Echoing Spell

[Scott]

(This is intended for the top slot of the Meta tree)

Name: Echoing Spell
Casting time: Free Action (Only as part of casting another spell)
Range: Self
Duration: Concentration
MP cost: 8

This can only be cast on Instantaneous duration spells. Each round on your turn, as long as you maintain concentration, the target spell "goes off" again. You can pick new targets, etc as if you had recast the spell, but there are no further MP costs.

I think we've already got a 'top' of the meta tree. 10 spells are already done.

Plus, I think this one may be OP.

Casting time: Free Action (Only as part of casting another spell)
Range: Self
Duration: Concentration
MP cost: 8

This can only be cast on Instantaneous duration spells. Each round on your turn, as long as you maintain concentration, you may attempt an Essencex3 roll to make the target spell "go off" again. You can pick new targets, etc as if you had recast the spell, but there are no further MP costs. If you fail Essencex3, you take 1 stun damage, but may continue trying next turn. If you fumble Essencex3, you are reduced to 0 mp and fall unconscious.

This is for the Meta 2 tree. Or whatever it ends up being called.


Name: Echoing Spell
Casting time: Free Action (Only as part of casting another spell)
Range: Self
Duration: Concentration, up to 6 rounds
MP cost: 8

This can only be cast on Instantaneous duration spells. Each round on your turn, as long as you maintain concentration, you may attempt to make the target spell "go off" again. You can pick new targets, etc as if you had recast the spell, but there are no further MP costs. Starting at the 3rd round you have to make an essencex3 roll to make the spell go off again. This roll gets harder by 1 each further round (ESSx2, ESSx1, ESSX.5, the end) If you fail any of these Essence rolls, the echoing spell immediately ends.

Not happening but thanks for the effort.

[Scott]

More input would be helpful. Even if it's just what part to avoid wasting time on in the future.

[logan9a]

Continuing on working on this OP spell is a waste of time.

Can you point to what you find OP about it? Is there a pairing with a particular spell that you are concerned about? My point of view is that "spell goes off again" is only OP if the target spell is OP in the first place.
