How viable is it (both casual and competitive) compared to other magics?
If you use wood, what was its gimmick that made you want to use it over earth or glass?
On casual it’s pretty good. On competitive it’s nice on low elo (bronze-gold) but falls off hard on grandmaster+

Wood is pretty great combined with high power and status duration jewels, and compared to other magics it is pretty good. I wouldn’t use it over earth by any means though, but it does look cool af.
Wood magic is pretty nice. You know it’s not going to get buffed or nerfed regularly by the balance team and you know that it has some sort of synergy with fire. It is pretty nice. Plus fire (sometimes but not too often) gets changed.
Unless you’re of slavic ethnicity, lived in the middle ages, got captured by Europeans, turned into a slave (yes, this is the actual etymology of the word), got purchased by the concept of ‘meta’ (most efficient tactic available), and became a plasma/any heat magic-wood mage or a wood thermolock; It’s going to be overall mediocre due to its innately low range (attack speed) and less-than-average statistics (+0.2 size in exchange of -0.05 power and -0.2 attack speed).
The imbuement is decent though, so use it for that if anything.
Okay so is my idea of new status effect for wood gonna be scrapped?
Where can I find the idea?
This is probably it
Yah
screw wood magic
wood is peak
it’s honestly not bad either, overlooked
screw you!!!
wait a minute, meta is an acronym?

WoM wood made me hate the magic forever
in all actuality, its decent, too slow for Thermo imo and the magics it does have synergies with have too short of status durations for it to be broken, but i’d never admit that because I hate it
wdym WoM wood 
also it’s not too slow for thermo, wood/thermo is quite fast if you run speed and honestly very good.
also doesn’t it have a charred synergy (explosion magic)
being forced to run speed with Thermo and not being super versatile is never a plus, but I agree that it can be good
and also, you are correct, it has a lot of synergies that I didn’t even know it had before with most heat magics
but that dumb WoM crap it pulled… I’ve always run fire on my main. The first time I encountered a wood user, I figured “Surely, this [Wood Magic] will be subdued by my [Fire Magic] because [fire] burns [wood], right?” Yes it does, but it then proceeds to leave a tiny burnt wood block that is invincible despite fire’s high destruction, and stays there forever. To make matters worse, that specific one was running like 20% 15 blasts that simply flew over the burnt block and still hit me. Its scarred me ever since.
Never lost to a wood player, though.
probably level diff, destruction/clashes scales highly with level p sure
first time for everything (:<
just worse iron / stone unfrotnuealty
I really like this, it would help wood have an actual identity outside of ‘lighter earth’
