#Lightning Teleport

I'm looking for a way to make it look like I'm teleporting via lightning and blink.

#

i'd like to have it strike where i am and where i will end up at the same time

#

i'm by no means looking for efficiency here, only pizzaz.

#

so far I simply have this which unfortunately hurts myself which i dont really want but if its unavoidable that's fine

did u tried delay btween blink and lightning?

fair nimbus
#

this works more or less but i take quite a lot of damage and probably would die were it not for the aethermancer armor

#

i wish there was a way to have the lightning strike after i move so i avoid the damage

#

there's just no way to cause two effects to happen at once it has to be all in one effect

Try overhead propagate arc?

fair nimbus
#

i dont have overhead in this modpack

#

having the lightning strike in two places at once as a requirement makes the execution of this really difficult

#

maybe some shenanigans with block shapers focus resolving spells on the blocks it affects?

#

like projectile launch lightning rotate :propagate_self: lightning

#

saves a lot of accelerates too by only actioning the spell once you hit a block it can action on

#

if you don't want to mangle the terrain where you go you can open with conjure mageblock

#

could apply a similar principle with a summoners focus and summon_decoy

#

with the added benefit of leaving a wounded decoy behind in your wake

#

could even lifelink it to mitigate some of the lightning damage

Would this not work?

#

I did have a better spell for smth sinilar but i dont have it atm

you'll always get damage cause the lightning have a small delay before it falls. so you either get hit by the one where you blink or the one you blink from.

#

that said, projectile -> lightning -> delay ( duration_down needed maybe ) -> blink -> reset -> pSelf -> lightning might perhaps work?

#

The layman's option is just to get reactive with healing and dispel on your armor to tank the damage

fair nimbus
#

dampen also works to midigate the damage done but there's only so much space and it being a teleport I feel like Ray would be the best option since its instant.

wintry wren
#

Ray also requires an extra addon, though

wintry wren
#

though I quite like my decoy swap idea

fair nimbus
#

im still unfamiliar with what reset even does, the tooltip is confusing.

wintry wren
#

will test when I can be bothered to make a summoners focus

wintry wren
#

Actually no

#

it resets the target to the initial target

#

after a form propagation

#

Taking the spell I wrote as example, when you put delay you make a subcontext (think of it as an open parenthesis) of the main context

#

With reset, you close that parenthesis and allow the following glyph to not be delayed but resolve right after lightning

#

That applies for anything else that create a subcontext, like linger type or propagator_arc type

fair nimbus
#

oh okay

#

i just tested your spell and it almost works exactly how i want but in reverse

#

it strikes the location first then blinks and strikes me

#

which is in the same spot

#

again

nimble rivet
#

Ah, so delay is not being reset

#

Weird

fair nimbus
#

😛

nimble rivet
#

Not sure if it's a bug or a missing interaction

#

Then maybe... projectile lightning self lightning reset blink ?

fair nimbus
#

ah yep

nimble rivet
#

Call lightning on the spot, move to caster and call lightning on that spot, then return to hit spot and use it to teleport caster

#

Unsure on how to avoid damage

fair nimbus
#

that does work, its so fast its hard to tell but with some fast camera moves i can see it

#

and the damage is kinda unavoidable as said above and thats not really the main issue, i just wanted the look of the spell to work the way i wanted

#

t4 aethermancer with pro IV on everything is pretty good at midigating the dmg as is

#

so i can just slam Dampen on each of those lightnings to further reduce it

#

good enough thanks a bunch!

#

and then with the artifice stuff yeah auto heal would help out a lot so then you can swap out the dampens with accelerates to make the teleport happen faster/sooner.

#

and I can't stress this enough, this is simply for coolness factor not efficiancy/ease of use/ effective means of teleporting.

#

maybe you can do smth with reset

#

oh wait you want where youll en up
