I've seen one called "Fadran," so probably yes.

Do you chess.com account?

"Well, really, most of my research was to travel to the Sacred Realm, but I'm sure at least some of it will be useful."

"I'm-- I'm Gedfish."

"I... I think I might have some research that could help."

Someone walked up to the two. "Er, excuse me, but are you trying to remake the Mirror of Twilight?"

My personal recommendation is to implement a system of diminishing returns and maybe a hard maximum for component efficiency. For instance, maybe the energy absorption halves in effectiveness every hour,* meaning that you’d have to take steady damage for the next 4.271x10^46 years to use the spell. This means that you could only use it a few times per game if you don’t want to be constantly two minutes from death by health drain. And if the duration can’t be longer than twelve hours, than the energy absorption can only cover 111 damage, and thirty days could only cause 284.82 damage. (It makes sense from a lore perspective, too; it would be harder to drain health five days in the future than five hours, and five hours than five minutes.) *For instance, the first hour would take one hour, the second hour would take two hours, the “third” hour would take four hours, etc.

In that case, let’s say I make a damage spell that drains one heart a minute for one week after it’s used. This substitutes five magic per minute, and there are 10,080 minutes in a week. In essence, this totals out to 50,400 magic points, and if they’re all spent on definite damage, this makes 25,200 damage. Or, if half the magic is spent on d100 damage, then the damage output is 12,600+336d100, averaging out to 29,400 damage total with a theoretical maximum of 46,200. (For reference, Calamity Ganon only has 8,000 health, and a gold lynel has 7,500.) And losing a heart a minute isn’t that hard to mitigate. For instance, a five-heart healing spell would cost ten magic points, which could be completely taken care of with fifty rupees’ worth of bokoblin parts that don’t get consumed, which shouldn’t be too hard to obtain through relentless bokoblin farming.

One more question: in the case of hearts, does it just damage you, or does it consume the container as well?

Not really. Why?

“Pretty good, though it looks like you might have reason to be concerned for your health.” He gestured, somehow, to the three above posts. @2EmLee2

Someone showed up. “Hi!” he said. “I just showed up!”

Enter stood up. “I think her suggestion has merit.” “No. This is happening now, whether you like it or not.” “So you’re going to needlessly escalate this?”

Not-Enter Pushed on the dart, deflecting it right above his head.

Not-Enter didn’t bother catching the cube. “Rude makes no difference to me.” Enter un-impaled himself, removing the sword and healing the wound with Feruchemical gold. Enter’s sword shouted at Not-Enter. Hey! You’re not allowed to stab people like that!

Someone stepped into the meeting. He looked exactly like Enter, down to the smallest detail—with one exception. The newcomer gave off a clear, distinct, immeasurable sense of wrongness. Enter spoke. “Wha- What are you doing here!?” “Checking on the Fellowship. What else?” Not-Enter took Enter’s sword and impaled him through the gut onto the ground with it—faster than should have been possible without pewter or Feruchemical steel.

"I don't know. Also, go ahead and try to find it."

440. If your enemy is taunting you, especially about how they destroyed something with great sentimental value to you (the town where you grew up, your childhood favorite toy, your home planet, etc), keep your anger under control. It’s almost certainly a ploy to kill or capture you, and attacking them right then and there won’t do any good. (Plus, there’s also a chance that they’re lying. It might not be a good chance, depending on a few things, but it’s still a chance.)

"I have my doubts as to whether that would work."

EmLee stood up and turned to her older brother. “I’m here to help you on your adventures, of course! And back when you made your backpack I snuck an emergency teleporter in there in case I needed you.” EmLee wore a simple yellow dress that went down to her knees, along with bright blue leggings and stylish- but practical -leather boots. She had on rose-red glasses that had a slight cat-eye shape to them. Her brown-red-gold-but mostly brown hair was in two Dutch braids that reached her mid-back. “So, what can I do to help?” "Are you capable of damaging that big blue monster thingy? Because otherwise, not much right now."

“Wha- What are you doing here? How’d you get here!?”

Enter started throwing dynamite at the largest monster, trying to blow off pieces of it and expose the orb.
