Rune of the Arch Mage

It’s a little too random to do the math but in general something worth saying is that when spells that target enemies have no enemies they start hitting your own minions.

It’s Very easy for someone to end overdoing It.
I would not cast that without enemy minions to hit.

Thank God. Twenty characters

Doubtful. Box cannot cast itself.

Doesn’t say anything about casting 0 mana spells being prevented either. Fair chance of orbs and random hot streaks and fire sales.

No it cant there where some devs in the chat reveal.
Confirmed it doesnt cast itself.

Ok, yeah lots of questions. Do discounted spells count as discounts?

Say it casts 0 cost spell that discounts your next spell by 2 then it plays ignite…does it still have 20 mana to go or 18?

Thankfully the 0 mana spells wouldn’t take away from it at all. It’s capped on mana, not spell count.

If I had to guess, I’d say it rolls random spells that fall within the remaining amount of mana (stops at 0 mana) so if it hit a 0 mana Ignite it would just roll that much mana again to see what gets cast.

I’d really like to know how it calculates this out. What if there is 9 mana left and there is no 9 mana spell?

How does it get to exactly 20???

Well I was so excited I spilled my Earl Grey all over the floor. Gonna’ go deal with
that now.

Someone needs to play a millhouse with time out against this and sees what happens or if the spaghetti code crashes or if it has a hidden limit or doesn’t apply millhouse discounts anyways.

That’s how I’d do it to make it spend all 20 mana every time.

Well there’s the big spell I guess… Pretty hard for this to not be amazing each time it’s cast.

If i understand a little of programming the only viable way to do It is by Just generating results again and again until It fits.

So in theory there should exactly 0 issues on the result always reaching exactly 20.
That also means you actually want 0 mana spells because the really cost nothing.

Yeah, but does its casting stuff that discount actually discount or does it give YOU the discount?

So 0 mana Hot Streak then Ignite…is there still 20 mana left, or 18? If 18, do you get the benefit of Hot Streak?

Because it could very well cast Hot Streak once or twice, giving you a discount to pop off another spell after.

It could give you mana biscuits as well.

It gives you the discount.

Those discounts are for when you cast.

Those spells are casted by the card.
Kinda of solarian prime scenario.

Not gonna lie. I kinda had the same reaction i had with yoggbox.
people think that it’s too different but It isn’t.

If targetting enemies really fits their bias towards RNG(i doubt) then i happy too.

Lets ignore the biggest part that it only casts Mage spells but sure.
I want to play Mage not losse the game to some random bs spells not even in my class.

Good riddance Puzzle Box hope you stay dead and buried.
