[Age of Wonders 4] Explosive Manifestation is pretty OP (Let's abuse err.. enjoy it while we can 😬)

To be fair, it's Explosive Manifestation PLUS Keeper's Mark that makes it unethical...

Hey Everyone, AlteredCalyx here and in this short video I show one of my favorite combat spells so far. It's actually a spell combo: Explosive Manifestation + Keeper's Mark. It feels a little cheater-like but that's not going to stop me from using it 😅. Honestly, maybe Keeper's Mark should NOT be applied to Explosive Manifestation since Keeper's Mark is a Unit Enchantment and Explosive Manifestation is a temporary combat summon... This will probably get nerfed, right 😳?? In the mean time, let's enjoy it while we can 😁

Explosive Manifestation = Tier 4 Astral Tome: Tome of Astral Convergence
Keeper's Mark = Tier 3 Order Tome: Tome of Sanctuary

It's the combination of
AoE when placed
Able to attack right afterwards
Enemies seem to prioritize it
Enemies that don't take the bait trickle in so we can focus fire
⭐️ It can't die because of Keeper's Mark ⭐️ (spared from first fatal hit only but still)
After Keeper's Mark triggers, it can still attack next turn AND distract enemy
