am intrigued as to what factors make for a successful Ripple against creatures.

Tested in adan'f spirit dancers. The first time I couldn't get the dancer to disappear until I'd stunned it. However, with more mana, they disappeared. I tried this spell in a rescue situation in adan'f dancers and with around 6 creatures in the room, they were all blinked out. The spell also continues to work after you die, something I also discovered, sadly.

Decided to see what I could acheive with malchatas, they being close to home and my being a little bored. Initially I had to stun the malchata to to get it to disappear, but, by increasing the cast to the maximum I could acheive, they were all blinked out on first pulse.

Might the blinking out of the creature be decided with a combination of pm, prep size and creatures evasion?

I find this very alarming if I happen to have a precious weapon in my hand and loose it because of this spell and dieing... <frets>

In my view, this is a fair drawback of the spell. Besides dying while Ripple is going should be fairly rare, since you are poofing all the creatures.

More reason to use Moonblade too. Or better yet, no weapon at all!

Ripple as a spell is a big ball of Bad Arse fury... it is not a spell to be triffled with, and really isn't an every day spell for most mages. But it is raw power when it is needed... and truthfully that is exactly what I like to see in some of our spells. Right now I'd say even with the limited casts I've made of it it's at least in my top 5 list of spells if not higher (That top spot belongs to Riftal Summons and Riftal Summons alone...)
