-2/+0, and swap a medium creature's HP with its attack. Target gains Acceleration.
ART:
Modified Maxwell's Demon
IDEA:
Saynt
NOTES:
The fourth and final Demon. Medium creature refers to any creature with 5-15 HP. The creature does not count if its HP becomes 15 or lower after the stat deduction. The stat change takes effect before the swap, so if a 2|11 creature is targeted, its stats become 0|8, and then swap to become 8|0. Stats cannot be lowered to below 0.

It is the greatest mystery of all...

Titan. 'Nuff said.
Perception is the source of misunderstanding.

Why, yes. I do have a Mindgate necklace. It's how I ninja everyone.

Ya. Titan makes this pretty OP.
And also its kinda like catapult in some circumstances (Armagio/Voodoo). But minus the shield avoidance.

Would "medium creature" work? The HP range would be between 5 - 15.

I like this idea, will definitely vote for it in the Crucible. Could build up some deadly damage with a Colossal Dragon combo.

EDIT: Also, love the idea of naming Demons after great thinkers like Laplace and Descartes...but the name Morton is unfamiliar to me. What did he/she do?

This article discusses confirmation bias, and uses the term "Morton's Demon" (named after the author) to compare it to Maxwell's Demon. (http://www.talkorigins.org/origins/postmonth/feb02.html)

Not sure whether I want to submit it yet...
