-Rulings and Clarifications-

• Weather Wizard requires the use of up to two Weather Glyphs.
• Q: If you have multiple figures with Weather Glyphs in a game, and the figure who started with a specific Glyph places it and the another figure moves that Glyph and then dies, does it get removed from the game?
  A: Yes. The last figure to move or place the Glyph is the one it is associated with for it being removed from the battlefield.

WEATHER WAND
Start the game with up to two Weather Glyphs of different types on this card. You may not have more than two Weather Glyphs on this card at a time.
• Instead of moving normally, you may choose a Weather Glyph on the battlefield within 4 spaces of Weather Wizard and place it on this card; or
• Instead of attacking, you may place a Weather Glyph from this card power-side up onto any space within 4 spaces of Weather Wizard.
Weather Glyphs cannot be placed on any space occupied by a glyph. When Weather Wizard is destroyed, remove all Weather Glyphs that were placed by this special power from the battlefield.

LIGHTNING STORM 17
Once per round, instead of attacking, you may roll the 20-sided die for all figures within 2 spaces of Weather Wizard, one at a time, adding 3 to the roll if the figure is on a water space. If you roll 17 or higher, that figure receives 2 wounds.

You know I dig it. It's hard for me to wrap my head around how he plays, but I think he'll direct the flow of battle nicely with the glyphs. I might make Weather Wand "instead of moving or instead of attacking" or just make it a free thing after moving, but it's hard to tell how powerful it'll end up being.

[tcglkn]

I could see the pickup being instead of moving and the placing being instead of attacking. Since you have stuff like Thunderstorm that triggers when it is placed for autowounds.

I’ll be honest, I still pretty much hold my belief that all Weather Glyphs should share the 2 space aura. But I know you disagree with that, and I don’t feel strongly enough to put up a giant objection.

Did you mean 1 space? Looking at the current ones, that's what seems to be used.

[MrNobody]

Yup, my bad. Consistency is more what I meant.

[IAmBatman]

Fwiw, I think if weaker effects want to have a chance of being brought, they need larger radiuses.

This was my logic. I figured a pretty clear line was the effects without a d20 roll could affect a larger area than the ones with stronger effects.

[johnny139]

I see the logic both ways with weather glyphs. I do think consistency is going to make them easier to remember, especially if there's a lot on the battlefield - you don't want to constantly be checking cards to see whether they affect your or not. But "how many people are affected" is by far the easiest dial to turn with these sorts of effects.

Not overly invested in the mechanic so I'm comfortable letting people who are make that decision. Strong arguments either way.

My best guess on a publisher for Sharknado is, uhh, Archie, so I'd go with that here. Technically it's owned by The Asylum but they don't seem to have a publishing branch from what I can tell.

I was thinking of using the art from the Magic card Shark Typhoon for the Glyph so I was thinking about making it IDW since that’s who published the MTG comic.
