i got two messages this turn: "... was mentally attacked by an enemy mage" Is it the mind hunt spell?

I have 3 neighbors with 2 of them (Kailasa and Caelum) I had an active NAP this turn, and beacause its a clear violation of it, it most probably came from my 3rd neighbor Pangaea. Its a conclusion i find a little hard to believe, because its a S4 spell (and there were 2 of it, so not just pretender), but i dont have many choices. Unless someone convinces me otherwise.

first of all, yes it's a mind hunt spell. second of all, it can be cast from anybody, even someone across the map from you. as you know, having scouts all over the place is common practice, so you can't really rule out anybody... also while not all nations have Astral, it's no impossible to bootstrap into it if you don't have it at all, and Astral is generally considered as the strongest magic path for spells(Death stronger for summons, mainly tarts), also remember that you can put Astral on pretender too, and it's usually very beneficial to do so.

On the other hand, on turn 23 it is extremely unlikely that pangaea could have two such mages even if it did have astral on its pretender. It would have had to have gotten a lucky event bringing it a shadow seer or some such.

Thanks. Altough I - of course - know that it can be cast by anybody. Since then I read it costs only 2 gems - and one mageturn -, which is not much if the mage doesnt get caught.

I still wonder who it was.

If you're not sure who it is, the best solution is to pretend it's who you want it to be

[SciencePro]

it wasn't me.

Wasn't me either. If you're looking for a nation with plenty of astral, then well... Also, a few of my eagle kings have been mind hunted too.
