See Challenge # 112.

I was thinking of other Velorn effects, trying to squeeze in some black commons. This is simple enough for common, but maybe swingy enough it has to be uncommon even if it's not exceptionally strong.

I found it really hard thinking of in-flavour Velorn kill spells, either around the elaborate funeral rights, or around things-gods-do-to-people. I had some ideas I will come back to, but they all portrayed a very negative view of Velorn and I wanted to try to be a bit less negative about them.

So I was trying to capture other aspects of the perfected, and remembered the way they were obeyed without question, hence this pump/shrink spell.

Suggestions for a more specific name, or for number/cost tweaks?

Looks good to me. This could cost anywhere from 3 to 5 or more depending on the needs of Limited. I think 3 is fine in a vacuum.

"Pride of the Perfected?" Anywho, seems pretty neat. I would be tempted to summarize the effect and the wording to "each other creature gets -1/-1," but maybe that's just me.
