Control Flames Tech; A Halloween special Tonight I reveal one of the the scariest techs; level 0 god exit, with control flames. Lets get to it, there’s one particular part of ‘control flames’ that is of very high interest in terms of ultra-optimization. “You cause simple shapes—such as the vague form of a creature, an…

Druidcraft: Flower Power

Here we’ll be dissecting druidcraft and it’s various benefits. Often called “druids prestidigitation”, druidcraft does not live up to the pure power of prestidigitation, but it does have power behind it that shouldn’t be ignored, especially on a druid who lacks minor illusion and prestidigitation innately. > You create a tiny, harmless sensory effect that…
