bowels. I felt no pressing need to choose before that time. Give us a reason.
