Imix

Smoke Jaguar

Cloaked behind layers of deception.

"The forty-five of us had gotten lost in the vast northern prairie. The dragon, Imix, appeared and urged us to follow it to a nearby town. Imix led us on a long trek, waiting patiently until we'd exhausted our supplies. Nearing starvation, we begged Imix to find us food. Imix indicated that there was plenty of delicious food within reach.

We realized that Imix meant us. We fell upon each other with ravenous hunger, eating whatever flesh we could until there was only one left. Me. I looked at Imix, who laughed with glee. Imix simply stepped aside and there was the town, just over the hill."

Design Intent

Imix is a deceptive, rage-intensive sorcerer who can take down anything as long as it has fuel for its spells.

The core of Imix’s spell set is Aspect of Stealth. Aspect of Stealth conceals Imix completely, allowing the dragon to avoid all attacks while still attacking and casting spells normally. While concealed by Aspect of Stealth, Imix must concentrate on using its destructive spells to devastate the opposing island before its protection ends.

Imix’s offensive spell barrage begins with Aspect of Decay. This spell greatly increases the damage that affected towers take and reduces the damage those same towers do by a small amount. Aspect of Flame is a powerful spell that when used on towers weakened by Aspect of Decay should guarantee their destruction.

As the protection of Aspect of Stealth fades, Imix pulls out its last trick, Aspect of Deceit. This spell summons an ghostly duplicate of Imix. While this illusionary double is capable of doing real damage to enemy towers, it can only endure a shot or two. Unlike other summon spells, timing is critical with Aspect of Deceit - wait too long and Imix will endure damage that it can’t afford to take, but cast it too soon after Aspect of Stealth fades and it won’t protect against additional attacks.

Ever the trickster, Imix delights in deceiving and manipulating those it meets. Imix finds no victory sweeter than causing someone to choose their own defeat. Imix has delighted in the influx of creatures to the Northern Prairies, finding the newcomers both unaware of Imix’s love of deception and vulnerable to the dangers of plains.
