In reality, it's weaker than Chimera (one turn of impact, then gone), is repelled by Mirror Shield and Jade Shield, and unless you have enough creatures to deal at least 8 damage, it's useless.
unless the opponent has 1 of those 2 shields this works just like an Sky Blitz, but using every creature attack and halfbypassing all the other shields.

as I said before.

Poll added. Just looking for some more feedback :)

Sorry for the late comment. This card adds 1 turn advantage each time it is played. 8 :gravity|7 :gravity sounds fair for an offensive +1 turn advantage. (Defensive +3 turn advantage is worth 9 :aether|8 :aether)

Now Chimeric Mass combined with Spark or Ball Lightning does get a higher return on investment than other creatures. This synergy may need a nerf to bring it in line with the other synergies of this card. (Or it may be just fine)

Is a creature bolt spell worthwhile?
Pros:
It is a comeback (damagewise not creaturewise) card that would make another deck that could compete with creature spam rushing.
It is creative.
Cons:
It is a win more card because it scales in power with your advantage.
Chimera ensures damage and gives defensive turn advantage of a couple turns.
It is like unto Skyblitz

So while it does seem to be a quality card, Skyblitz has stolen its thunder.

Well, they can't all be winners. Pity. I still think Gravity needs a bolt of some sort.

Privy: this card will make some sort of comeback. Maybe not in this form, but something similar.
