Strong Back

Auras that make more Auras and Equipment cheaper are chasing a specific fantasy: the creature buried under gear that snowballs faster with each piece. What lifts this above a plain stat-stick is that the cost reduction applies twice, to two different verbs. Equip abilities you activate targeting the enchanted creature drop by , so a chain of Equipment can slide onto a single body for a fraction of their printed equip costs; Aura spells you cast targeting it drop by the same , turning follow-up enchantments into near-free stacking. That discount is what keeps a Voltron plan from collapsing under its own curve, since the classic failure mode of piling gear on one creature is running out of mana before you run out of attachments. And because the power bonus scales off the total count of Auras and Equipment stuck to the creature (this one included), each cheap addition also widens the swing, so the discount and the buff feed the same loop. The catch is the usual Aura fragility: everything routes through one enchanted creature, and a single removal spell answers the entire investment at once. Discount and body evaporate together, and that two-for-one exposure is what the design trades away to stack two cost breaks onto a three-mana enchantment.
