Hive Mind steals magic. No problem. I understand the trait. It does not say however, steals up to … it actually specifies the magic it will steal. I understand some troops have traits that reduce the impact of attacking troops trait ; however consistently where this is not a factor, Hive Mind does not steal the total magic it states it is capable of stealing. So what you ask; well either it steals the amount stated or it doesn’t. If it doesn’t steal the amount stated outside of any blocking traits ; then the trait is inaccurate; a lie or broken. Truth with traits taking into consideration blocking trait factors should be transparent. Shoddy, grody gaming trait information otherwise. Truth with traits; obviously too much to ask as per usual. ---

You cannot steal something enemy doesn’t have… Same goes for stealing attack/life spells. Upper limit is always what the target unit has… ---

Thankyou for trying to explain what is happening, however, yes I understand this. You cant steal what it doesn’t have. If it has no magic , nothing there. But if it has 30 magic and no blocking traits , you should steal actually 30 magic not 27 and leave 3 . I I have checked . I am monitoring . It is not a consistent trait. It often leaves some random low magic number. So what; it has removed magic yes. But if it says 30; it should be 30, not ; oh dear, poor troop and leave something. It either steals the magic stated or not. Currently with consideration of any blocking trait, it does not. The trait is incorrect. ---

Could you track which troops are having their magic preserved and if by any means they have any spell damage reduction traits ? if not, write them (troop names) in this topic, that might be an issue to report as a bug. ---

> [@FREDDY](#): > > It often leaves some random low magic number. On a wild guess I suspect you are looking at spell damage numbers after stealing magic to determine that a “low magic number” is left. That won’t work, most spells do [magic + x] damage, meaning the spell will still do x damage at zero magic. ---

That’s what i thought too. The actual magic of a troop, you can see on the front card (red on the screenshot). You might be looking at the one in yellow on the screenshot. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/0/f/0f4a45927afa69fe010faf4a7738565efdaf58b5.jpeg)
