((If you actually manage to make the plant even worse and I survive this one, I'll use Lamar's bowels as pretty necklaces.))
relax... it hasn't even taken any damage yet and the chances of me overshooting are less than zero so i cant make it bigger... this turn...
im looking at a spell roll of something like 1D6 -5 difficulty -1 restoration -1 all actions +1fleshwarping... so even if i roll a 6 i actually roll a 0 and cause the vines around everyone to rot significantly... huzzah for weaponized failure[/quote]
Haha no. You cannot create hyper-effective death weapons using magic you have no skill in merely by trying to heal them instead, just like you can't create hyper-effective healing effects using magic you have no skill in by trying to kill the target.
this is going on my experience with restoration so far... it always affects the intended target but if it fails its instant necrosis.
You experience with restoration is apparently woefully inadequate.
((just went and looked at the 1 roll definition... so if i roll a 3 (somehow) with that action ill somehow manage to heal it... and if i fail (guaranteed) ill make the situation worse by over healing it and turning it into a giant plant based cthulhu?))
Very low rolls that were never intended to or had no chance to succeed will generally just apply very un-restoration-like effects to the caster, rather than buffing or aiding the target directly. Sucking all your health out to inject into it instead probably isn't out of the question, though.
