Will Life magic only be able to use helpful spells?

By this, I mean things like Enchantment, or the summoning ones. Because it would be sort of similar to Death, which can only use forbidden or cursed skill types, but opposite.

healing hurts like a bitch

I think it would be fine to use things like blast or explosion, because it would be good to be able to reliably use healing.
After all, you are sacrificing one of your methods of attack just to be supportive, you should be able to be very good at that support role.

Sorry but who is that?

the “forbidden/cursed spells only” part for death magic is likely just outdated info from the old magic list. but as of rn the trello card for magic says that ancient magics won’t be able to use base spells… for some reason? i get that they’re more advanced but imo it’s kind of a redundant restriction

plus vetex confirmed that life magic will still be able to deal damage (albeit low) so it likely wouldn’t be restricted to specific spells only

angel from arcane adventure webcomic who possesses life magic

she can uses it to torture people by heightening their sensitivity to pain and/or just beat them half-dead and heal them back and repeat without fearing about them dying

healing is scary

From the Arcane Adventures web comic, so the images i’m sending are blurred

First image here for the character herself

And then here comes the Offensive healing

and i got the images of that happening :D)

webtoon’s not canon so don’t take anything here as the truth

idrc abt that not being cannon

and if healing magic can’t harm than it would end up being one of the worst magics in the whole game if not the actual worst

Yeah and so does getting shot the difference is one takes far less time to learn

mmmrhgm buuuuuuurrrpppp

hitting enemies with life magic applying a decaying damage multiplier would be a neat mechanic, the amount of mult would depend on the damage affinity of the spell if anything

it’d be clunkier to use solo but usable assuming the user knows when to use what, while still being optimal to use in coop

It will prob have -1x damage, so it heals on all hits, exactly how heal gels work.

Those who say about damaging heals, guys, we already have it, its called custom magic with Overvitalized :sob:
Lifestream Magic (its not a future magic, its like a dev magic afaik)

Beats me

i get what they’re going for but this sounds really fucking stupid

“Lethal dosages of healing that breaks down their body”

yeah death will inflict rejuvenating dosages of death that rebuilds your body

Too much of anything will kill you

>“Quickly Breaks Down Their Body”

>Look Inside

>SPEED - 0.2x

i somehow feel like gitting someone with pure life magic is the exception here

Life magic is still magic so its energy, energy is by nature destructive, so its genuenly like suffocate someone with a kiss. Or like plant burning from the sun which it uses for survival. Or like packing too much into a battery so it just bursts.
