I am a death and storm student :D :-) :) .Well this has been going on for a while and I have been too lazy to say anything When I do spells they tell you how many pips you need and when I got Kraken I needed 4pips but when I try to play it it makes me have 5 or 6. :? :? This is very annoying and why do they do this. Thank you for listening to my complaint. 8)
Power Pips only count as two pips only towards your school of focus. You mentioned your were a Death Student, therefore Power Pips will count as Two for Death Spells, but not for Storm Spells.
For all spells outside your school of focus, power pips count as a single pip.
oh wow!!!~ thx for letting us know..i was also wondering why i was not able to use certain spells if i had power pips it's frustrating..ugh!!~but now i know why..lol..thx teacher~
