    It will be halved first (so your ray of light is actually a spark, which isn't that overpowered).

    There's only a few situations I can see this being worth the cost (not just quanta, but also creature health).  Most obvious is when you have a lot of creatures out, but you have to wait until then to play it, meaning a dead card in your hand for a long time.

    Second, you can play this card for a little edge to finish someone off, even if you have only a handful of creatures out, every point of damage makes a difference.  It only works for rainbows or light decks, though, with a cost that high.  Rainbow decks would spam this card mercilessly, and they'd have the light quanta to use it - an OP scenario, because every rainbow would have to use it in order to face another rainbow.

    The most common deck I can think of involving Light right now is RoL Fractal-Hope.  If, as the card says, halving rounds down, it'll kill creatures with 1 health.  The way the game mechanic works, if a spell drops a creature's health to zero, it dies IMMEDIATELY.  It won't act at all like a Spark, it'll just die before it attacks.  Whereas if you change the rounding to UP, you could never kill a creature with this spell, and critters with 1 health would have nothing to lose.  This would be an ESSENTIAL card in any RoL/Hope deck, usable repeatedly and very OP since you're dealing with a full field of Rays.  Bye-bye Light Dragons.

    Very problematic card.  Every situation I can think of makes this card either pointless or essential - either UP or OP.  Full-field type decks could crank out 46 extra damage for EVERY one of these played, but for non-swarming decks, the cost is prohibitive.

    lol Imagine you Fractal Ball Lightning then activate this OR even better, activate 3 at a time, and if you get a whole 8 of them out that's 88 damage!!xD  Have a TU and and a empty hand fractal and you can end the game in 1 turn xD  This is a bit UP compared to Nightfall/Eclipse however that only affects Dark and Death creatures.  Also, this increase is permanent right?  So it can't be all that bad... you might want to get a better picture though.

    Massively overpriced.  Either take the half-HP thing off, or reduce the price to 5 :light and 4 :light resepctively.
    If something happens and you think it deserves my attention, feel free to PM me. Other than that, I'm probably here if you want to shoot the breeze.
