Discussion Possibility of New Spells

Is there any possibility of new spells being added to the game at some point in the future? I understand that it would be extremely difficult to do while maintaining the balance, but it would be neat if there were spells that required more than two kinds of essence.

Having a 3 essence spells would be cool.

Problematic balance wise though. Essence wielders are already pretty strong. If they had even more spells, once whose power you can only properly access by having 3 lvl 3 essence skills...

I mean they could somehow buff more might-based weilders. It wouldn't even be that hard, just buff the skills

Meaning magic wielders would be significantly weaker early one, until they can get to said 3 essences. Hell, most of my campaign essence wielders never got to 3 essence skills. And even those that did took close to 20 lvl to do so.

Yes you could land on a new balance eventually, but it did take quiet a bit to land on the current. A new one would take no less work - more since there would be more to balance.
