Would smoke magic/ability be redundant if you already have ash?

can be a combinatiom between shadow and another base element ( 1st column ) or branched from shadow itself

edit: okay if smoke isnt reductdant then what exactly is the main different between it and ash ?

im not talking about origin, im talking about their function cause they seem almost identical for me

the only different i can think of is that smoke is more “gas” than ash

maybe ash is better for stunning through petrify abd sht while smoke is better at crowd-control/camouflage ?

water winning

anyways about having smoke and ash

that seems like it just makes the ash stronger so I don’t see why you wouldn’t

In my opinion it basically is, but if you manage to make them functionally/visually different from each other and have different traits and interactions, I can see them being unique enough from each other to not be repetitive

4

eh on second thought smoke and ash are really similar :skull:

5

Either Shadow branch or Shadow + idc : Void

In lore it wouldn’t be redundant at all, but ingame it depends.

Smoke could have a blind gimmick where being in its clouds gives stacks of blindness like Light, but like Mud Magic it’s too advanced for Base Magic but too boring to be a Lost Magic

Honestly I think that smoke would work better as an ash variant.

but if you wanted to add it as its own separate thing, then maybe have it blind people more effectively than ash does? Y’know, because of smokescreens and all of that

8

only real thing smoke has over ash is that it’s a lot less obtrusive since smoke is smokey while ash is solid and visible

uh

no its better wood really

13

14

if Vet is already considering scrapping Mud cause it’s too niche no shot sumn like Coal gets added even tho it’d be sick

I was thinking more along the lines of what space is mainly but who knows

18

space is nothing. so you want nothing magic?

magic that creates nothing

attacks that create empty voids that violently suck things inwards to them to fill up the emptiness.

as they travel, they pull things in, and shrink over time as they absorb matter, so it’s more balanced.
