Tl:dr Promethean flame is a synergy fire.
So i’ve been seeing people who believe that promethean flame isn’t going to be good purely because of the status effects. Im going to use this one post to show why it’s not that it won’t be bad. It’s just that it’s only if you have fire.
Alright so im going to use sword of morocks fire mechanics to explain it’s numerous effects.
Okay so the sword of morocks flame gave out these effects
Acid
Magma
Ash
Plasma
Fire
And promethean fire.
Now tell me. What do all of these have in common?
That’s right. They all synergize well with fire. So tell me. What do you think will happen once you use a promethean fire blast and then a fire blast? That’s right! MASSIVE DAMAGE. So tell me. What do you think you’re gonna get when you combine promethean fire with magma, ash, plasma, or perhaps even sand? That’s right. Absolute hp deleter.
Nah it’s okay, the description did say that it’ll inflict certain effects depending on the spell type. It’s still a powerful magic regardless since it can take on the properties of any type of magic. People that say it won’t be good are most likely just too worried about synergies, which sucks because you don’t even need synergies for a magic setup to be good, some people just like judging a magic on its synergies and that really isn’t what solely makes a magic good
Inferno - Fire focused on burning power (colored blue)
Dark Flame - Fire focused on spreading (colored purple and black)
Aethereal Flame - Fire focused on brightness (colored white and yellow)
Scorch - Fire focused on explosive power (colored lime green)
Promethean Flame - Fire that can take the properties of any magic, and all other grand fire curses (colored white)
promethean flame is basically a mixture of all the other grand flame curses (and other effects?), albeit not as directly powerful in any respective aspect
in other words promethean flame is incredibly powerful
And for it’s spread? Bloodflows fire gernade but better coded. It hits a wall and stays for a while and deals it’s bullshit DoT whenever someone get’s close
Inferno curse DoT lasted 30 seconds in AA, but that might have only been because it was a curse, idk. Now that I think about it, Darkflame spreading might probably just cause the AoE of a burning area to be bigger on average compared the other fire magics
I won’t lie though, Aether Lightning was pretty powerful alone in AA, plus the description of Electron magic alone makes it sound really op. Storm might end up being really powerful later on as well
“ Storm Magic - Control of tornado winds and lightning, can create Normal skills.”
it can basically be counted as one, its a mutation of lightning too to my knowledge
Storm Magic - Control of tornado winds and lightning, can create Normal skills.”
