i want to know why if a gold pip = 2 white pips and i have one gold and one white that = 3 pips, so why does it take all 3 for a 2 pip spell?!?
If you click on the "Player Guide" at the top of this page, in the section called "How to Play", it explains that the yellow Power PIPs count as TWO PIPS towards spells in your main school of focus.
If you use the yellow Power Pip for a spell outside of your main school, then the Power Pip counts only as ONE PIP.
