-Remove the '@' symbol in the Element section of your table. That's not the icon for it. ^^;;;
-Please use the specific link to the card art rather than providing the general site link from where you got your image from; in other words, put this link into the card art box: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/989644


By 'cumulative', you mean this effect lasts for every creature that dies on your field, this permanent still works, right? I kind of like it, but its mechanic seems very... unusual to belong to the 'Other' school.

By cumulative i mean more Restorations you have, you get back quanta for each. e.g. your two ash eaters die, and you have 3 restoration, then you get back 6

only problem i see with this is what if you have a creature say like shortsword or gavel + flying weapon out.. and it dies... then what? it doesnt keep track of the random quantum that was paid for it.  so what would u get in return?

I think it should pay out random quanta the spread out thru the spectrum not all in one element.

[bored_ninja777]

well if its paying its cost how does it pick which one to randomly go to? *other* are the only ones that would cause problems.

you get random quanta

[bored_ninja777]

but that doesn't reflect its cost.... if you paid 3 , 1 , 1 for a 5 other weapon for example getting its cost back as random would almost never give you what you paid for it back. if u want it to just simply give random back i guess it works.

i dont  get your question... random means it picks randomly. e.g.  you have flying gavel.. gavel's cost is 2, so you get 2 random quanta if flying gavel is destroyed for each restoration you have.

random weapon's cost is 1 random quantum. not 1  or 1 . so you get back 1 random quantum.

[bored_ninja777]

yes its cost = 1... but it picks a random to begin with.. so it will pick 1 of 12 elements.. whichever it picks is its true cost  in my opinion.. so if i get the cost back it SHOULD be the same element used to pay for it..

i understand you, its about how you define "cost". imho cost of the card is indicated in the upper right corner of each card. that means long sword's cost is 1 random quantum.
