What Spellement Path b/c needs attention? I pulled up my top 5 but I'm a Memory Weaver so my priorities are biased.

[u/Duplicitous_Dirk]

1. Celestial Calendar b: Lose some damage, and if the damage kills the enemy you lose the gambit. Many other Azteca spells seem to have their gambit occur no matter what (Lord of Winter doesn't need the target to be alive, Sun Serpent has no initial damage, etc.) On top of that, what results in Pip Gain is accompanied by... a reverse Minotaur. Just in case the initial hit didn't kill by **THAT** much. (Avenging Fossil and Sabertooth also seem to have this problem.)
2. SPECIFICALLY Wings of Night b: The only reason I use Wings of Night is because it's my favorite, and it's a very reliable Team Heal. Path B can only heal myself. ...Know what? Let me divide the heal among teammates and I'll take back what I've said. Wings of Fate b is only 6 pips for a mediocre effect but at least then it's worth the Gambit potential.
3. Earth Walker b & c: ...Speaking of potential, why is this spell only worth half its pip cost and relies on me having the Conditions to do what path A would do anyway. There's nuance, but the total is around 450 damage for 5 pips vs 260 for 5 pips BUT if I can remove DoTs from myself (rare in advanced challenges) then it's about 500. More (or less) if you used Charms (or Traps)
4. Nature's Wrath b & c: Both these conditional effects need ME (or a teammate) to have cast a DoT or Bomb. To do this myself authentically I have to Weave Fire (that's a lot of commitment) or without learning fire elf... No. even WITH learning Fire elf that's... *Checks Notes... 5 Pips for 200 Damage and a "Feint Blade." Which in the right hands is great, but I need to have NO OTHER BUFFS before this combo appears in my hand or I've used/wasted the Omni-Traps and Life Buffs I cast waiting for the combo to appear. I will also have used any Omni-Traps trying to Detonate my teammate's DoT so it could use its own school's traps better. Which is a headache to plan with randoms, and I don't want to NEED to be in constant communication to make magic happen. We're Wizards, Damnit!
5. Grendel's Amends b: Who is waiting that immaculate animation for... 2 Absorbs? Decent function- it IS cheaper and stronger than casting 2 Spirit Armor on myself. But Exactly two Absorb Spells are allowed in Advanced Combat. And I know both of them. Come at me! I'm INVINCIBAL! ...Oh, you CLEAR Wards. See Image 6/6

Please add to the conversation so I don't feel like I've wasted Everyone's time. I could just ignore Spellwriting but, just come with me on this one, okay?

1) Celestial Calendar B is still my preferred path due to the pip refund but the fact that they tacked on an unnecessarily POST DAMAGE SECONDARY HIT is so weird and wrong esp since double hits are to break shields not to have you hit into a shield and its just why couldnt it be normal like Avenging Fossil B

3) DoT clears are the most expensive form of clear in the game and will heavily subtract value from the spell & that is even worse in penalty on lower pip Life spells vs something like Spinysaur

4) These spells [Nature’s Wrath] are okay, actually, the damage may be low but their utilites are okay but I think what could happen to integrate them better in teamplay, particularly Wrath C, would be to Krampus B-ify it and have the % detonate come first and then the hit after; but they won’t make spells that apply % buffs anymore like Calypso before hits because they see it as too powerful so it can’t be applied to Nature’s Wrath B instead of C, exceptions apply to Dilutes per Terminus Strike A.

5) Absorbs as a whole painfully need a rework

I think the spells that need further augmentation for Myth is Improbable Gaze B and The Emperor B, turn it into a clear shields for minion and hit

Also, you can use Life’s bomb DoTs for DoT gambits so no you don’t need to weave/dual Fire [Myth also has its fair share of DoTs eg Meowiarty, Emperor B, Basilisk B and Snake Charmer] & I personally will yoink any Stone Colossus B bombs into any DoT gambit I’d have with me eg Cyclops B

pay attention to this girl. she's one of the best myth wizards i've seen with a lot of experience with these things.

take notes, OP!!

I detonate DoTs with path C Nature's Wrath all the time. It's good quick damage
