View Full Version : Arcane Nexus+ Spell bonus- a simple question

This should be somewhere on the forum, but I can't find it.
I have Arcane Nexus up, and i also have the ultiate gateway (50% conjuration bonus). I cast a flurry of tartarian gates.

The gate costs 25/2=13 gems.
How many will the nexus give back? Nexus percentage*25 or NP*13?

If it is the latter, might one get more gems out of the spell than it costs? And the spell's affects? Doesn't bear thinking about.

May the light of Him guide you. May it purify the world. He shall save it for his people.

iirc, for every 4 gems you actually spend (not the nominal cost), you'll get back one astral.

I thought it was 1/8th, not 1/4th.

ehh it converts the gems used to astral at a 2 for 1 basis, and then returns whatever ratio is mentioned in the spell description, I forget what exactly, but if it says "one quarter" then it would end up being 1/8th...

Thanks. That is unfortunate though, since i cant get 6 gem abominations. Oh well.
