Wound Deferral & Emuin's Candlelight 07/30/2020 02:27 PM CDT
In keeping with my theme of asking technical questions about the new Anabasis spells, I'd like to turn my attention to Emuin's Candlelight...

The Evasion buff is relatively straightforward, methinks. My questions all concern the "stagging incoming damage over time" bit.

- What benefits, if any, are there from higher potency casts?

- Does any sort of wound reduction occur? Or is it always 50 damage in; 50 damage out?

- Is there a cap on how much damage EMC will hold? If so, is it per area or global?

- Based on what I believe are EBOTS-empowered SV messages it appears that EMC is also storing the vitality damage associated with the wounds it's holding. The "alyuryaen perishing" messages that coincide with EMC releases are the SV shield eating the associated vit damage you took when you initially received the wound(s)?

- Any possibility of getting a way to gauge just how much damage EMC has stored? Something in perceive/concentrate/power, perhaps? Another suggestion I've seen and liked is changing the hue/saturation of the glow. I'm looking for a way to mitigate surprises when the spell drops or is intentionally released. Even something vague would be appreciated.

Damage is staggered over a longer time.

No and no.

Correct.

The pulse messages should provide some indication. Parches < singes < scorches < sears < chars < burns < immolates.

Thank you, Grejuva!

I really appreciate your willingness to answer technical question on the new Anabasis spells. I'm impressed with all of the thought that went into this (quite different) spellbook.

Makes me excited to hear more about Book Burning when the team is ready to share.
