Still too powerful, because every sea, every river, every ocean would
become crossable w.o any difficulties. Also my ferries would become
obsolete, I have a transport system, which players can use to cross the
oceans and seas and go to the other islands (whole world is just a bunch
of islands). So swimming is a mv hog and there is no way that you could
swim across the oceans and when I add random currents in the oceans, then
it will be practically impossible :)

With speedwalking it doesn't matter, you can ran thru whole mud in less
than a tick.. :) So, this is not a good solution also.. :) I also renamed
fly into levitate, because imho, when you cast fly you're not flying like
a bird, you're just hovering few inches above the ground, so you don't
have to move your legs to move around, you are drifting... But this is
just how I see things.. :)

I don't have ANY spells accumulative :)

The same as with mana cost.. :)

This might be a good idea :)
