These mages had the power to cast a spell on any living being. Once this being was under teh spell of these mages, it would be irresistable to attack.

Mage of Attraction
HP: 34
Armor: 0
Blocking: 70 (35)
Movement: 3
Range: 4
Power: 2 (focus)
Recovery: 3

Attack: The Mage of Attraction targets 1 Living unit within a range of 4. This unit is dealt 2 damage every half turn. And this unit becomes Enlightened.

When a unit is Enlightened, all Living units of the opposite team, cannot attack any other unit besides the enlightened one.

Wards cannot be targeted by the MoA, and are not forced to attack the enlightened unit.
You cannot attack an enemy cleric to make them attack their own cleric, it will make YOU attack their cleric.

This effect is negated when the MoA loses focus, or if the enlightened unit is barriered.

~~Tactics~~
Use this on a knight or another high armored unit, and prevent all other units from taking damage. however, the enlightened uit loses 2 HP every half turn, which makes it balanced.

Not to mention it is getting attacked everyturn.
Plus, since you cannot barrier the enlightened unit, you can't keep it protected for ever, and the damage CAN kill a unit.

--Tell me what you think. I kinda got this idea from F_A's unit, but I kinda reveresed the effect.

interestng concept.
however i think it is overpowered. say i use this on my dragon. all living units must attack my dragon and my pyros and DSMs are allowed to wander wherever they like. plus, how do you break focus?
you have to attack the enlightened creature.

and you could just run the dragon away.

So which is it?

Waht I amsaying is that it CAN be barriered, but it then becomes un-enlightened.

Cuathon. It becomes un enlightened by attacking the MoA..... I'll add a time limit to it also. ...also remeber it is losing 2 HP every half turn, 4 HP everturn, half as much as the wisp..or the same?

all living units must attack the enlightened unit.

ah, I missed that...... I'll have to re-do this unit at a later time when I can come up with a better way to figure out the effect.

I like the effect of this unit, but you have to think of a better way to use this effect because at the current one it is overpowered and confusing. It's a good unit for a start, keep working on it and it should turn out fine.

read my post. this unit is way overpwered. its impossible to attack anything but the enlightened unit. if you just switch when its about to die then you can keep em wasting time forever.

yes it is... Like I said, Let this thread Die, I am going to come up with a way to make the power balanced. Iwant to find a way to implement this effect. I think it would be sweet. I just need to find out how to balance it.
