Thieving Magpie

Thieving Magpie Effect

Could black get the Thieving Magpie effect? Black trades for knowledge, with blood as the price, but does it matter whose blood it is?

The “curiosity” ability is in Blue and Green and it’s not used enough to justify stretching to a third color.

Behind Thieving Magpie

Who's the man behind Thieving Magpie? It's kinda silly, but it's my favorite creature in the entire game :D

I designed it because I wanted a simpler Ophidian. I was a big fan of Ophidian but I didn’t like the whole “you have to give up the damage to get the effect”.
