Default Re: Shattered Soul for tartarians. Do tell !

But Tuidjy, a Wish _isn't_ a wish, exactly. I can't wish for 9 Death levels, or immortality, or _real_ Armageddon (kills everyone). It's limited in power already, we're just talking about differentiating the power levels instead of fixing them to one uniform standard.

At the same time, I'm not completely convinced that variable-power Wishes are a good idea, either. I just don't think Wish being arbitrarily powerful is thematic or an argument against variable-power Wishes. (Maybe if the game were modded so that wishing for "Victory" or "Godhood" ended the game, you could argue that Wish was arbitrarily powerful. And it would also be no fun to cast--you might as well just quit and delete your saved game.)

All those Tartarian-rivals are utterly moddable. Also you could add cheaper versions of the national summons at higher research levels, as is done in many cases now except even more efficient versions to compete. e.g. MA Ulm could have a Construction-9 3E1F spell to summon Iron Golems for 1 earth gem...

what about dragons, though they would lack some of the slots they would make up for it. Who needs magic armor when your natural protection is better, who needs magic AOE weapons when you do it naturally.

For the actual cost about 70-90 gems would work, because of not only the actual power, their is also the fact that the dragon would be have at least 4 levels in one magic path
