ART: Zanzarino for the marks basket: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/968595 IDEA: AngeDeMort NOTES: Gives the target gatherer status. Gatherer is lobotomizable and works like dragonfly's skill. Does not remove current skills SERIES:

Far too UP for the cost, unless it produces much more than 1 quantum.  Existing generators all cost 0 or 1, and this requires a creature in play already (meaning you already have generated quanta of that type).

Could actually be a nice idea if it cost 1 quanta of a certain element (say, for enhanced Adrenaline synergy). It could act as mini-lobo, it could be used to round out quanta production in trio decks and its versatility + lobo effect would make for an intresting mechanic. Maybe even 2 | 1 .

Immolation and soul catcher require a creature to be played, and also die to produce quanta, this lets them live. I suppose I could lower the cost by 2 on each but it's meant to run in decks with more than 2 elements to help balance the quanta production and 6 quanta for a trio is pretty easy to get.

It doesn't (at the moment) lobo, it's meant to be an additional skill the creature learns, supplementing any other skill the creature has. For example you throw this on a a deja vu, it doesn't lose it's deja vu skill it just gains the ability to produce . This would double the production of any creature that already produces quanta like dragonfly or gnome rider

Yes, but Immolation generates 7+11 quanta instantly.  Soul Catcher doesn't require you to have a creature (works off of opponent creature death as well) and has to be destroyed separately by PC (generally not as easy as killing a creature), plus it has plenty of synergistic cards to work with it.  Both of those are free, and I think your card should at most be 2|1 in cost.

I think it should be a lobo effect.

Reworked the costs and added a poll for lobotomize effect

What will happen if "Other" creature a.k.a Malignant Cell is targeted by this card? Quantum Pillar effect?

I hadn't though about "other" creatures since there are really none but malignant cell and flown other weapons. I suppose the answer would be yes it would generate a random quanta every turn but only 1 not 3 like quantum pillar

[DrOctaganapus2]

How would this work on a creature that produces quanta.

So a Gemfinder than produces 1  than given this ability generates  ?

[tyranim]

im a little torn, but i chose no on the lobo thing... unless you.... F***! im torn... you know what? i vote yes, because then it will be a lobo spell and all it does is helps your opponent gain a little bit of quanta. i like it. you have the lobo effect without being limited to certain quantum to use

[AngeDeMort]

Yes a Gemfinder targeted by this would then produce  every turn under the current mechanics although the poll is showing that the community prefers it to lobotomize which would make a Gemfinder targeted by this simply produce every turn since it would remove the first generation.

I'm actually having second thoughts about even considering a lobotomize effect since (in my mind at least) I'd be more prone to use this to lobo enemy creatures rather than my own just to gain extra quanta ... I might need an Idea Factory member's ruling on whether a lobo effect would make the primary effect quanta generation or lobotomizing creatures, since quanta generation is the purpose of the contest and should be the primary role.
