https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B37VhVSliyofbHVEWGxWZW41S0k/edit Does this look about right to y'all? Cuz it's all I can imagine when I foist a Power Drain off on some poor sod's best wizard. Edit: Internet ate my image. Have a link instead. Edit to the Edit: Apparently I forgot to adjust the share settings. A-derp.
Will the link is finally working. Overall I like the illustration and think it conveys the core concept well but I'm not sure I like the details. I think it would look better without so literal of a "hand" of the old ones involved. Also, it looks like the Slann is channeling the power drain with his own abilities. Cupped Hands is a magical item so the mystic energy should be channeled through a conduit of some kind.
I've always imagined it as a sort of mystical fog that emanates from a crystal chalice on the Palanquin, which creeps along the jungle floor, pooling inbetween fallen logs and ruined stones, terrifying normal troopers, but engulfing the first wizard it encounters.
LMAO!!!! That pic was funny he reminded me of Racoom from DBZ Slann activates Cupped Hands: "Now you'll see my ultimate technique!" (MOUTH BEAM) I imagine it would be like that or he'd be like the Dovakin he just shouts "FROG RO DAH!" enemy wizard launches into chaos realm
