At her father's urging, she leaves her Brazilian rainforest home and joins Professor Xavier's school. Upon her return, she is temporarily led to believe that her real name is Allison Crestmere.

As I said before, I like this design. My only suggestion so far is change "unoccupied" to "empty" so people aren't trying to place lava on top of glyphs.

[SirGalahad]

Good catch, Necro.

Updated.

[Hahma]

Looks good Sir G.

[Griffin]

I would like to see Eruption 14 modeled more closely after Mika Connour's Blend into Shadows special power.

How do you end your turn on an empty space? When you end your turn, the space isn't empty anymore.

ERUPTION
Magma starts each game with 4 molten lava tiles on her Army Card. If Magma ends her turn on an empty land space, you may place a molten lava tile from her Army Card onto the space she occupies if the molten lava tile fits normally onto that space.

So are "land spaces" any one-hex high tiles that are not road or wall walk?

[NecroBlade]

Any hex with height, including roads and wall-walks - so yes, you can place shadow or create an eruption in the middle of a road to ruin the road bonus.

Blend Into Shadows:
Molten Lava tiles may be placed on any empty land space. She may not place a Molten Lava tile on a Water, Swamp Water, Ice, Molten Lava or Shadow tile. She may also not place a shadow tile over a Glyph as the space is not empty.
