Author's comment about this tower:

Rare aura tower which grants max mana and spell damage on auto casts that target creeps.

Enchanting Scholar has been updated to v2!

Author's reason for this update:

Fixed aura's buff icon tooltip shown on towers affected.

Tower seems a bit basic for a 1100g rare. While there are other towers that are also rare + 1 aura, those auras have more impactful stats. Realistically, the vast majority of towers can't make use of the spell damage part, leaving a minor max mana buff.

Don't think it makes sense to make the spell damage range adjusted.

"auto casts" should be changed to "spell casts" or "active abilities", as an autocast is the backend name for the ability functionality. Leaving in "auto" implies that the damage only applies if it autocast is enabled.

"Cooldown adjusted" in the context of this ability should be clarified. Rather say something like "deal [250 x cooldown]" to better show how much damage it deals.

Enchanting Scholar has been updated to v3!

Author's reason for this update:

- Replaced tower description with basic flavor text
- Changed attack type from Energy to Magic
- Reduced ability factor from 0.9 to 0.1
- Reduced max mana from 100 to 75
- Increased mana reg from 1.00 to 4.00
- Rephrased Arcane Flux' tooltip for clarity
- Increased Arcane Flux' aura range from 200 to 400
- Added a new ability that buffs trigger chance and buff duration of towers

Arcane Flux' spell damage part seems rather low at the moment as there is a comparably low amount of active abilities that can make use of it. Maybe increase spell damage and / or remove range adjusted?

Enchanting Scholar has been updated to v5!

Author's reason for this update:

Shortened code.

Enchanting Scholar has been updated to v6!

Author's reason for this update:

Changed tower model design.

[Ashbringer]

If the aura instead made the on spell cast event give the tower a buff that dealt spell damage on the tower's next attack (then removes itself) then this aura could affect all almost all autocasts and not just the few enemy targeted ones.

But that might be overcomplicating things.

Enchanting Scholar has been updated to v7!

Author's reason for this update:

Reworked Arcane Flux:
- It now works on any active ability, not just the ones that target creeps (active item abilities are the exception)
- A single instance of spell damage is dealt on attack after casting an ability
- Spell damage now scales and is dealt by the casting tower, not Enchanting Scholar only
- Rephrased ability tooltip accordingly
