Re: Need help with some stuff with Ritual/Path magic.
I have one last question (for now)... maybe...
I was trying to build a list of spells to be commonly cast. I was trying to make a lightning bolt spell with a stunning secondary with the turns metal Dr into Dr 1. But the closest I got to cost like 51 energy for 3rd damage. Does that sound ok? I was also trying to make a defensive blocking spell. One that took the kinetic energy out of hits. And i either got 6 energy, or 18 energy. Which makes more sense? Grreater or lesser efect? A sword or arrow both can come to rest naturally. But I don't know. Seems cheap for the effect. and lastly I was trying to make a signature fire attack. mostly one that delt damage, was an "essential lifebane" fire. Cause in fire that can't be easily put out and spread over a target making more lifebane fire. However. It wouldn't burn anything other than the person hit with the missile spell. It was long and complicated which made sense. I came to some 110energy or so. But I want another effect. But I don't know where to start. I want to treat things as though they were one flammability class higher. How would I model that? Any ideas? |

I didn't put surge and arching is why it wasn't triple didgits. that's what I thought as well. But the book said anything that could naturally stop was a lesser effect. So I didn't know. It felt like it needed to be more expensive. Ahh. That makes sense. Would that be a greater energy effect? Or what? |

For the lightning bolt, I didn't out surge in because I didn't feel the need to put an effect in that I didn't want. And arching, I don't know what book it's from off the top of my head. but the lesser effect was for destroy energy for the"defensive" spell to slow down an attack. in the book when it's talking about destroy energy, it says that if something could be stipend naturally, the example it uses is for a fire running out of fuel, it's a lesser effect. But stopping the sun from shining can't be done with a lesser because it's unnatural for the sun to just stop shining. I would see a sword swinging as a lesser effect. It's not normally in motion. And it will end it's motion if no additional force is applied. Much like the campfire example. that is what I was confused over. as for the asking about the greater effect, I was referring to the application of the incindiary modifier and how that would look when written out. |
