Question on "Solar Brilliance" ...

[pole_shift]

Howdy. I am in an MP game right as Atlantis vs. Ermor. I am not happy about the match-up. My long term strategy is to go for Solar Brilliance as my Pretender is an Astral(8) Sacred Statue. The plan is to Teleport in, cast Solar Brilliance, and then ...

Not sure. Never used SB before. Does it kill all Undead immediately? slowly? Do they get MR save? Can I cast it and then cast Returning to escape? or will it cancel the spell effects then? Any feedback will be appreciated.

Long Live Atlantis!

It works slowly, with MR and is interrupted if you leave. But it can work miracles.

Beware: all troops on the battle field might get blind. Most useful if you meet an army of several hundred undead. Soulless and skeletons vaporize rather quickly. Your caster will surely end up on the hall of fame.

Telestic animates can be rather useful vs ermor. Cheap immobile lvl 3 priests. Coral Queens with boots of quickness are also very useful.

Thanks Kristoffer. I hope to surprise my opponent with it.

Just make sure your foe doesn't hang out in this forum ...

Good point Arryn but I am pretty sure he doesn't (fingers crossed).

Another question: After casting the spell (I am running a test SP game) it seems my Pretender is losing fatigue every combat turn just for having cast the SB spell? Is this true or am I misinterpreting?

shameless bump
