One of the spells that stood out to me was called Inferno Kraken. This is a treasure card that you see from time to time and I had always dismissed it as simply turning a Storm spell into a Fire spell...but I should have known better!
I have often used the spell Mutate Thunderbird to turn my Phoenix into a Thunderbird, and I gotta say, it looks great and leaves a little gift that you don't get from a Phoenix ... three +30 traps! Just like a Fuel but for any school. I mean this spell really is quite spectacular!
I should have realised that the Inferno Kraken was not like a normal Kraken!
Well, this little baby is considerably more useful. For 4 pips, the Inferno Kraken will do 695 damage! In fact, it will actually do 245 + 400 over 3 rounds. Pretty good shield stripping and payback for the 4 pip investment!
Then I realised the catch.
I cannot apply it to anything but the actual spell! Oh no! That meant a huge Training Point investment, because I needed to train in all the Storm spells leading up to it.
In the end, and disappointed, I realised I wouldn't realise the dream of owning this spell. I simply couldn't go through with it.
Still, it was an interesting exercise and I know I'll continue go through that page about once a month, just in case a great new spell appears - one that I can hopefully use!
See you 'round the Spiral!
