Empowerment and Adapt auras - a second look.

This is not a request to have these auras changed.

These auras grant pips when a player is affected by a spell with a minimum number of pips. Empowerment grants a pip when the wizard is affected by any spell with a cost of 4+ pips (X pip spells do not count). Adapt is similar, but grants a power pip when the wizard is affected by any 6+ pip spell.

The reason I'm drawing attention to these auras is that they are actually more useful than they appear at first glance. Many high level spells buff the caster in some way. This will trigger the aura. Savage Paw will trigger Empowerment. Artorius () and Sabretooth will trigger either aura. In short, many spells that blade or ward the caster become spammable when you have the right aura up. I haven't tested yet, but I suspect the same is true for Athena Battle Sight, Abominable Weaver, Hungry Caterpillar, various other Artorius spells, and so on.
