Talk:Spooky alphabet block
I have a feeling there are multiple messages here...the following were with six in inventory)
You grab a handful of spooky alphabet blocks out of your pack and roll them at your opponent. The word that comes up is DEMON, and your opponent is suddenly beset by nightmarish visions of Hey Deze and the tortures that await it there for all eternity. (At least that's what you gather from its frantic babbling.)
One of the blocks flares up in sickly green flames and vanishes, leaving a scorch mark on the floor.

You grab a handful of spooky alphabet blocks out of your pack and roll them at your opponent. The word that comes up is GRAVE, and your opponent is beset by horrible Ebenezer Scrooge-like visions of their future death. (Very near future, if you have anything to say about it.)

Damage
There are three different outcomes that cause damage
- Spooky damage over several rounds
- Spooky damage all at once
- Spooky damage and also healing
I played around with foggy3 and foggy4 to try to find out what the variable was in the damage. Working with a much higher HP amount without boosting muscle did not affect the healing outcome. Boosting muscle increased all three outcomes for foggy3, but boosting mysticality and having an artificially low muscle led to greatly decreased outcomes. So the damage scales according to Muscle.
Now for the fun part: figuring out the actual formula. -Foggy (talk) 16:19, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
