I just realized you can use this on incorporeal creatures which is a bit odd. It seems useless at first but you could combine with Malock's torment to apply some direct damage (and maybe the new warlock can use it to help her burns get on incorporeal creatures which are otherwise very hard to burn)

It's not a big deal but it's a weird oversight. Or at least a change in policy to be less restrictive compared to say force hold which cannot target incorporeal creatures and is also useless on them. 

And why not let us target conjurations? A rusty battle forge makes tons of sense and doesn't seem abusive in any way.

Incorporeal are Burnproof by default.

What are you on about? Lots of enchantments can target incorporeal creatures.

  • [mwcard=MW1E04]Chains of Agony[/mwcard]
  • [mwcard=MW1E14]Enfeeble[/mwcard]
  • [mwcard=MW1E27]Marked for Death[/mwcard]
  • [mwcard=FWE01]Charm[/mwcard]
  • [mwcard=MW1E15]Essence Drain[/mwcard]
  • [mwcard=DNE03]Stumble[/mwcard]
  • [mwcard=MW1E30]Pacify[/mwcard]
  • [mwcard=MW1E16]Force Hold[/mwcard], yes it can target incorporeal creatures, yes it is useless
  • [mwcard=FWE04]Force Crush[/mwcard], same here

It would have been interesting if Rust could target Conjurations as well, I agree.

And I still wonder, if an Iron Golem is that huge, how it doesnt has 20 attack dices? Anything hit or stomped on should instant die.

A regular human has around 9-12 life. A mage has about three times that amount. A mage can take several bullets and still be able to run around. Why wouldn't they be able to avoid being insta-killed by an iron golem's attack?

I am Sailor Vulcan! Champion of justice and reason! And yes, I am already aware my uniform is considered flashy, unprofessional, and borderline sexually provocative for my species by most intelligent lifeforms. I did not choose this outfit. Shut up.

Was more thinking about a Grizzly vs an Iron Golem... How come a bear can survive a hit by an iron first twice his size?

Hmm, Rust could be a fun trick to remove corrode tokens from yourself or your creatures. Than transfer it off to your real target.
