Doing my own playtest and I noticed that with Tome of Necromancy and an Eldritch Sovereign, you get a free ritual! It's a ritual where you can spend 30 Souls to gain 3 Thralls

Yeah, I've seen that you could trade souls for thralls and vice versa, but I didn't know for the Umbral dwelling. Good to know! I've made myself a Nether Lich, but I didn't play him yet as I still hesitate over some details

Getting Heroes from Mystic - Potential vassals is nice now, because they can manually overcharge spells for you even if you don't have the culture.
@Erligan7 ай бұрын
For me, Potential feels closer to Tzeentch, casting different spells. Attunement, while gives possibility to cast more spells in a turn, works beater if you choose Affinity, great for roleplaying as Wizard/Mage from Tower that focuses on one element, Attunement also great when fighting enemies with particular elemental weakness, you do have to plan ahead.
@Fableheim7 ай бұрын
For the poll, I made Tzeentch an Attunement option because I knew that I'd be playing Potential with Blint and didn't want the potential an exact repeat. 😅 Conveniently, the Grand Empress seems to have secured the W, so it seems time to shake off the High Culture rust.
