This is basically the second effect of SoR on all permanents. And creatures. /All cards in play. /We seriously need a unified word for permanents and creatures. SERIES:

[dragtom]

it nowhere sais that it only triggers for permanents, except in the notes
I dont know how to fit it on the card, though  I think it's important enough that it needs to be on there.

[Espithel]

... Stupid silly me getting me and my magic mixed up. ¬_¬

All permanents and all creatures*. There.
All cards in play*
Various other methods of errata*
All non-spell cards*
Why does there have to be so much magic overlap ;~;

[dragtom]

also, this + mitosis + SoR = 23 frogs.

[Espithel]

That is true. ... I think. Can't remember how SoR works on time cr- No, it works all right.

At the cost of about 16-12 quanta a turn.

i meant to say next turn it means 23 frogs.

SoR takes away the high mitosis cost.

adding a quint and you have a 3 turn kill vs almost every fg (only huge bone walls help),
with only 4 cards.

you could also add a green nymph + SoR,
not for otk-ing but to get huge damage for relatively low cost.

mitosis makes this very strong,
so either make this only work once or twice per turn (like SoR),
or only have this work when played directly from hand.

[Espithel]

When I said it was a SoR on all permanents, I wasn't being literal.
That was a comparative.

...Although, I guess I should have said "The second effect of SoR", not just SoR...
But who uses SoR for the first effect...Don't flame me with a thousand examples, I know that was a stupid comment >:|

Okay, I'll re-clarify the notes.

[kaempfer13]

In order to prevent dragtom's (almost shortened your name to drag, sorry) scenario, you will have to make it work like a battlecry in hearthstone. I guess in elements this would translate to a spellcard that summons Coqui frog and readies all abilities. Or it can be fixed by not affecting 0 cost abilities.

[Espithel]

Or we can just make it not work on Coqui Frogs.

[jarozaoz]

Ewentually, something like "Startle only works after one turn without summoning any creature." or something like that.

[OdinVanguard]

Alternative would be to have it absorb quanta to function...

That way you could indeed still spam frogs, but you would need a decent chunk of off element quanta to do so.
Considering that this frog has a high price already that should be enough to mitigate potential for abuse with mitosis.

It would also be a good way to work in a synnergy with a second element. I think would be a good choice since multi-ability use effect has already been established by SoR, so it helps to keep that little niche for time's theme intact.

Maybe something like:
"Startle: Absorb per card in play to ready each card's skills.
Opponent may use skills twice next turn."

Or you can just assume that people know it will only be 1 time per turn since that is how SoR behaves.

There is no explicit statement that its bonus skill use effect cannot be used more than once per creature, but that is how it functions.

moar Sky blitz = no. I think SoR's skill boost only affects  creatures because of blitz.
