ART:

IDEA:
Ajit
NOTES:
- Absorb means Volt Mage takes away from your quanta stockpile, not the enemy's
- If Volt Mage doesn't have any :aether to consume, it dies
- Ability is permanent.  Until target dies or Volt Mage dies, all buffs and de-buffs will affect both of them
- Volt Mage can target multiple creatures (not in one turn however)
- Statuses do not transfer to Volt Mage (delay, frozen, etc.)
- Even if target is a dark/death creature, Eclipse will not affect Volt Mage

I think the ability is too weak
 :aether + :aether per turn? to gain an extra blessing per blessing played?
I am not sure.

However I really like the ability and I feel it will easily be balanced in time.

Oh and the art is amazing too.

You can target enemy creatures as well, so the enemy buffing will be their own un-doing.  But anyways if too weak, it should hopefully be as simple as reducing the casting cost.  Thanks for the help :) and compliment on the art.

Can it only be used on the opponent or can you target your own creatures and get twice the boost for the same price? Actually, forget about that, why not have a VI target your own VI targeting your other VI ect. ect. connecting to a Spectre? I like the electrical current thing going on! I am truly mind-boggled X3

**not to mention the amazing art, which would be an overkill to my brain hahaha

How will it treat Dive and damage CC?

Good point.
Possible fix:Emulate removes the Emulated status

I like the Volt Mage chain too much to let it go away! Why not have emulate remove the emulate ability instead? "Emulate - Remove Emulate ability from target. Any stat changes to target also effect Volt Mage."

I say anti-loop... It copies by turns, so if Illusionist 1 Emules Illusionist 2 and vice versa, if you bless one of them, it'll bless the other, but not the other way around, or maybe if you keep adding Emulations between them... It should be some not so complicated script to make it work.

Hmm so many possibly solutions on how this ability will function... I'll have to think on this.  Thanks for the critical reviews guys!

Great card idea, this would either be an anti buff (eg. Firemaster, lava golem etc) or a double buff on itself, pretty balanced, great idea.
love what u did with the photo  :P
