On top of that you are now out of one charge on your Rite of Seeking, and Mystics don't like being out of charges on their spells because that's what they use for most of their skill tests, and are essentially sitting ducks without their them. Compare this to Unexpected Courage that would additionally cost you 0 card / 0 resource / 0 action to provide you with a boost, only missing out a sole icon that may not even be relevant to the test you are trying to pass - not a great deal. If you use a charge from Rite of Seeking, you are using one third of the charges of a spell that costed 1 card / 4 resources / 1 action to play, or in other word you are paying an additional cost of 0.3 card / 1.3 resources / 0.3 action to get an additional boost.

Worse, Alchemical Transmutation could just be sitting here, clogging you arcane slots (and if you are running Sign Magick for the sole reason of using Torrent of Power, you now have 1 additional card to find to get your combo going, and the price of this card is added to the price of the combo)! Cards that are bad alone are rarely good when put together, and when the combined use is not particularly strong it is just better to skip these cards.īesides, the fact that you have to spend charges from an asset also means that you are essentially paying to power up Torrent of Power. And if you don't draw them at the same time, they are actually useless. In other words, you will have drafted into your deck Torrent of Power (maybe instead of Unexpected Courage) and Alchemical Transmutation (instead of any card that is actually good) just to get a single boost on a single test. Say that you add Alchemical Transmutation to your deck in hope to spend your charges on Torrent of Power: even if you happen to draw both at the same time, it is unlikely that you will need to spend all the charges just for a particular skill test, and will be left on the board with a useless Alchemical Transmutation. Now, combining these spells with Torrent of Power sure is a combo, but not a particularly impressive one.

Fringe spells were that way because they range from bad to barely average.

If you spend three charges, you get a boost which would probably pass any test, but now we are looking at a really expensive one-shot test pass tool.Ĭontrary to the above review, I believe that this card does not justifies the inclusion of fringe spells.

If you spend two charges, you get which starts to look like a huge boost, but at this point the icons start to be less relevant and more overkill.

If you spend one charge, you get a icons boost, making it slightly better than an Unexpected Courage or a Guts in terms of raw icons, but the additional may not be relevant (so it would not be better than Unexpected Courage in this case) and you don't get to draw (so not overall better than Guts).

If you don't spend any charge, you only get a icon, making it strictly inferior to Unexpected Courage.

Let's review a bit what Torrent of Power of power does:
