Squareness Gun

Post by miyu »

A hex inspired by Doctor Who that phases a 3x3 out of any surface for three seconds. By replacing phase, you can make it a conjure block hex, a hammer hex, etc... The hex is annotated lightly with small helpful guides what each chunk does. By no means is it simple to make either: this hex is 71 patterns long. It uses Hexal for Phase Block, but if you just need a hammer hex, it's completely base Hexcasting

As expected, someone smarter than me was able to hack away at my hex to make it smaller! They helped remove NINETEEN patterns from it! I also made use of Dioscuri to trim two patterns off. The final result is 50 patterns long!
