Dragon Age: The Aeducan Succession [Stopped]

Please refrain from calling Leliana "that Orlesian girl."

My party right now is Shale, Leliana (or Sten, if I need someone to brutally slaughter everything in sight), and Wynne. She recently got mana clash, which apparently does no damage to blood mages. Or elven mercenary mages.

I've gotten to use it twice (right at the start, too), and both times I dropped it right on the mage, and it did nothing. What am I doing wrong!?

edit: Nevermind, I just used it on that same blood mage.

I think it took 20 damage to kill her afterwards.

Dunno, what difficulty do you play on? On normal I found that my character could easily Mana Clash most mages to death. Might change on harder though, haven't levelled high enough to earn it on nightmare.

Normal.

I don't know what happened those first two times, I think I've used it half a dozen times since then, and the most health a mage ever had after that was half because he got 3 spells off.

I just need to find some spirit rings and a spirit amulet for Wynne, and a bunch of critical hit armor for me, and then I can basically do what ever I want.

Might have solved your problem: Mana Clash clashes your mana with the enemy's mana, right? So if either you or the enemy mage has little mana, the damage done will be small. I never notice because it's the first thing I do when I walk into a room, might solve your problem though.

The first time I tried it, I don't know how much either of us had. But the second time, at the literal first second of the fight, I paused the game and dropped a mana clash right on top of a blood mage and nothing happened.
