Frozen Heart
 

Does this spell instantly kill someone? Its rather vague.

Re: Frozen Heart
 

It does the listed damage value.

Re: Frozen Heart
 

so, the proper answer is, depends

It does 10 Armor negating damage, modified by an usual d6 rolls. So, against a standard 10 HP unit, it will kill it roughly 50% of the time. Of course, its a 10+ spell, so water mages with more than water two do extra damage, though I'm uncertain off the top of my head how much extra damage. Its a great spell for spamming against thugs and SCs. Less so on chaff infantry, but there isn't a whole lot of other options for a Water-1 mage.

really, it's probably the most generally useful path lvl 1 combat spell.

Re: Frozen Heart
 

Speaking of "+"s in spell descriptions, is there some area that is explicit about what they are for different spells? Frequently it's simply plus one, but I know of several areas that it's not.

Re: Frozen Heart
 

the modding guide has the answer for you.

Re: Frozen Heart
 

I would think DrP's spell spreadsheet would have the answer. The modding guide tells you how to mod additional bonus from higher paths, but the spreadsheet shows which spells use it and how strong it is.

Ah yes that was exactly it. Thank you very much. I've always wondered how bladewind scales with level... and it's +3 blades per extra level. Frozen heart is +2 damage per extra level.
