Game Mechanics New Mage Ability: Cryo Blast!

That's the name I just came up with on the spot, but I'll probably think of a better name as I write this.

This would either be a Arcanist or Riftwalker ability (I'm leaning more towards Riftwalker) but basically, this would be an ability that causes extra blast damage to be dealt if Meteor and Ice Snake collide with eachother, creating about 4 ice shrapnel shards.

IF this were a riftwalker ability, i'd also make it so that it would add maybe 2-3 winded, since the current fastest way to raise winded is to simply spam main attack, and that's something I don't like.

Maybe you could get rid of the ice shrapnel idea and just make this an ability that adds winded fast with your spells if you time them right to hit eachother, since it's kinda weird that Lightbender adds winded to enemies faster than the archetype that it was designed for.

Thanks for reading!

 

this is actually very interesting, i wonder how it would play out in-game

 

Hang on bro's actually cooking here.

 

time archetype now relies on timing

 

I like the idea of a timing combo. It would also make Riftwalker better.

 

bump because cool

 

Abilities that trigger when spells interact with each other is a cool idea. I think that it should be explored more.

 

or maybe even some spell-melee interaction hybrids going on as well
