You know... I have never played WoW, but I know a bit about it. The upcoming expansion provides a new "profession" called the Inscriptor. The Inscriptor will supposedly be able to add attributes to pre-existing abilities. Quote from Wiki to follow:
"The profession of Inscription is similar to the profession of Enchanting. However, Inscription permanently enhances the attributes of players' spells and abilities. For example, an "Inscriber" could take the Fireball spell, and give it the ability to knockback or daze an enemy."
Now some may think this is a natural progression of ideas, but I can't help feeling like they stole this from HJ. What makes it worse is that former HJ Product Manager Simu-Melissa now works for Blizzard in some capacity.
I don't really know, just kinda struck me in an odd way.
EDIT: To explain, this inscription idea is exactly what the Wyr do. They add new abilities to equipment/spells you already have. Have a vanilla set of +20 (example) platemail, add Super Fancy Firemage Mojo Wyr to the plate to make it +20 with fire resistance. Or have Crazy Bard Lullabye spell; add Mad Shaman of Necromancer's Poison Voodoo to make the spell put targets to sleep AND poison DoT style.
