[Crossmod exploit] MFR grinder system vs Ars Magica 2 progression

[TangentialThreat]

So I was playing DW20 1.08 and had the idea to hit an earth guardian with a safari net.

This works with all the bosses, and the auto-spawner can clone it like any other creature. Cloned bosses do not damage terrain when they appear.

Grinders can slowly kill bosses, and produce infinity orbs (difficult to obtain items that give a point for the spell tech tree) when they do.

There's an extra step to make it practical and fast but you could easily have an endless stream of infinity orbs and access every AM2 spell in the midgame. FTB always has this kind of stuff but this is especially nerfworthy.

And what are you planning to do with, frankly, idiotically weak AM2 spells? This isn't infinite Iridium or infinite power or anything important, it's freaking AM2 skill points.

Magic is weak they said. Break into my home they did. Pick me up with a gravity gun and wave me around they did.

Then I cast disarm and suddenly the gravity gun wasn't in their hands anymore.

At some point I should probably make a compedium of useful spells. You can get rid of unwanted status effects, shoot spells that pierce armor, blind players, see invisible players, heal yourself automatically at low health, and cut a mountain in half by spamming zone projectile dig. Very few players are going to be competent mages because it takes so long to fill out the skill tree, but if you invest in it (or build a skill point machine) you will have several abilities that just aren't available any other way.

Some of the spells get idiotically OP in the damage area dealing something like 18 damage (9 hearts) per second. Anyone playing on a PvP server might find it rather valueable as magic also pierces armor (particularly MPS and Quantum). Someone like me who simply plays in singleplayer won't find much use for it other than to take out the Twilight Forest bosses, Withers, or the Ender Dragon. Although, there are some rather useful buffs that you can get from AM2.

I know the Safari nets don't like the taste of Twilight Forest bosses so more than likely the AM2 bosses will not be capturable via safari net in the next version of MFR, so no auto spawning them no OP'd grinder output.
