Going down in style

Casting Eyes of God is very dangerous in a MP game.

Astral spell, I see. That's why I never came across it. Guess I'll try Arco then.

Or Pythium. Or Ermor. Or any nation, really - all you need is a pretender with at least 4 Astral, and either access to some Astral sites (for the pearls) or the judicious use of some alchemy.

thank you for the great responses!! Now I have to hope my opponents don't read this thread!

I will take the advice to heart; it will probably take a few turns to implement, but I will post the results here when it happens.
Thanks again!

Say, under Astral Corruption -- now that Dispel is a ritual,is the price of failure the risk of being eaten by a horror?

(And if the horror scales with the magnitude of the ritual... perhaps a Doom Horror?)

Yup, looks that way. Hope you have a really beefy mage.

Not really a concern. If he can cast Dispel, he can cast Returning.

To the OP: Astral Corruption isn't really damaging to Arco, as most Arco's mage can easily evade Horrors when casting rituals etc. It will only cost him half a dozen pearls a turn or so. And maybe a few mages in the turn the AC is cast, before he realizes what's up. I even doubt Arco will try to dispel your GE. I'm sorry for you, but I have no good idea to propose as an alternative, bar harassing him with HfH and such.
