Hey, welcome. Nice ideas. Honest feedback from me: Pirate Ship: cool concept, I think we can do far more with it. Wouldn’t be a mech unless you meant a robot ship, which isn’t very pirate-like. Maybe needs rogue type as well. Spell has a few problems: 10 gems is too many to make, 9 is the highest number that works. This would self charge too. But then it doesn’t do anything unless there’s a space for the cannon summon. I’d rework as: summon a ship cannon, create 8 brown gems, deal x shots of (magic stat) damage to random enemies, where x is number of friendly ship cannon plus two. Mana cost needs to be about 16. Third trait: I’m suspicious - cool idea but I think could be abused and be over-powered - maybe a fixed amount of damage (5?) to all enemies is better. Oh, don’t like the spell name ‘ironed protocol’ either - think you mean ‘iron’ not ‘ironed’ (unless someone took the creases out?) and ‘protocol’ sounds too scientific to me. For that spell, maybe ‘Bombardment’ or ‘Repel Boarders’ work. Orelitrus: hmmmm. Cool idea, but we’ve a lot of fire demon things kicking around and I wouldn’t rush to make another. Spell: nice idea, but having gems created scale up is risky. Move ratio to 3:1 maybe. Even then, possible combos with Sheggra and IK make me wary. Also we have red/yellow and blue/green pair gem creators already, brown/purple is the missing one. All that said, the spell needs to do more for an 18 mana cost: maybe damage, maybe burn stuff. Third trait: nice, that works well. ---
