Rules Update: Arch Caster

Also in response to earlier posts the following updates will be made to the list.

Double Power cannot be used on Valence abilities (Namely Valence Armor)
Double Power does not affect Soaks or Thresholds.

Sam's answers are spot on. The list is as polished as it could be without releasing to the public and listening to thier questions, and we felt that it was important to get this higher list through, even this close to the event.

I would like to address the item issue for this event, however we are still working on the particulars to make it as fair as possible for the player, without allowing the whole reason these changes were made to be cheapened. So unless otherwise posted here well use his temporary fix. If we do decide to do the items this event we will make a separate post letting you know the precise procedure and how to go about it.

Post about Items are coming now in a separate thread. Look for it.

One more ritual hot fix is being put in, because it relates in part to the new arch caster list.

Ritual of Mythrien's Greater Transmutation has been modified as follows:
Loses the ability to surge cast spells of the chosen sphere.
The MP gain has been increased to 20.
The addition to all weapon damage has been increased to +2 of the chosen element.

Can spells cast using abilities from this list still be counterspelled (i know valence cant as its not lower list)? i dont see why they wouldnt, but just want to make sure.

Yes.

Does Greatrer Transmutation still give the resists for the chosen element?
