First spell cast in SR4A last week end.
It was a massive FOR 8 Powerball(?) (Type P, Damage P, Direct, Area) Caster roll 3 aditionnal success. Everyone take 11P resisting only with body (and one spell-lunger with counterspell 4). Caster took a large drain hit, physical. Opposition lie in wreck. -------- That feel really, really strong to me. Especially as I could have dual cast the spell and be nearly assured to have them all dead even without using Edge. Am I missing something or is Direct magic really that strong ? |
