Best Weapon Competition: Gravity Splitter https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=4101.msg40012#msg40012

Cost: 5  :gravity (unupped), 5  :gravity (upped)
Damage: 4 damage (unupped), 4 damage (upped)
Ability Cost: 4  :gravity (unupped), 3  :gravity (upped)
Ability: Splits target creature into two with each creature having half the attack power and hit points. Special abilities do not carry over.
Flying: 4/5 (unupped), 4/5(upped)

This would work in tandem with the Otyugh being able to mince creatures down to eatable size and helps with dmg reduction if a shield is present. Although it would be detrimental if you had gravity shield up.  Might make Oty's a bit overpowered. As if they need help as it is.

Well, I'd say Gravity is more about joining, it holds planets together and us down to them.

As for the effect... I'd say that for that cost it's pretty fine. You could just splash some Armor with an Earthmark and be done with it...

Hmm nice idea, pity that the competetion has finished.

This could be incredibly useful just one question the half is rounded down or up?

Oh another question:

Special effects don't carry over? Does this mean if I use this on a frozen creature it is unfrozen? In that case would it work the same on Basilisk Blood?

Could be very nasty as a way of creature control.

Good work.

I would think the HP rounds up. Also special effects would stay on like poison, freeze, etc. What doesn't carry over are special abilities. This prevents from using it on yourself and abusing it, say you mutated a creature with steal/destroy/etc, splitting that would probably make it OP.

Also i meant the Attack Power to be halved as well. So if a Basalt got split it would turn into 2 5/6 basalts. So if you had a -2 shield up a basalt would now do only 6 total damage instead of 8.

And i thought the competition might be over but it just came to me so i figured i'll just post it.

Well thought out reply. I think that with spillting attack it would become less OP and yes I agree no special abilites should carry over. I am glad that status carries over though otherwise would be an instant removal technique and a duoble up.

Good work.
