I already asked it in the other currently running topic, but the question seems to be too important so i open a own thread for it:
QUOTE ...your proposal brings up another question. Image you step in a BC of 3, and you have magic 6. Now you want to use the mana-static spell. To make it working you have to cast it at a force so high, that your effect is higher than the BC around you. So you cast a level 6 spell (your max. force at this moment), that is reduced to 3 (which would be useless) with a 3-force-points higher drain that is even physical (and i remember that the drain was even in optimal conditions nasty)....makes no sense to me. Only high-power initates could make this spell work. Or did i miss something again? Comments? |
