I have returned with the math on Sylvanimora’s ability. I found that the cost of 17 was acceptable compared to Behemoth’s 14. The following are all approximations but close enough… Assume that on a given board, there are about 9 of each color (including skulls). Behemoth destroying 10 gems will therefore get one skull and 9 mana. Maybe 2-3 of that 9 mana will start recharging Behemoth. Comparatively, Sylvanimora will _explode_ 24 gems, of which 2-3 will be skulls, leaving 21-22 mana - at the 70% rate for explosions, the gain is about 14-15 mana (4-5 going to Sylvanimora). Behemoth does +1 damage\*, Sylvanimora gets a decent amount more mana even after the extra cost. However, Sylvanimora can also control the columns to destroy - meaning the player can choose which mana to get (potentially recharging half or more of the cost), leave a skull match for the entangled first enemy to try to use, and so on. So I think 17 is fair. (\*: 16 damage instead of 17, late-game, doesn’t mean much either - easy trade for board control effects) --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/my-fair-lady/11059)._
