If this isn't a bug i think it seriously underpowers mages now. Mages have no special because they have binding attacks like ensare and the ice spells of ancient magicks. By doing this Jagex has made it hard for pure mages (myself and others) to PK and duel. The one thing we had over all the other classes was the ability to keep the opponent(sp?) at a distance, and now we cast the ensnare, they use RoS, we cast a god spell (i.e. Sara Strike), they run at us and we can't ensnare again for another second and half while we get owned by whip and dd specs. If it's not a bug...then JaGex sucks at geometry and keeping triangles equal...
