The creation of crystalline constructs is a closely guarded secret of

those that practice Artifice. With this knowledge, you are able to

create golems from refined crystals to serve you.

Using the golem as a focus, you are able to perform spells that would

otherwise be impossible. Most spells performed in this way require a

certain crystal to be part of the golem (these are noted in the relevant

ability files). However, be warned. The larger your golem, the more its

presence shall interfere with your crystalline vibrations, with

potentially disastrous results. The pragmatic sorcerer shall endeavour

to balance both his golem's size with the number of vibrations he or she

has active at any one time.


So at what point is my golem too large? Help me understand "disastrous results". Just a bit confused as I haven't noticed anything odd but am still setting up everything and haven't dove into combat yet.

I have only scripted what I have up to at the moment. Wondering if there was an easier way to do this, or if this is genrally it?

I have dampen in a separate alias workup, generally the same as above, but shorter, again dampening individually.

1.  Serpents?!@?!#$ Can't keep them around. I can slow prep the legs but not sure how to secure the kill from their from a frozen standpoint (fire woes to come). Seems like 2x pummel and a stormhammer usually does it, but is there a better way? (That's right @Caitlin YOU WILL SUFFER THE WRATH)
   
2. Is there a way Magi can bypass parry? Seems like i have a really hard time when people start moving leg parries around (to prep both legs)
3. how mobile should I be? Should i be sitting in the room or moving out and in? Guess it depends on who I am facing
4. Fire. I get the idea behind it, and the general kill route, but it doesn't seem SVO keeps track of the burns very well. Is there a way to do this well? I always seem to stick dehydrate, conflag, but can't seal the deal after that (I destroy when I think I have enough stacks and the game laughs at me)

Purpose of this thread:

• To define what the magi class is or is supposed to be
• To suggest changes or additions to Elementalism and Crystalism 
• To help define what new skill might replace Enchantment
• All of the above, focusing on enhancing a Magi's purpose without overpowering or underpowering them

Rules:

1. Retardation is a staple of the class. It is not overpowered just because you can't fight in it. It's not going anywhere.
2. From HELP MAGI, "Perhaps more than just about any other class, a magus has the ability to attack multiple opponents at once."
3. Hinder and Damage class. They cannot lock and while they do break limbs, it is to hinder rather than prep.
4. If a solution/fix/addition makes things too overpowered or underpowered, explain scenarios in which that is the case
