Harden | Temper

[Treldon]

NAME: Harden ELEMENT: Other COST: 5 TYPE: Spell TEXT: Target shield gains +1 damage reduction	NAME: Temper ELEMENT: Other COST: 8 TYPE: Spell TEXT: Target shield gains +2 damage reduction

ART: source IDEA: Treldon NOTES: When applied to shields with additional effect (e.g Fire Buckler), DR is applied first then the effect (like Ice Shield) SERIES: Waking up ideas

[Naesala]

*Damage

I assume the additional 2 DR is applied before any other shield effects are applied? (Looking at Dissipation field). I think these are fairly decent cards, the upped is much more useful though.

[Treldon]

Yes, a shield that did not reduce damage before would function much like Ice shield after Temper is used, so it would negate the damage then apply the original effect

[Treldon]

Redone a bit, now solely DR for shields. Also spelling fixed (no idea how I missed that)

[serprex]

Nae is correct, the upped should cost much more than the unupped. Compare Shield to Tower Shield

[Treldon]

Nae's comment is a bit outdated as the card has been redone. I accept the need for a bigger cost difference, but should upped cost more, unupped cost less, or both? 4|7 or 4|8 perhaps?

[AD TienzuStorm]

This would be fun with Earth

I think the unupped could cost a little less, since honestly, the most amount of elements in decks using this will likely be two (since trios are uncommon and rainbows typically don't use shields that really need DR and have more important cards to use quanta).

And then yeah, upped could use maybe a cost up.

Upped cost raised, art added
