Proposal: Defense Against the Dark Arts

Passes 6-0—Clucky

Adminned at 16 Oct 2023 16:36:01 UTC

Add the following subrules to “Spells” (provided that rule exists) where the first line of each blockquote is the name of the subrule and the rest is the contents

Misdirection

Inputs: None
Effect: If this Wizard is in a targeted position for the Input of any Spell this Duel, the targeted position is changed to a randomly-selected position that is not this Wizard’s position. This also applies to a targeted position changed by another Wizard’s Misdirection spell.

Siphon

Inputs: None
Effect: If any Wizards other than this Wizard receives any Stars from one or more Spells, other than Siphon, randomly select one of those Wizards to lose 1 Star, then this Wizard gains 1 Star. This Wizard can also receive Stars from other Spells and still trigger this Effect.

Doom Cloud

Inputs: None
Effect: If this Wizard has less than 1 Star at the start of the Duel, this Spell has no Effect. Otherwise, this Wizard loses 1 Star, and every other Wizard loses 2 Stars.

How does Siphon work if multiple wizards cast Siphon? We might need to introduce some sort of casting order for that to work.

Agreed, I would support a “resolve in random order” text added to the Duel resolution steps, or something similar

I don’t want to attach it to this Proposal, in case there’s disagreement on whether to resolve in random order or have a more deterministic order.

maybe add an “other than Siphon” clause for now?

certainly a lot of ways we can move forward—cast in wizard ring order, add initiative to spells, add initiative to wizards, make it purely random… agreed that this proposal probably isn’t the right time to do it

Good idea, I just edited it to state “other than Siphon”
