NAME: Topaz Stone ELEMENT: Time COST: 8 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 0|2 TEXT: Generates every turn. : Repeat Time Factories create quanta.	NAME: Topaz Gem ELEMENT: Time COST: 7 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 0|2 TEXT: Generates every turn. : Repeat Time Towers create quanta.

ART: Jacob Philpott (Ajit), original photo part of the public domain IDEA: Ajit NOTES: - The repeat spell makes all of your Time Factories/Towers produce 1 time quantum each. Changes: - Removed the passive skill of boosting the Time Dragons, replaced it with producing one time quanta every turn SERIES: Gem Series (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,16740.0.html)

Can this ability be used more than once per turn?

[Ajit]

Absolutely not.

[OldTrees]

If 2 of these are on the field can both use their abilities?

I really like this special quanta generator as well although I think it would be fine without the Dragon ability.

[Ajit]

Thanks OldTrees.

As of now, yes if two are on the field, they both work.  OP?

All the cards in my series have a passive ability and a special ability, so if I get rid of the dragon boosting, what might be a good replacement?

[OldTrees]

You're welcome. These are amazing!

Multiple Topaz's using their skills are not OP.
Each Topaz will generate N-3 per turn.
If N=5 then each Topaz is Generate  per turn which seems fair alongside a minor ability.

For the passive ability I think Generate is more appropriate. A passive Generate 1 on element quanta might be worth around 2 quanta.

Rename the text of how much the Time Towers produce. I understand it, but you have to change the sentence structure.

[Ajit]

OK cool thanks for the help OldTrees, definitely will consider a change on the ability.

@Anonymous
Any suggestions on how I should word it then? Its difficult to fit the information.

This is quite powerful, actually.

For 3 , you can easily add up, like, 10 quanta to your pool...

10x Time Tower
6x Topaz Gem
6x Precognition
6x Electrum Hourglass
2x Eternity
4x Pharaoh

Mark of Gravity


Diabolically fast. I think this would count as broken.

[Ajit]

I got you, but I mean Rustler can double your quanta every turn..

And this card is expensive, for a Topaz Stone 6 + 3 for the spell, if you had 10 Time Factories, the first turn you would net only 1 for all that work.

Regardless, if this is broken, do you perhaps have a solution?

Even with the above deck I doubt it would draw all ten pillars that fast. At 7-8 pillars it acts like rustler.
(Also that deck has the problem of running out of momentum when it is stop-gated by the gravity quanta)

i like the idea of a the repeat funciton, but can it be used on "target stack of pillars" or even "target permanent" i do realize it would mean in increase in cost for moonstone/ability in play, i just think that an ability titled "Repeat" shouldnt be limited to time factories
