Doesn't reflect Catapult or poison. It does work on Unstable Gas though, and a couple of things you'd never use it for.

i knew about unstable gas, but what of the couple of things? the bolts or other things not cited previously?

edit: so, catapult's effect does not count as a spell, i take it then...

[Drake_XIV]

I'd assume things like Holy Light which are almost never used.

Only harmful things except poison and catapult get around anyway. Surprisingly, UG gets reflected.

So your miracle wouldn't get reflected, and neither would your heal or flash.

[Guizonde]

why surprisingly? i had read in this thread a couple dozen pages earlier that UG counts as a permanent-based spell (ok, that sounds really weird), i was just wondering if catapult counted like that too.

another question: i stole a druidic staff, and it dealt the final blow (i was at full health before it hit) on an AI4. i earned 82 electrum instead of the standard 80 in EM. i couldn't take a screenshot, but is this a bug?

did you have a mx hp superior to 100 hp? did you use any SoD or stone skin?

nothing of the sort, just a full field of critters, 2 empathic bonds, a hope shield with 15 defense, and 3 antimattered dragons on the other side of the field. i've got no shards, and i don't have a need for a stone skin. should've said i had 100hp, would've cleared up those possibilities. i'm thinking bug

When a staff (or any creature with the regenerate active, really) deals the finishing blow, the game ends after it heals you, but before the game makes sure your current hp is no higher then your max hp. In 1.29, this would result in you receiving only 41 electrum, as you get a bonus for having more then 100 hp, but do not receive the elemental mastery since your current hp is not equal to your max hp. Version 1.30 fixes that simply by making you get the EM bonus if your current hp is more then your max hp (or equal to it, of course), but does not change the fact that your health is at 105/100 (or similar). So this could still be considered a bug, but the difference is very small (+2 electrum, whereas the old version would put you at -39) and fixing it would require a lot more work, so it isn't likely to be fixed anytime soon.


tl;dr: Interaction between various game mechanics left you at 105 health out of a maximum of 100 health, so you received a bonus for having more than 100 health.

What effect does it have when I put purify on a creature?
I somethimes see AI do that, but I don't get what effect it has.

The new Purify, buffed in 1.30, can now target creature as well.
What does it do? Exactly the same as what it does to you. Removing all poison counter from target creature (plus aflatoxin counter too at that) and add 2 purify counter that heals the creature every turn.
This makes it a viable strategy combined with LS or Overdrive, for example, as the damage done will be healed.

The creatures gets healed each turn (or time it attacks, not sure about this, I'd like someone to check this). It allows a weakened creature to recover, and can recover hp lost by acceleration or rage pot.

30% iirc.
