ART: Ignion IDEA: Ignion NOTES: Avatar: A variant form of an entity. Elemental Avatar Legend:      Endless time has passed since the creatures of opposing elements began the epic war. Some fought for justice; some fought for faith; some fought for peace; some fought to survive. A countless battle after another was fought from dusk till dawn. Million lives have been lost. As the lost souls returned to their respective elemental creator, the elementilord, elementilords shed tears for their lost children. That was when the miracle happened. Their tears were transformed into avatars, embodiments of elementilord's sorrow, love, and magical power. They are also reincarnations of the lost elemental creatures.      Because they were born of the lost souls and elementilords' wish to end the war, they are void of attack powers. Instead, each avatar was born with a unique miraculous power, a miracle that reflects their wish to bring an end to the war and the sufferings.       The Life Avatar thought, "I will end this war by turning everyone into trees." Thus was born Life Drain, the synthetic power to bring about rebirth."       The legend says that the avatars will only show themselves to those who possess kindness, love, and will to end the war. Will their dream come true? Perhaps it is in your hands now. Thus, the epic battle of Elements continues... SERIES: Avatar Series (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,19650.0.html)

I am liking this series.
Are there going to be any cards that effect all avatars/ an other element one/ something that generates them?

The mechanic is ok, but draining life is more darkness oriented. You may want to tweak the effect.

Thanks for the feedback. I actually disagree slightly though. If you look at the creatures in nature, we have many living beings that live by draining from others. There are leeches, mosquito, parasites, mushrooms, or even trees that grow on another to sap life force out of it. So, I hope it's ok for me to leave it as it is.

that is completely true in real life but in game parasites and leeches are more darkness related (machanic wise), but I dont think it is such a problem any way.

I know Ignion, and I tend to design cards that follow RL mechanics more than the game's too. Check out my Raging Vines, for example. Just pointing that out because card curators tend to consider it when giving advice.

[Ignion]

Yea, I appreciate your inputs 

I think another attribute that makes this skill more Life is its feature to "generate" life quanta. If it is just stealing or sucking like vampire, I'd agree that this is more darkness or death skill, but Life Avatar is basically absorbing HP and converting them into Life energy (quanta), so it is more generative in nature. At least, that was my thought.

But, it's just one man's opinon, so I'd like to hear what other people think too. Do I need to change this???

[YoYoBro]

In my opinion, if needed, you could absorb quanta from your opponent and transform them into green quanta (kind of photosyntesis). But the current mechanic is good too.

[Ignion]

Yea, good point. But, it kinda takes away originality because we already have cards that target opponent's quanta. I wanted something a little "different" (can you tell I am an attention seeker? LOL).

[YoYoBro]

Sucking up small chunks of the opponent's quanta as activated ability still doesn't exist we only have black hole and pest... But nor does the present mechanic, so the choice is up to you.

[Ignion]

Thanks, YoYoBro.

It might need to be changed with further feedback if my Avatar Series makese its way to higher levels in this thread, but for now I'll just leave as it is. I still very much appreciate your comments (not just on this one but for all my Avatars).

No problem, helping creative people is always a pleasure.
