What Does Spell Cascade Work With?
Spell Cascade is a support gem that causes the linked spells to repeat their effect in front and behind of wherever you have targeted your spell at, at the cost of reduced area of effect and damage. But what exactly does it work with? Let’s dive into the details.
Triggered Spells
One of the primary uses of Spell Cascade is with triggered spells. Triggered spells are spells that trigger based on certain conditions, such as when a creature is dealt damage or when a player casts a spell. Spell Cascade can amplify these triggered spells, making them more powerful and effective. For example, if you have a triggered spell that deals damage to a player when they cast a spell, Spell Cascade can repeat that damage to the same player, dealing even more damage.
Cast When Damage Taken Spells
Cast When Damage Taken spells are another type of spell that Spell Cascade works well with. These spells are designed to trigger when the caster takes damage, and can be very powerful in certain situations. Spell Cascade can amplify these spells, allowing them to deal even more damage or have a wider area of effect.
Other Spells
Spell Cascade can also work with other types of spells, including direct damage spells, burn spells, and even crowd control spells. However, it’s important to note that Spell Cascade only amplifies the effect of the spell, it doesn’t change the spell’s purpose or behavior. For example, if you have a direct damage spell that deals 10 damage to a player, Spell Cascade would repeat that damage, making it 20 damage, but it wouldn’t turn the spell into a healing spell or a crowd control spell.
When Doesn’t Spell Cascade Work
While Spell Cascade can amplify many types of spells, there are some situations in which it doesn’t work. For example:
• Non-Triggered Spells: Spell Cascade only works with triggered spells. If you try to amplify a non-triggered spell with Spell Cascade, nothing will happen.
• Spells with No Range: Spell Cascade requires a spell to have a range in order to work. If a spell has no range, Spell Cascade can’t amplify it.
• Spells with No Damage: Spell Cascade can’t amplify spells that don’t deal damage. For example, if you have a spell that simply summons a creature, Spell Cascade can’t make it deal damage.
