ART: wrn (edited by Hyroen) www.sxc.hu SPECIFIC: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/910074 IDEA: Hyroen NOTES: "Misses" refers to the effect both Fog Shield | Improved Fog and Dusk Mantle | Improved Dusk have on creature attacks with variable probability of occuring. The skill of Mirage | Mirage produces shields, automatically playing them in its owner's shield slot replacing any shield they may have had. SERIES:

This might give problems with Wings. I could be wrong but I think all ground-bound creatures "miss" when there's a wings shield up.
I know you just mentioned on your notes that these misses shouldn't count towards the mirage effect, but the game mechanics say otherwise.
Also there's quite an overlap with the dragonfly ability, but since this is a permanent it shouldn't matter much.

Great work nonetheless, and I might be wrong about the things stated above.

So this is just an endless shield supply that PC will never be rid of?
I say make it a one/two time use

[Hyroen]

@Jappert: Oh really? I thought it was like a Phase Shield for non-airborne creatures.

@Rutarete: You --could-- get rid of Mirage instead *wink*

[Rutarete]

I was more thinking of Enchant Artifact

[Dragoon1140]

Sundial also produces a "MISSED" effect.  If that's intended, I can see some problems with it + Adren.

Creatures miss vs a phase shield aswell It's not like they don't attack at all.

[Hyroen]

Ah. Hahaha, I thought against Phase Shields and Wings it was like the creatures ran into a glass door of sorts.

Meh, if there really is this problem I'd only consider it a benefit to Mirage, not something that would make it too strong.

And if you really wanted to PA this, you might as well PA the shield instead. ^_^

If it really is too strong I may increase playing cost by 1 .

[EvaRia]

I like it.
I don't see it as being much different from Solar Buckler, I think you could afford to even decrease the cost a touch.

^^This, apart from that, it's a 2-card combo, and many times, from 2 different elements, not to mention it generates  , so it isn't a soo great deal.

I like it.

[Ajit]

Awesome idea, strengthens the fog shield nicely.

[Hyroen]

I'm glad you guys liked it. It --is-- a lot of effort for a system similar to that of Solar Shield...

And while Air's haxx shield is interesting in so many ways and has probably saved us so many times, I just don't see Air headed in multiple solid directions, or even one for that matter.

Do we want to focus on it's affinity for dodging (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,21529.0.html)? The airborne passive (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,20159.0.html=)? Its innate liberty in and out of the field (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,20913.0.html)?

Whatever the case may be, there must be more of it and soon, to once and for all unify the element of Air.

I wonder what QuantumT has to say about this idea... ^_^
