Great guide!
I noticed something that you missed though: Time on Actus increases the time it is alive, useful e.g. for homing Aura (put Time between Aura and Homing for best effect).

[ConductOfWar2]

hmm crash object/melle frost+detonate+random+impact+earth+detonate+random super low manacost explodes is 1-2 directions at a time.
end game firewall
path fire+move+time+size (with igni wand) supergreat UR immune for this damage, so death to eyeballs

[akbaar]

Thank you so informative!!! thank you for your time!!!

[Your Personal Companion]

Your information matches with the data I have dredged up, though you have a much more complete list. I can vouch for the general ballpark-ness if not full validity of your work. I will revise the wiki templates in the near future.

[Sephard]

Yeah, I just casted spells enough times to compare mana cost, and damaged dummies, scarecrows, the goblin in The Rise that gets stuck on the bridge, and the first skeletons in the Tomb to get damage values. Some mana cost values might be 10% off but I feel that it still lets people know what they need

And sure, people are probably more likely to end up googling to find a wiki instead of thinking to look here

[Your Personal Companion]

Let me just add something I neglected to mention last time: thank you very much for the write-up. May I request permission to use your guide on the wiki? Full credit will be given to you for the information you have taken the time to record here.

[Your Personal Companion]

Fascinating, both in that I never knew Steam Guides existed and the depth of your analyses. How did you get the specifics of your Rune research, just trial-and-error?
