ART: odideph IDEA: odideph (inspired by this: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,37282.0.html) NOTES: Details: -A Chain card can be Chain of Elements or any Chain of <element name>. Check out the series (Elemental Chains) to see what cards specifically. -If you don't have any Chain cards remaining in your deck, this spell only draws your next card. Okay this one is a bit special. Example: 1) I cast Chain of Elements. I get 2 random quanta and i draw the next Chain card of my deck. 2) The turn after, i cast Chain of Elements. I get 2 quanta and my next Chain again. 3) Now i play 2 other Chains of Elements still in the same turn as the previous one. I draw 2 additional Chain cards. I also get 4 additional quanta, plus 8 additional quanta. (total this turn: 14 random quanta gained and 2 Chain cards). 4) Next turn, i play Chain of Elements again: I get 2 quanta and my next Chain, or my next card if i don't have any more Chains. For reference, maximum quanta you can gain (all 6 Chains in the same turn): -with Chain of Elements : (2 +4 +8 +16 +32 +64 = 126 - 6*12) = 54 quanta. You need 34 initial quanta to play the full 6-chain. -with Great Chain of Elements : (3 +6 +12 +24 +48 +96 = 189 - 6*15) = 99 quanta. You need 39 initial quanta to play the full 6-chain. Note that the full chain will be easy to play if you don't have other types of Chain cards: As long as you have the inital quanta requirement, it automatically draws the next Chain of Elements for you. If you like the concept please check out the other Chains. SERIES: Elemental Chains (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,42289.msg526204.html#msg526204)

I'd like any feedback on this before Crucible.

I like it.  Although it is quite confusing to me.  The wording of "Chain: play this again this turn for double quanta gain" had me thinking that you automatically just played this card twice.  I believe you mean, essentially, that if you have 2 Chain of Elements in your hand, you can play both in one turn and get twice as much as you would have if you spaced them out over two turns?

If you play them yourself, the effect of every successive play is double the previous one. That is the principle of the Chain mechanism.
This particular chain, however, automatically gives you the next chain on play, so it's an exception.
