Can you imagine your bushwhacker casting a spell (maybe a fire or quake spell, like in zelda games... after all bw2 is born from them) that combines mana and power? It would be AWESOME! Also if you have to equip a trinket or reach a certain level.

To cast this spell we'll need at least 8 mana and 6 power. The power will be divided by 6 (number of bushes). This result will be rounded down then doubled and used as multiplier (this will be applied to all 6 bushes) and the "unused" power will be still available. In that way you can use your power dividing it equally on all 6 bushes (having different prizes but less quantity). The power is doubled as well as the mana consumption.

Let's make an example:
- You have 39 power and 10 mana;
- Your power is divided by 6 and rounded down -> 6;
- The rest of the power is unused (39-6*6 = 3 unused power);
- Now the power is doubled (12) and used as multiplier for all bushes;
- At the end of the attack (before picking up what bushes have dropped) you'll have 3 power and 2 mana.

What do you think?

Hi Luca,

The game isn't balanced for this, so it's not likely something we'll be integrating, sorry. 8( Thanks for the creative idea, though!

Luca there is a problem with that calculation.

A multiplier of 1 does not work. so you would need at least 12 power.
The current mana wack cost 4 that does cover all the bushes but it bears no load. Now you have doubled it personally I would have increased it more. Now to 6 fold it is a bit much. 15 is a fairer amount.

power to mana
12 (x2) - 15
18 (x3) - 15
24 (x4) - 15
30 (x5) - 15

@Noemi I know you will not integrating this but I like to talk about things like this.
