Here’s an ideacrafting/discussion thread. Most people know hot magic + water/cold magic = steam imbue, but what are some other imbues that could make a unique interaction? Any magic imbued into another magic can be considered, don’t just think about whats possible in game right now!
Mixing water and ice should freeze the fstyle/weapon itself partially and cooling the water down dramatically, applying an ice-buffed DoT of some kind (Frostbite?)
Combining hot magics + flammable magic things should cause them to spit out low-damage debris that can set people ablaze.
Acid + hot magic thing = …Acid clouds? I’ve been wondering why we haven’t seen this one yet, honestly.
Water + Earth = Mud. Now you apply a stacking slow with your attacks. (MUD MAGIC FANS RISE UP)
Ignoring equinox because it would be the obvious one, imbuing a poison weapon with something like fire should make it explosion, since there is an explosion effect when they clash
Light phases through glass untouched.
Light makes a rainbow when it goes through crystal.
Going exclusively by what’s in the game, imbuing Fire into the Poison Tooth Dagger should create Explosion. Yes, it doesn’t secrete poison like how the Sunken Sword makes water, but stick with me here. (also it really bugs me how it’s called the Poison Tooth Dagger, even though a toxin injected into the bloodstream would be venom, unless you inhaled the poison for some reason).
Imbuing Magic into Magic doesn’t seem like it’d do much other than automatically create their synergies, with the occasional Fire + Poison = Explosion and Fire + Water = Steam-riddled exceptions. The most I have for this is that I don’t think that Light and Shadow Magic should create complete Equinox Magic; maybe a weirder version of it that could have some Balance Magic-like properties? If Balance Magic by itself doesn’t get destroyed when Lost/Ancient Magics start releasing, I will eat a brick.
As for Arcanium Weapons, I wonder if imbuing, say, Snow Magic onto an Ice Greatsword would create instant Freezes.
I was thinking that it could resemble Equinox but Equinox would be at a completely different level of balance. In other words, using a light/shadow imbue will result in powerful attacks with a drawback, but the attacks won’t be as powerful as a theoretical Equinox imbue.
iron leg and water could create rust and inflict poisoned maybe
That’d be Infection from AA
Oh boy, do you know about the disease mechanic that was planned for AA. Not sure if it was an RNG based upgrade for infection though. I think one of them made you explode if you used magic.
That stuff was some BULLCRAP.
Ah, read that card so many times.
I actually intend to use Mecalepsyia in smth I’m preparing to write as a sort of assassination tool for the Order of Aesir.
Maybe even the Heart Virus, too.
Mecalepsyia was such an awful idea that it reminds me of why you never see Bambi’s mom in any of Disney’s promotional material.

acid and water makes acid imbuement
With a weaker dot (dilution)
Water can cause acids to heat up which makes it dissolve stuff faster
Rainbow magic would be memed so hard.
