I just figured it out! Power of the Spheres actually takes two astral gems -- even though the description says it takes one:



This explains why some of my communions lacked a certain oomph earlier in this game. Come to think of it, they lacked a certain ooomph in my previous game, too, where certain spells weren't going off, but I didn't pay it too much attention at the time.

I wish I had known about this earlier. It probably wouldn't have made that much of a difference in this game, although it certainly would have made things much more painful for a certain Lizard Man

It takes one pearl, but mages can burn more gems to temporarily boost their magic level, and sometimes casting AI does that even when it's not needed. Your pretender burned enough gems that he didn't have enough to cast Solar Brillance (which needs 2).

Doh!

I feel like I need to go back to college to learn how this game works sometimes. Thanks for the information.

I'll be on a trip from 27th April till 4th May (this Friday till next one). It is unlikely (though possible) that i'll be able to make turns during that time. Can we leave quickhost on but increase hosting interval for that week so i don't miss any turns?

I posted 31 earlier today, and should have 32 up in a day or so. Unfortunately, I've been running into general time issues so I haven't written the narratives for the other ones yet (they take awhile to write), although I have all the screen-shots and notes in place, so they will definitely be posted at some point.

In the future remind me to never write two AARs at the same time...

Hi ya rev2, as per your last post and a quick time check reveals, that this post is actually...."the future".

Mate, never volunteer to write two AARs simultaneously......or for that matter, at the same time.

Cheers........Always happy to help out when I'm needed.

All the world may rejoice! Presaging his imminent ascendance, Moonson has granted the whole world the blessings of death, that all may know the joys of submission to his jaws!
