Power of Astral Corruption
 

I wonder if it's worth casting... What's the chance of mages being attacked by Horrors like ?

I don't know the chance exactly, but on about 20 mages casting/forging in a turn, I got 3-5 attacked.

I had only 2 experience with that spell, as victim ^^

It's pretty hard to use since blood magic isn't too good without secondary paths, which will trigger horror attacks just like the non-blood spells.

Attack chance and ferocity (lesser horror versus doom horror, say) depends on how much non-blood magical resource was used, I think. Casting a global with quadruple normal cost for boosting would probably draw a doom horror, while making trinkets might be relatively safe.

Attacks occur after forging/cast, if memory serves, so that even if an item forger is killed the item will still be in the lab. Not bad if your forging mage is an immortal like a demilich.

Astral Corruption is great when you're leading in terms of magic, have a sufficient supply of forged items, and want to lock things down in their current condition. Almost any global cast will draw a Doom Horror and it stops people from casting or forging anything that they really don't need. Would Returning save you from an attack? I haven't tried that.

real nice against global spellcasting

Re: Power of Astral Corruption
 

Returning would save you unless the horror kills you in the initial attack, I believe. Don't recall doom horror stats off the top of my head, but I wouldn't bank on it...

At first I thought you meant Ritual of Returning, and it seems Igahalli did the same... I think Returning would do it.
