That i would like to see (too bad it wouldnt work since blood slaves only appear as units during battle). Or how about sacrifice 10 or so slaves to free a horror marked commander and transfer the mark to some random fuzzy animal *imagines a rabbit being attacked by that god slaying doom horror*

10 is too little, unless it's a funky ritual at best.

Maybe make it require b4-5, 15 slaves, 75% chance of working and have a big chance the caster will be attacked by a horror during the ritual (only a small chance of it being a big horror though)? Losing a b4-5 mage is a nasty blow (losing either an expensive mage or booster items)and, even if he survived an attack from the horror the spell may not even have worked.

Well, that sounds better.

Horror mark seems silly now, from the sounds of wat Boron is saying, it really seems waayyy too effective for such a cheapie. Plus it makes deathmatch even MORE pointless. "Oh look, I'll send my astral one an horrormark x3 for script"

Its very effective vrs lone SC's or in duels but in most cases its no-where near as effective. I agree its too strong (dosnt it require astral 2 though?) since there is no way to remove it but how could you make it weaker? Increasing fatigue/limiting range is all i can think of because if it costed gems imo it would be pathetic.

Move it one or two up in Thaumaturgy or then make the current Horror Mark MR-resistable AND add a new spell that Horror Marks without chance to resist it to higher levels in Thaumaturgy.

I haven't tried the new horror mark yet, but if the risks grow steeply with the number of marks, one simple solution could be to add a chance of failure when adding a horror mark which is dependant on how many you have already. So creating the first one should always work, but after you have N trying to add a N+1th one should succeed 1/N of the time or somesuch curve, or you save at MR+N after you have one. That way you can still add more, but piling on a very high number requires real effort or bad luck, not just a couple of scripted cheap S1 mages and no way to avoid it except not playing.
