Anachronox/MysTech & Elementor

MysTech

Color	Character	Effect	Description
Cyan	Boots	Freeze	Can't move.
Blue	Stiletto	Slow	Battle meter refills more slowly.
Green	Rho	Poison	Damage repeated every 5 seconds (3x).
White	Grumpos	Bane	No status effect. Heals ally.
Purple	Democratus	Winky	Battle meter refills erratically. And?
Yellow	PAL	Nuts	Attack randomly.
Red	Paco	Burn	Damage repeated every 5 seconds (3x).
Obsidian		Psy	Attack allies.

All effects last 15 seconds. Casting on allies removes the effect.

Using a Cobalt Crawler in one of the power slots causes the spell to hit all targets.

I wrote the rest of this section the first time I played the game, about a year ago, and I've forgotten exactly what I meant by some bits.

Spell name thresholds:

Name	Output	cost	CC
Freezo	1
FreezeZone	4
FreezeCubist	64	8/15
FreezySlicer	162	21/28	3x7, 2x7+1CC
FreezySlicer Harmonic	234	30/37	4x7+1x2, 3x7+1x2+1CC
FreezySlicer Ultimate	332	46/51	4x7+3x6, 4x7+1x6+1x3+1CC

Best pre-Vigil setup (works with any of the 216-throughput cells from Democratus surface): Bivice, 3x7, 1x6, including White, 1 Cobalt, one L4 function beetle, one L3. Arrange the beetles so that the L4 function gets all four, and the L3 function gets one L7, the L6, and a Cobalt. The first will be a 216 output/216 cost spell that hits one target; the second will be a 160 output/216 cost spell that hits all targets.

Best Vigil cell setup: Move the same beetles onto the Triangula host, only with the function beetles in parallel. Feed the L3 function beetle a flower so that it overlaps with another of the L7 beetles. This will be a 448 output/504 cost spell that hits all targets.

Best Recycler cell setup:

3-parallel	4x7, 1x6, 1x4	1CC, with one 7-function, one 6-function (omitting the CC) and one 5-function (omitting the CC and the L4)	124/992/884 (89%)
3-parallel	4x7, 2x6, 1x5	one 7-function, two 6-function (one omitting an L6, one the L5)	124/992/992

Damage scales logarithmically with output, and seems to depend on nothing else. Here is a partial chart:
