>>Speaking of the Venn diagram, isn't it mislabeled? High Sorcery is labeled as 3-way mixes but all High Sorcery spells are dual mana frequency mixes that involve the confound. Consider those spell descriptions as referring to the dominant foreign ingredient. Using completely made-up numbers, Saesordian Compass -- described as a Holy-heavy blend -- might be composed of 90% Lunar, 9% Holy, and 1% Elemental. Each high sorcery spell involves three types of mana to one degree or another. This is a slight clash between M2 and M3 lore, and we haven't always done a good job of portraying this, but it has been the case since the birth of M3. Mechanically, only the second type impacts the casting calculations of high sorcery. With low sorcery, mana types don't impact casting calcs at all because their mixtures are even more imprecise. GM Grejuva PS: None of the sorcery mechanics I talk about here applies to guilded Necromancer books.
