Do Soul Drain and Vortex Stack?
 

I'm curious if anyone has tried to see if these two spells stack with one another, after all if a commander can cast Soul Drain he's also capable of casting Soul Vortex and it might not hurt if it was able to give him double the regen/reinvig

I would think that it would actually stack since they would be separate sources that both had the same effect on the casting commander. But I'm not sure.

Anyone know?

Wow, almost 100 views and apparently no one knows? really?

eh I'm about to try it in a coming turn so maybe I'll find out then. Maybe not since its highly unlikely that my commander will even be taking damage in the first place it would be hard to say. But at least I'd likely be able to tell that the Soul Vortex is doing damage to any troops attacking him at least.

It should stack fine.

It should stack just like any other damage dealing effects stack. And the´re not even the same exact effect.

So basically it should be like say...fire shield + incinerate or astal shield + paralyze etc...

Yeah they are the same effect. They both suck life and fatigue out of the enemy (or anyone else for that matter) and give it to the caster. Its just that Soul Drain does it on a much larger scale where Soul Vortex is only the area around the caster.

There is the possibility that at the point where the caster is healed and reinvigorated that the Health and fatigue gained from the Soul Drain would override any gained from the Soul Vortex rendering the Vortex pointless. But if each affect was applied separately then it should work for sure.

They do stack.

I think in code they are only the same effect if they were exactly alike (except for paths, school, etc).
You can use the same effect with a different aoe if it's a aoe effect from the start, but for spells that affect the caster the aoe is fixed for each effect.

Indeed, different 'exact effect'.
