Idea:
Channellers really need better spregen from levels. Also the -spregen
on energy aura should be removed. To counter that, the effectiveness
of drain room (only practical drain spell) could be somewhat lessened.

Rationale:
Currently you get about +5 effective regen from 30 guild levels. Math:
Less regen than other magical guilds (lets assume 25 from 30
guildlevels), -15 from blue aura, and another -5 from aura casts
(assuming about 50% of the time combat/combatticks). 25 - 15 - 5 = 5.

Drains help some here, but most of the time they are impractical, or
flat out useless, especially as they suffer from the sp-store-tune.
If I used some sp-store or casted drain enemies, I regen from 0 to
about 800-900 sps before getting full sps from drain room. When
draining, I more than double my regen, so this is (too?) good, when
applicaple. Usually it's just not.

Also, replenish ally is quite bad. Firstly, with the crappy guild
regen, you don't have too many sps to give. Secondly, replenish is
subject to sp-store tune, so can't often reple even if one had the sp.

Summary:
The bad damage of channublasts, lack of areaspells and bad regen makes
channellers just suck, compared to any other blasting guild. The tune
of the sp-transfer spells makes me just wish I'd done the traditonal
this-is-the-only-way-to-go mage/conju/(psi)/ss... So boring.

but they get golems. that can like, you know. walk. and sometimes talk. and
then other times, they can open doors. that in itself breaks eveyr fundamental
rule of the game. therefore the -regen is the only thing to balance this
otherwise unbalanceable power that is in the mud

golems. fear them

(ok yeah i feel sorry for the channu guild, it was once the best, and now one
of the worst, funny how a few tunes can just wreck a guild from fun and
interesting to ...well...poop! another big CLAP CLAP to shinarae!)
