NOTES:
Inspired by this week's Featured Card on the Wiki (http://elementswiki.co.cc/)!
Casting costs are a bit off, I'm sure. This card pretty much came to me in a rush so I'm none too certain how it would work out. I can see it getting out of hand way too easily though. You can reference Chimera (http://elementswiki.co.cc/cards-gravity/chimera-chimera/) for more information on the "+" damage effect.

Seems overpowered and redondant with chimera. Sorry. But nice art

I think this should be a lot more expensive..
If you had creatures with the cost sum of 20 Quanta, you just need to spend 7  :gravity to deal 20 Quanta worth of damage.

I concur with all of the above.

You could make it so that it's cost is equal to the cost of all the creatures on your side of the field.

. . . It doesn't occur to you guys that this thing is a creature-based bolt? If I wanna deal 40 damage all at once, I'm not gonna spend 40 quanta, especially since I spent the equivalent just getting the creatures out there so I could use the card!
Perception is the source of misunderstanding.

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

You're right but compared to Bolt, this can deal so much more damage.

+1 Damage per 10 Quanta of THAT element.  :fire for fire bolt and  :water for ice bolt.

This is +x damage for ALL the creatures, not taking the element into account.

this should cost a little more than Sky Blitz as it does the same but halfbypasses shields. and dont only uses airborne creatures.

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.

This was originally based off the Bolts for balancing at first. My primary concern was whether or not this card should even be made, so I cracked open the wiki and that's when I saw Chimera as the Featured Card (which in turn told me, in a grave voice, "Maaaaaake the caaaaard.") Then I saw the 3x10 formula of the bolts and said, "Sure!" Then I looked at Gravity and said, "Ew, Gravity needs this." Hence, Chimeric Mass. Was supposed to be Critical Mass, but Johann beat me to it :)

As I stated in the notes, I just wasn't sure how this card would go over. I have my doubts tho.

It's a good idea.
You could add "Bypasses all shields" so it fits Gravity more.

I thought about flipping the upped card to take its effect from creatures' HP instead of Attack. I saw a card somewhere along the way that did something similar but I'll be damned if I can remember which card it was.
