Spell of the Week -- Mander Blast!

The Spell of the Week this week is an attack spell within the Mander polymorph spell.


It's the Mander blast!

For zero pips and about the same amount of damage as a 50th level wand spell, the Mander Blast spell seems to be less about doing damage, and more about breaking debuffs or cuing up your pet's spritely talent ;). It has the appearance of a fire spell but is actually balance damage, which can be difficult to block. It's basically a fun little spell with no pip cost where you get to breathe a little fire on your opponent as a mander.

The readers of the Friendly Necromancer were awesome enough to really give this spell a try this week. Twenty-two submittals! Great work everyone.

Ryan adds, "Here you go! Sorry I couldn't make any cool jokes, I have menu chat. -Ryan LifeGarden PS: Even though I am life, (as my name suggests) I have to say that from having a death character (oh, the irony!) that is level 56, Death is a pretty good school. I especially like its steal spells. They often get me out of a pinch quickly. The Death School is (almost) as good as the Life school!"

No worries that you've got menu chat . . . although next time make sure you ask the mob you're hitting if they've seen any acorns! ;)

Swordroll adds, "This was a tricky one, I only came across one card, but couldn't resist the challenge :) It wasn't hard to notice that most people are saying something during their attack, but I was too concentrated, it appears. You might say that I was on fire with those Mander Blasts, there, which were quite distracting. The wizard that's polymorphed here is Jason Goldriver.

You know me, I love good contrast, and a nice background, so it's no surprise that I chose an icy cave to cast a Fire spell, and also blogged about it. Thanks for this enjoyable segment!"

You're welcome! Thanks for the great picture!

Heather had a question too, which was, "What's a good secondary school for ice?"

Hmm, well, you know . . . I like to shop around on my schools and not go pure secondary (get death to feint, life to satyr, grab colossal, etc.), but you can't go wrong with going life and wearing one of those new necklaces that let you cast out of your school for the same amount as casting a an ice spell. Those are awesome.

Dustin has two pictures to share, the first is a mander spell treasure card from his Red Bell Pepper Plant (similiar to Mander Blast but different)

Thanks everyone for those awesome entries!

A few of you have asked how to take screenshots without screen elements: click here.

Some other tips would be for you to try using the crop tool in Paint (or whatever other graphic software you're using). Some screenshots that get a side view can be accomplished with having two accounts: one to cast the spell, one to take the screenshot.

I'm loving the creativity you all are showing with your phrases! Thanks for all the participation!

Happy Dueling!
