OK! I did some brain storming! How about this?

Dimensional Lock (costs 3 Aether quanta): All unused enemy creature slots are disabled for 1 turn.

The implication is that your opponent can't play a creature card that turn. How is this different from "do not allow the opponent to play a creature card for 1 turn"? Well, the difference is, the opponent can still play a creature card if they free up one of their occupied slots. They can kill their own creature, and use that slot to play a new one.

Let me know what you think!
Good, and I'm believing more and more that you love to make up brand new skills :P
It'll be like a nerfed silence in a stick...

P.S. now that I think it, locking your opponent (by killing all creatures with one of this out) isn't that of a good idea...

OldTrees,

I'll adjust the costs as I get more feedback down the road. I'm sure I'll need to make many changes if this makes it to higher level sections (if it does,,,,)

Krathos,

Yes, I love creative stuff  :)

So, do you think this new skill can be OP if someone succeeds to lock their opponent's all slots? I'm thinking that, because Avatars cost high to play them in the first place, it's not going to be easy to do that. By the time you summon this Avatar, your opponent likely have multiple creatures already, and killing them all is not an easy task. But, I defintely see your point.

Time to do some more brain storming? lol

I say putting a cap to the skill or to the lock (like delaying the avatar, or killing it and making the skill free, or locking bottom and upper tiers, like flooding).

The problem is that aether already got silence, lighting and quint, so you could be able to lock like anything in a mono... Tweaking it would make the lock harder, thus making it balanced.

What if I make its skill to lock 1 row at a time? And, increase the lock duration to 3 turns? That way, user can lock 1 row, lock another in the next turn, and lock another in 3rd turn, but the first row will be unlocked the following turn.

BTW, your dancing video is making me really curious who is inside LOL

Hmm.. the new mechanic is interesting indeed, but would make this the only avatar which doesn't use its own quanta ( :aether) to work.. maybe make it cost aether quanta instead of  :air?

Oops, that was a mistake. I did that late at night last night, and the marks looked alike! lol. I'll fix it. Thanks for pointing that out.

Just to clarify: adjacent = right and left neighbor, not the ones above and below? If the creature is on the edge of the board, it will only gain from one neighbor?

Cool, I'm against those skills that take in account the places where the creatures are located, but I like the Deffusion thing :D

By adjacent, I mean any cards that are in contact at any pane. So, ups and downs also count. With the way the cards are outlined in Elements, a card could actually gain from 6 cards (if I'm not mistaken).

Krathos,

I actually wanted to use Fusion in place of Perfusion, but it would require "selecting two targets," which does not exist in the game interface as I hear, so I had to come up with something else.

I can see that this skill does not sound very fancy, but in reality, I think it can be pretty powerful. If you had Pharao and used this skill on a Scarab, you instantly get a very strong Scarab. You can use it with Oty too. Place Oty next to Armagio, and what do you get? Oty that can devour pretty much any creatures!

Moreover, if you have 2 of this Avatar and used each skill in one turn.... You can do the math on how quickly you can make powerful monsters.
