A papaxi trine sun and aapek conjunct sun will give you six negative spheres, four of which will have power costs.
You owe me your firstborn for making me work that out.

The two squares cancel eachother; you can only have one or the other. This does raise the chance of having 5 spheres from 3.33% to 13.33%, though.
Xavius2008-05-09 23:46:51
Ah, you're right, they do. More plugging the chart. Bleh.
Also, double-check your percentages. I'm scratching those next. It's impossible to have percentages less than 8% with astrology, and

So, while I'm plugging away at this, anyone tested what neutral spheres do with meteor?
Unknown2008-05-10 01:00:10
My new calculations calculate the chance of getting 5 spheres as 5.5%
Xavius2008-05-10 01:03:38
It's 16.67% even if I don't find something other than Papaxi trine sun. There's only twelve configurations that matter. You can't drop below 8.33%.
Unknown2008-05-10 01:04:55
That's factoring in the chance of Papaxi not effecting Sun?
Xavius2008-05-10 01:10:52
EDIT: Again, nevermind. I so hate astrology.
Unknown2008-05-10 04:30:00
Checked with Malarious, 0 point spheres are negative. You can get 6, it seems.
Malarious2008-05-10 04:45:46
1) Papaxi effects each sphere seperately
2) To really try to get all those negative spheres you would have to destroy the sphere and redo it (higher power, wp, and end costs.
The fact spheres have high costs is what allows the skill to have no power cost of its own. If the damage didnt check resistance we could make a solid formula and make the damage type unblockable or something if it was wished. If you can resist the formula it should be high, otherwise we can go with formulas noted earlier.

l narsrim
He is a graceful elfen demigod and possesses a defined masculine physique - his
arms and legs are toned with muscle, visibly flexing with every gesture he
makes. His skin is a rich milky hue that glistens softly, even in the faintest
trace of light. His head is sleek and freshly shaved, drawing attention to his
distinct facial features: sparkling amethyst eyes stare upon his surroundings,
shifting and rarely blinking; high, defined cheek bones; pointed Elfen ears that
adjust slightly to any sign of noise; and a boyish smile that speaks of
mischief. On the anterior of each hand, starting just before his fingernails, a
series of arabeque, ritualistic scars slither up his arms and ascend to his
shoulders. He is wearing a moonflower, a skeletal necklace, 3 dark red brooch,
tinged with turquoises, a braided leather bracelet, an onyx spider necklace, a
feathery pink cloak, a beryl sun ring, a dark crown with silken webs, silken
gossamer robes of palest blue, a star-pierced wedding band, a pack of fiery
leaves, 2 rings of thorns, an etched amethyst ring, 2 twisting rings of
amethyst, and a friendship ring of pure jade.

Meteor is fine, it has costs, it can be greatly reduced, and it can be stopped.
