We can only assume a similar shock spell will be in the game... SITH LIGHTNING!

In all seriousness, I am hoping that a similar shock spell exist as I plan on only using shock magic.

We've already seen, it's Chain Lightning. When he charges up that bolt of lightning and it bounces all around. Seen in the demos.

I believe this was mentioned in the PC magazine? He used fire and lightning and he said looked amazing. So yes we have "sith lightning"!

No he's talking about a Lightning equivalent to the flamethrower spell we've seen. Not holding it to charge, just holding it and have it shoot out like a spray or stream.

I thought mixing spells was a confirmed "No"? Maybe I got it turned around in my head and it is actually in, but if so I haven't heard anything like that so far...

He dosnt actually mix or combine them, he used a different spell for each hand and just held both triggers. It doesn't combine the spells but he said it was so amazing and powerful that it looked like one big powerful stream spell.

I thought the OP was going to ask if the spells would cancel each other out. Would be awesome if you could put out a fire with an icy blast, or thaw a frozen npc with a flame thrower... or undo those ground hexes with an opposing element cast on it.

That makes a lot more sense.

I am kind of worried about how many of our spells are getting eaten up by different elemental variants of the same spell. I hope the 85+ is a big + and or things like that is considered one spell not 3.

I have a massive erection - Not what you think! I'm building a house of cards you see, to honour how excited I am about the mixing of spells

Maybe there's an easter egg "sith cloak" in a dungeon somewhere.

I really hope ice has a great animation and not just be the flamethrower with a different coloration.

Completely different spells there bud. Flamethrower and the Ice spell are both short length spells that are held down to use. Chain Lightning is 'thrown" when cast.

Considering Beth has always adhered to the self, touch and target style of spellcasting, I would assume the chain lightning thing is lightning target and the 'sith lightning' as you put it is the lightning on touch spell. Real question is can you put the target in one and and the touch on the other for a real lightning show?
