Hm.
Adrenaline: *hears the phone ring and picks it up* "...hello?"
??: Hey, is this Adrenaline speaking?
Adrenaline: Yes?
Morning Glory: Ah, okay. It's your old friend Morning Glory! Remember how you always wanted to hang out with me and Animate Weapon when we were a little... you know?
Adrenaline: Yeah! Do yo-
Morning Glory: So yeah, I really never wanted to hang out with you. You were pretty much useless to me. Found a BF {Blinding Flurry}, so... don't hate. Bye! *phone rings dead*
Adrenaline:  ...
...but yeah. I like this idea, but it only seems to benefit certain weapons (Discord, Vampire Dagger, Jade Staff, and Arsenic) due to their passive effects. It's similar to what I suggested in another thread, but my idea had two different concepts (letting the weapon attack multiple times or refreshing the ability if it could be activated).

Why does it cost so much quanta? Is it stackable?

[icybraker]

The word "thrice" is dated. "Three times" sounds more acceptable.

Yeah, I've thought of this before but you've done it well.

Seems a bit expensive, actually... 5 and 7 seem fine to me. I'm assuming passive status effects like Arsenic's Venom also applies twice. Does this still apply after the weapon is Flown? Do you really need the "Accelerated" thing? Can't you just say "Your weapon attacks twice every turn"? Does it stack?

Otherwise, great mechanic. Doesn't seem overpowered.

[Essence]

The whole reason I phrased it as a status effect is to make it clear that it doesn't stack.  It also doesn't follow the weapon when it's Animated, and for the record doesn't target the weapon, so it works with Morning Glory.


And yes, it's intended to work better with passive-ability weapons like Discord than with active-ability weapons like Eagle's Eye.

[finkel]

would this+flying weapon result in essentially a weapon with adrenaline?

[Essence]

No, Finkel -- Animate Weapon mechanically simply destroys your weapon and creates a brand-new creature based on what weapon got destroyed, so any effects on the weapon don't carry over.

CURATOR COMMENT

To advance to the Crucible you will need to use a non-watermarked image on the basic card. The Creative editiing you used on the upgraded card works well enough to hide the mark, so I'm going to say its ok even tho I know its still there.

[dragonhuman]

hasn't this idea been suggested before as a darkness card?

[Essence]

Yep.  By me.  And SG, Kael, someone else, and I all agreed that it would be better as an Air card.

[SeddyRocky]

This + Farenheit and fireflies? (or just animate weapon).
Cab't really see what this would do that animate weapon could, except using it on morning glory and quinted flying weapons before adrenalined.

[Flayne]

this + Farenheit + 240  = win :-D
 

[Lifestream]

This + Arsenic = poison spamming
