Acceleration | Overdrive

[EvaRia]

NAME: Acceleration ELEMENT: Gravity COST: 3 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: ABILITY: Target Creature loses current activated ability but instead gains +1/-1 per turn. Momentum.	NAME: Overdrive ELEMENT: Gravity COST: 5 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: ABILITY: Target Creature loses current activated ability but instead gains +2/-1 per turn. Momentum.

ART: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/730968 Photo by asifthebes IDEA: EvaRia NOTES: Does not stack. An Activated Ability is an ability that you need to click on the card in order to activate. Activated abilities are removed. Non-Activated abilities are added to the creature's passive skill list. Acceleration | Overdrive then becomes the creature's active ability. If the creature is delayed, then no stat change happens for the duration of the delay. If the creature is frozen, then effect continues as normal. If the creature is adrenalined, then it's stats will change each attack instead of each turn. If the creature is lobotomized, it will lose the effect of this card. SERIES:

I like this idea. It is another use for gravity's high amount of HP.

This+flying titan (or colossal dragon) =

But flying titan might get its HP reduced so its not as bad.

Overall I actually like the idea...

If it makes it through, I get the feeling it's going to be used a lot =O
Unlike a lot of the cards I see here, I wasn't trying to make anything gimmicky or highly situational,
just something useful that takes advantage of Gravity's high hp.

This+flying titan (or colossal dragon) =

It's not like it instantly gains +20/-20. This is like a form of "minor-ablaze" with no cost, and it makes the creature more vulnerable over time. I'd say it's fair.

This and voodoo dolls would be cool.

[Kuroaitou]

This and voodoo dolls would be cool.

Agreed. This card provides more synergy between Gravity and Darkness, which is always a nice touch (even though it's a little bit similar to the Liquid Shadow/Vampire effect from losing health per turn). 

That said Eva, you should probably fix the following before submitting this card to the Crucible:
-Remove the  symbol from the 'Element' section of your table box. "Gravity quanta Gravity" is a bit redundant and icons should never be placed inside the Element box
-You might have to change your artwork. The link you provided is also an 'istock' photo, which means it's not free for public use: http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-2073811-highway-at-night-german-autobahn.php

Added in "loses current active ability" to prevent +4/+1 per turn on lava golems and forest spirits, as well as dive, on an afterthought.
I will take into account the art thing, I'm bad at drawing so I sorta went with what I could find, lol.
If someone posts better art for this I would be more than glad to use it.
Took out Gravity symbols under element as suggested as well.
Now where's the Curator?

He'll come to it when it's ready EvaRia.

That said, here's some artwork that's apparently royalty free, and doesn't require artist credit (I believe): http://www.sxc.hu/photo/730968

Also - you have a discrepancy between your upgraded table description for the card ability. ('lose' should be 'loses', based on the upgraded card image you have). Try to fix those up as well, okay? ^^;

[EvaRia]

You would not believe how many times i modified in the last couple minutes ><
Checking out the artwork...
oohhh that'll work =]
tyvm
working on account stuff for that site and remaking the image...
again><
and yes, I will be crediting the artist according to the site regulations. (No worries though =])

[EvaRia]

And finished (finally ><).
Wow, that art looks way better than my original =D

Slight change to notes. (Changed description for "active" ability, factored in delay.)

Ideas for freezes?
Thing moving very fast being frozen = bad, but how bad?

[the Sage]

I would make the upgraded one cost 3  as well, and make it do +2/-2 instead of +2/-1.

Since this is a card that will be used with high hp creeps anyway (basilisk blood, stone form gargoyle, flying titan, you name it), this will still be powerful. It's actually like acceleration, but FASTER! =D

Also, I'm not a great fan of the upgraded name (Overboost). I guess I'd like Overdrive better.
I do very much like the name Acceleration, since it matches very nicely with gravity and momentum in providing that real physics feel to the element (and to the science feel of the game in general).
