I based it off a pokemon move "Future Sight"
On the turn Future Sight is selected, this attack will do nothing other than say that the user has foreseen an attack. Two turns later, Future Sight will do damage against the target
This is actually a lot stronger than Fire Bolt (hence the delay). The delay can also catch opponents off guard when they think they're safe (I for one doze off in pvp and forget whats happening). Won't be much use against the AI though :/
Make it 2 turns of delay, or even 1, and well talk. It's only more damaging than Fire Bolt once you get past 9 quanta, but other than that it's a lot weaker due to the delay effect combined with the fact that that it won't even manage to deal 3 damage unless you're up to 9 quanta.
I'd propose a change to 2 damage per 3 quanta, and to make the delay proportional. For example, if I has less than 10 
, it's be 1 turn of delay. 10-20, 2 turns. 20+ caps at 3 turns.
Hmm. sounds good.
"Bolt's/Shock's effect will occur in the near future"
Does that wording sound all right to you guys?
Ah, yes, I remember Future Sight. I always thought it was a terrible move, since the trade-off offered barely any extra power. Perish Song (I think it's called?) was much better for delayed damage purposes (That'd be the one that kills both in ~3 turns?). The same with this card, I think, because of the simple fact that the rise in damage is very small, instead of 3:10+3 it's more similar to 3:9+1 (Just assuming it'd work with that +1/2/3 stuff like the Bolts and Siphon) with a minimal +1 or +2 damage in between.
Then you add in the delay...
And end up with something much worse than Fire Bolt. One alternative would be to have it delay the attacked creature as well, but that's kind of stealing off of Ice Lance (Although it could be changed so it dealt 1:10 and maybe did 2 stasis per 10... But that's getting off track).
Kind of counterproductive if the opponent plays a mirror/jade shield when they see it coming, after you play it.
I think it wouldn't matter, probably, since you've already targeted them, the damage that actually hits later in more similar to poison.
