ART: Malebolgia (MS Paint ftw) IDEA: Malebolgia NOTES: Instead of an AOE spell similar to downgraded Pandemonium, now has a shield effect similar to the Skull Shield.  For the Duality's Legacy competition.  SERIES: N/A

I quote: Things that ignore hp, such as this instant-kill spell, are not highly looked upon in ETG.
Also, Duality's legacy isn't a series, it's a competition.

But anyway, i like the effect, and to get around the instant-kill part, why not make it like Rain of Fire and gain quanta that way?

I'd suggest making it like Skull Shield, in that higher HP creatures have a greater chance to survive.  I think the instant kill in this case is somewhat balanced because it hits you too, but the fact that it's completely random is a bit too much.  A nice idea.

Trying to completely outshine Skull Shield, aren't you?

I completely disagree.
Have you not noticed that skull shield is basically instant kill aswell? remember, skull shield kills creature and turns into a skeleton, plus it blocks 1 damage, thats pretty much instant kill imo.

This is completely different, if you also havent noticed, its 50 / HP, so in the beginning attacking creatures have a 0.5% chance of getting killed, meaning you get more quanta.
however as you get damaged:

90 = 0.55%
80 = 0.7%
70 = 1.1%
20 = 2%.

If anything, this is Extremely underpowered.
I would say changing to this:

attacking creatures have X multiplied by 2 % chance to die. X = total  quanta.

so if you have 20 quanta, attacking creatures have a 40% chance to die, pretty much close to skull buckler.

Imo, this would go nicely with Flesh recluse + mitosis.

Alright, a few things.
1: 50/HP... sound familiar? That's the same percent Skull Shield has, unless I've misinterpreted. If it depends on YOUR HP, that's different, but I'm fairly certain it's not like that.
2: Your suggestion is pretty OP in my opinion. I get 50 death quanta, everything that touches me dies! That's pretty harsh when you have Soul Catcher in the same element. Also, while your idea is interesting, this card is for the Duality competition and should try to stay / for the competition's sake.

Skull Shield's formula is 50%/creature's HP. Taken from http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,26283.0/topicseen.html.

@Flayne, for your percentages, i think you forgot to multiply by 100. .55% is less than 1%, you know, Right?

Lastly, i admit i misread the card. Sorry.

Thats my point, 0.55% is too low

Are you sure that's not just a matter of incorrect syntax?

50/90 = 5/9 = 55.555555....5555... etc. = 55.56% (rounded)

Just so you two know, nobody misread anything, he changed the card after my suggestion, so you were talking about two different cards.
