This ability is passive.
Status effects include poison, buffs, debuffs, quint., growth, airborne, momentum, etc.

Another great idea!
I'll leave the balancing to the people who actually know how to calculate costs though :D

Costs have i think always been my worst field

I have no idea how to calculate for the costs of Spells... only creatures.

I'll give it a shot though :D
It effects 2 creatures, so that's 2 :water
Another 2 :water since it essentially acts as a buff to another creature.

So 4|3?

Someone correct me!

Add 1 :water since it essentially acts as a buff to another creature.

So 3|2?

Someone correct me!
Here's the correction- it's a mass effect (at the moment, but it might be changed) not just for two creatures

I'll just let OldTrees or Zblader handle this then >.< Sorry haha, still new at this.

To quote Oldtrees:

Quote from: Oldtrees
I have been summoned.
XD  On to card balancing.

Spell Cost:
Ability: Using Ajit's card as a measure, I'd say the effect is worth +2.
Spell Bonus: +2
Final Cost : 4  :water | 3  :water

That worked really really well.  8)

Also, do you want art for this card? I have a good image in mind.

Nice OT quote  :P :P
Hooray! for a balanced cost on the first try!
The idea for this card was more my friend's, and he wants to do the art. but please, show me what you've thought of! I won't be shunning art
i'm also already working on the art for Telenergy

I like the idea, but it looks like it's only water having synergy with water. since it's a mass effect, could you alter it to represent more?

Sure. Would you like the other elements to be shown or just water?

The other elements. It's a field-wide synergy

I know this is kind of off-topic but could someone tell me how to figure out the cost of a spell? o-o
Please and Thank You.

There is no formula on how to do that, right now your best bet is to compare it to other cards currently in the game.

@Rutarete:
Here's the multi-element version. Was fun to make. :D

Finally going to submit this to the crucible. Thanks again to Zblader for art.
Any last comments before submission?

Great idea! Water gets a huge buff. Yay! :)

I think the wording should be: "Target creature gains Synergy...blah."

About the wording... gains doesn't really fit...

Are only status effects like poison, momentum, and adrenaline considered?  Or are changes to the attack and health stats copied as well?  If the latter is true, this could have some beneficial effects for creature-buffing.  *dreams of field-blessable Pegasi*

Attack and Hp changes are also copied. Don't forget that this means twice the vulnerability, also. Negative affects are part of it.

I can see a Water/Darkness duo built around this card, Voodoo Doll, and Ice Lance.  Oh, and don't forget my Siren card...

Don't get me wrong, the art is good, but the line down the center is a little off putting, I think the art would be really cool with that little enhancement

The line represents the synergy created by Water, think of it as a lens, prism or mirror.
